From a walk with Soozy this afternoon...also from #Chicago...we don't have these back home. It seems a lot of woodland fairies lose their wings in these parts. ;-)
It was frosty and cold this morning and when the sun warmed the frost crystals it left all sorts of pretty things.
I think these little bright round things are faeries playing in the dew. Really what else would they be?
Based on several British folk takes, this purse will contain everything you need to keep the bad faeries away should you wander about in the mirk and midnight hour! A traditional druid purse is circular so when you flatten it, a magic circle is formed. Green is the color of the faerie fae and red is a protective color. The outside is a plaid to combine all the sacred colors. Should you ever get lost, simply turn the pouch inside out! The inside is a Celtic cross that also displays The Rune of Saint Patrick, also known as the Faedh Fiada from Ireland's most celebrated folk hero. If you cannot find the real items depicted, then the image should trick the bad folk well enough. You can find out more about these traditions in tales like "The Laird of Morphie & The Water Kelpie" (Rowan Cross) and "The Gold of Fairnilee" (Roman Tear Vial.) Make sure you break a piece from the bannock cake before giving it to a child! You can put salt into the lining of the purse, along with other sacred herbs like red verbena. For added jauntiness and protection, use the plaid border to sew strips along the border from which to hang bells like a Morris Dancer. Good luck!
This is the original file for both the kit and the coordinating plaid with the scanned proofs over them.
In a time where faeries still roamed the Earth, one man erected a trap to have a faerie of his very own. Unfortunately, this man had forgotten where he placed his trap, and the tightly bound rotted remains of the faerie are still present today.
This cute little fluffball is a woolly aphid. The waxy coating helps protect it from drying out, and may repel predators, too. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, May 24, 2025.
Seen at the Texas Renaissance Festival, held each October and November in the piney woods near Magnolia, Texas.
To be misled by faeries, whether by light or night, or a subtle changing of landmarks and features by day, is described as being PIXIE-LED.
In Ireland this 'mis-leading' is attributed to a faerie fuft of grass or stray sod which when trodden on triggers a spell. Under its influence, a usual experience when trying to cross a field is to discover that an exit which may have been clearly visible on entering, has suddenly disappeared; and no amount of systematic searching of the surrounding hedges will reveal its whereabouts. In other cases a walker might abruptly find himself heading in a totally different direction to the way he wishes to go and no amount of re-alignment of his course seems to put this right.

I tend to hate textures, but took a liking to this for whatever reason.

This is a orton. I didn't want the water to be blurred, I liked the stones. I also didn't want to save it and reopen so I could use the history, if I didn't save, I'd have removed the curves etc. So I used a 4th layer and was messing around with the rock wall and hit on linear burn...it gave it a fairy looking feel I think
