This plushie I made on commission, but the design is my own, based on this picture from my blog:

The eyes were a bit of a challenge as I haven't made them like this before, but I think they turned out ok.

I've added a bit of faerie fun to an ordinary mundane ball point pen--and no one will mistakenly walk away with it. They may walk away with it on purpose instead!
I covered a 5 1/2" (13,97 cm) medium point black ink Bic Clic Stic with one of my favorite faerie calendar pictures, saved for their beautiful art, and overlaid micro-beads to give it that special faerie sparkle. The twinkly pen charm was made using glass beads, seed beads, tube beads, crystal rondelle spacers, pewter kenyan beads, sterling silver rounds, sterling silver bali spacers, sterling silver heart head pins, sterling flat diamond chain, and a rubber o-ring. The pen charm is approximately 2-2 1/2" (5,08-6,35 cm).
a nightly stroll through the woods resulted in me feeling enchanted by the fireflies abound... (f2.8, 159sec)
This little arrangement was in a friend's home. I grabbed my camera, took the pic, and here it is. A couple of giclees of this sold.

If this video loads correctly then no explanation will be needed. However, faeries are notoriously bad with technology so we will see. This upload is late due to the intense struggle my computer and I have already had. But rest assured that I will not cease to pursue this venture until I am victorious and you are able to enjoy all 15 seconds of spectacular imagery. It might just change your life. I know it will mine. :)
