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!
Original polymer sculpture, silicone mold made from it, 100% recycled paper casting, then acrylic painted.
finally spun the faerie kit from pumpkinhaus. the kit contained a textured batt, turquoise roving, locks, some charms, novelty snippets, green tulle, fabric, and feathers. i also used the cellophane it was wrapped in along with the ribbon.
didn't use the wooden charm because i used the wrong wheel...it wouldn't fit through the orifice. could sew it in i suppose.
Holly Faerie is a OOAK beaded art doll. She is bal-jointed and has 13 points of articulation. She is made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & fiber fill, ahimsa silk thread, and Swarovski pearls. She is about 9 inches tall.

This is a gift I bought Sarah and this faerie's name is "Kaleiah", the faerie of vulnerability. She came with a quote on the name tag, "Risk is not fear, risk is freedom."
This is a dancer with Kan'nal, a great band that I saw at a recent festival in Veneta, and I will see them again soon-I am really excited about that.
Every year, on the first sunny day after the first rain of the season, a ritual occurs throughout the bay area...
We call it the Launch of the Faeries... it is actually subterranean termite alates, launching from their nests in countless thousands, overwhelming the predators and ensuring that some survive to proceed with the next generation.
This is the first, and last, time these creatures will ever see the sun. When they land somewhere, they turn and bite off their wings, then seek a place where they can crawl underneath something, and start digging down to build their "forever home".
I sometimes wonder what kind of mythology they have in their cultures, about that dangerous, one-time journey into the Big Light, the journey from which none return...
