Had to shelter from the rain under the Faerie Viaduct on the River Aire in West Yorkshire so had limited views.

A little background... the reason why my name is on there...
Shealyn is originated from Seaghdha, and also is a variant of Shea (which by itself means hawk-like), Shealyn means "faerie palace." And even further... my middle name (Kay) is short for Catherine, which it's Irish origin means "keeper of the keys." My last name (McGee) is actually Irish-Scottish (more Irish though, at least in my family), which is the anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Aodha ‘'son of Aodh'’ (pronounced "ae-eh," who is the God of Fire).
One of my Faerie Portraits. Cassie is sitting in the crook of a tree, in the moss, letting faerie dust fall from her hands and wings.
My very talented friend Lois Oster of Wolfsong Designs made these lampwork beads just for me, just for this necklace! She said they were a happy experiment, and I agree, they turned out beautifully.
The necklace is strung on silver beading chain, and in addition to the lampwork, it features Czech glass, Bali-style bead caps, Swarovski crystals in Carribean Blue Opal and Peridot, and Thai silver flower drops.
Created with thoughts of faeries dancing in my head by me, AJ Reardon, of Erthe Fae Designs. For more about me and my jewelry, please visit my blog:
That epic year of mushrooms began with us spotting this faerie ring of mushrooms on one of the main roads going through my town.

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. There is a lot of interesting lore about the holly plant, I posted a little about that on my website, if anyone wants to read it, here is the link: faeriedustdolls.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/holly-faerie/
Irish Folklore extends much farther than leprechauns and faeries, of course, as a land full of a rich pagan history. We were told the story of the Salmon of Wisdom, and some guy who spent his whole life trying to catch it. He did, once, only to look into its eyes and be put to sleep. The story went that the first person to cach, cook, and tast the salmon, they'd be the strongest, wisest, and best warrior in Ireland. He eventually had to get an apprentice, as he was getting on in age. Eventually, they found the fish, and it darted around their boat so fast they found themselves in an inexplicable whirlpool. They were able to net the fish, and the man again looked into its eyes, falling asleep. His apprentice, however, thought quickly and wrapped the fish in a shroud. They got home, and the man awoke to a bowl of chicken soup. The apprentice outside was cooking the fish, and he noticed the skin blister. He popped the blister with a finger, which spurted hot oil on his finger, which he instinctively stuck in his mouth. The master got up, saw the salmon, and rejoiced. Then, he ate of it. Then, he waited.. for a day or so. He didn't notice any change, so he went to the apprentice, noticing his strength and radiating whatnot, asked him if he had, in fact, eaten of the fish before him. The apprentice denied it, until he was asked if he had even tasted of the fish. Then, he realized his error, having stuck his finger in his mouth, he had tasted it. The master thought, and relented, it was better that the apprentice had gotten the first taste, as the master was now an old man and had not long to utilize the powers the fish would give. Shortly thereafter, he died. Blah.
