A Pink Flower Faerie Amid the Climbing Roses
The Pink Flower Faerie is doing her best to rearrange the roses in her arbour. She cannot abide untidy and unruly blooms in her rose garden, but some are stubborn and recalcitrant, especially when they are still determined little buds. If anyone can neaten the blooms up and bring them to heel, it is her!
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “up-close/macro” was chosen by Andrew, ajhaysom.
How could I fail to go past my Playmobil collection for such a theme?
Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil are their vibrant colours and the array of different items that are produced. I wanted to continue my series of faerie Playmobil tableaux, following on from the Yellow, Blue, Pink, Green, Rainbow, Winter, Forest and Spring Faeries who have appeared in previous “Snap Happy” challenges.
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
