I've been working on Holly, she's the faerie of the holly plant. I thought she would be really cute for Christmas. There is a lot of interesting lore about the holly plant, and it has healing properties too! I will be writing more about that when she is all finished. ^_^

These are some faerie ladies I made (not all finished), plus an adorable Red Riding Hood stamp I didn't make.
Each faerie represents a different season.
is a silk dupioni dress, with a musrhroom wooden button and wool felt applique...plus her faerie pouch, a garland, a shawl and her shoes...and of course her wings, which we forgot for the photoshoot!
"Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame."
~William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894
The Peatbog Faeries play The Old Fire Station, Carlisle, Cumbria
The Peatbog Faeries are a largely instrumental Celtic fusion band. Formed in 1991, they are based in Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Their music embodies many styles and influences, including folk, electronica, rock and jazz, - but their main influence is traditional celtic music. The band's unique sound is created through a mix of programmed effects and traditional celtic arrangements, played on bagpipes, fiddles, and whistles.
The band have twice won "Live Band of the Year" at the Scottish Traditional Music Awards and were nominated for "Live Band of the Year" at the BBC Radio 2 folk awards.
“Faeries are nice beings, they grant wishes. Right?” – Unknown
While some certainly do nice things and some may even grant wishes; others still play harmless pranks to fool the mortals they encounter.
To most the fae are mischievous tricksters on the surface and no true threat. However the fae hierarchy stretches and grows like the roots of the oldest trees in the forest and for every bit of light and shimmer as branches raise high in the sky; there is dark and shadow as roots dig deep into the earth.
The Duskfall Court is the seat of shadow and where pranks are rarely harmless. Those who abide by its laws find themselves watched over by the nobility of the court.
Those who tread these woods best watch out because the woods watch back and will not hesitate to ensnare the unwary.
The Duskfall Court is sponsored by Quills & Curiosities and Cryptid
The region is magically created by Dacien & Marcel Blackwood, Crow, and Lemony Nova

Finally got some pics of my Amethyst Faerie, I just finished her hair a couple of hours ago. She is made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton, and real amethyst beads for her ball-joints. Now she just needs a dress!
The good spirit of the forest is hiding somewhere in this picture... be careful if you're sensitive, she's naked.

Our younger daughter is going to a Regency Ball to be held at Lucca, near Florence in August. The Summer Pleasures of 1818.
The dress code asks that the ladies wear faerie wings as well (of course) as ball gowns appropriate to the period. This event is associated with the local Jane Austen Society.
Dad was requested to come up with the required kit. This is the framework, upon which will be stretched layers of sparkly netting.
I made the wings, and the harness which connects them, from common grounding wire, which comes in two sizes at the local hardware store. The smaller is a seven strand twist of 16 gauge copper wire; the heavier is 12 gauge, similarly twisted up.
The first job is to untwist the wires and straighten them. The quickest and best way I found to straighten the wire was to stretch it, in the case of the 16 gauge, until it breaks.
I used 12 gauge for the 'main rib' of each wing (the inside or root wire upon which the other 'veins' are wound; also using this heavier wire for the harness frame. The spreading veins, and the 's'-shaped stabilizing pieces are all from 16 gauge. The assembly simply soldered together.
The wings are each mounted onto the harness frame by two small brass bolts, allowing the whole item to be taken apart and packed into a (large) suitcase.
