A Toadstool Tryptic
Tessy the Toadstool Faerie enjoys having adventures in the garden, but even she has to stop climbing and playing games of make believe when her mummy calls her to family tea with her parents and baby Tobias.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 5th of July is "triptych", which is a set of three associated or interconnected images displayed together as a single artwork. It\'s like a visual story told through three separate but related photographs, often with a shared theme or narrative. The request for this theme is that three separate photos are used and that they are displayed in the traditional orientation: side by side. For the theme, I have chosen four little little toadstool faeries – Tessy, her mother, her father and baby Tobias in his father’s arms. All these little toadstool faeries are hand made and felted by Ambrosius in Romania and were acquired from Oskar’s Wooden Ark, a small, independent, family run business the Adelaide suburb of Gepps Cross in South Australia.
Ambrosius dolls have been lovingly made in Transylvania, Romania, since 1996. A collaboration between Katalin Poszony, the owner of Ambrosius, and a Waldorf School resulted in beautiful, eco-friendly, handmade fairy dolls, inspired by particular flowers or fruits. From there on Ambrosius flower fairies took the world by storm but Katalina’s love for nature and focus on sustainability remained the same. All of her creations are made from sustainable materials such as wool, wool felt, and wood. Katalina’s company Ambrosius doesn’t only support the environment but is also one of the few Romanian companies that support mothers with young children, retirees and people with disabilities by offering them working from home opportunities. Giving back and helping the ones in need is also close to Katalina’s heart and a part of Ambrosius’ profits is donated to the local Waldorf School and also to educational institutions in some of Transylvania\'s poorer villages.
I would like to acknowledge and thank my Flickr Friend Red Stilletto red stilletto for inspiring me to use the application of a wide white frame, a design element she uses to create great impact with her own images.
