Little Elf Wall Hanging

I just posted this little Elf Sculpture wall hanging over at my Aunt Jane Etsy Shop. I almost put it in my Fairy shop, but sometimes it's a tough call. Is that true for other Etsians that have more than one shop and items can "overlap" as to where to put them?

Well, business has been awfully slow. So I have just been carrying on making things. It is fun. If you would like to visit my Aunt Jane shop, please click on this link:

Digital Art Fairies

I created these fairy images by a variety of means. I drew and painted in real life. I also drew and painted in virtual life. Most importantly to me, is I grew the Tomatoes myself, as well as the Basil.

Along the way, I got to know the spirits of the plants as I was growing with them. And the surrounding Earth Spirits and Fairies. I took photographs of the Tomato plants and fruits. And the beautiful Basil. I also ate them, taking in their essences, nutrients and life force. I took the photos and created these images.

Fairy Hair Ornaments!

Skybluedesigns2 shop at Etsy has fabulous hair ornaments. Below is the Beautiful Antiqued Silver Plate Victorian Fairy Hair Barrette. To die for! Skybluedesigns2 says about this work of art: "I created this barrette using antiqued silver plated pieces with Victorian inspired design ."

The next one is: Beautiful OOAK Antiqued Silver Victorian Fairy Small Hair Barrette. Skybluedesigns2 says: "I created this one of a kind small barrette using antiqued silver plated pieces."

Skybluedesigns2's shop announcement:

"I create hair clips in all different sizes and designs. Almost all of my barrettes are one of a kind designs. I love anything Victorian so many of my barrettes reflect that influence. I also create mythological and fantasy type barrettes. I've been known to create some Goth and biker themed barrettes as well. I use brass, copper and silver plated materials in all of my designs. It is not uncommon to find pewter, cameos, glass stones or crystal pieces as well. "

***********************************************************************

I am in awe of these beautiful creations and of the craftmanship. One would think that these great works of art would be expensive, wouldn't one? Not so!

Fairy Wands From HouseOfMouse!!!

FAIRY WAND - Ninth and Jasper Collection

houseofmouse shop on Etsy has an unusual collections of unique and very original items. Here is a Fairy wand. There are also Fairy tamborines- (Stevie needs one) and Fairy garland crowns.





















From Description of: Fairy Wand- Ninth and Jasper Collection

"INSPIRATION: Photo from my “Drive By Shooting” series. This photo is of a metal sculpture of cathedral organ pipes at the corner of 109th Street and Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta. Both the sculpture and the background building harmonize together in a range of subtle greys, greens and blues. The sculpture appears to be spotlighted by the sun and becomes dancingly fluid under its touch."
