We all know about the big name fairies, like The Tooth Fairy, Tinker Bell, The Fairy Godmother and The Sugar Plum Fairy.

But did you know there is also an Ink Fairy? Yes, it’s true! She is the protector of ink and bringer of creativity🖋✨

And since we are getting ready for Inktober around here, this month’s prompt is inspired by the Ink Fairy: Today was the day, she just KNEW it. Today, Ellie would finally snap a photo of an ink fairy 📸

This one comes to us from Jake Parker, the Inktober guy! He added a few extra requirements just to get in the spirit of things:

• Must be ink, or look like ink.

• Must be black and white.

If you are not used to working in black and white, this could be a fun challenge to get out of your comfort zone!

Ok team, let’s do this!
