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. "

Fairy Magic

I don't know what range and what kind of magic Fairies can do, --yet. I need to research it. But I do know that some of them have magic wands, like Tinkerbell does. I do know that Fairies have affiliations with plants, trees and forests. Below is a painting I have done of a Fairy. She is called The Yellow Fairy.

I must admit I became a bit overwhelmed when I started researching the lore of Fairies. There are LOTS of them! I mean, lots of kinds and all over the world! And not all of them are good. ew..... But, then- Fairies have a common thread throughout the world. Tiny mystical people-like beings that are often invisible and usually with insect wings.

I read about Sprites, too. They are a kind of Fairy. The Flame Sprites help the leaves turn brilliant colors in the fall.

There are Fairies that live in trees. They love Oak Trees, too.

I need to spend some more time researching and I need to get my hands on the Findhorn book. It has been many years since I read it and I am sure it will be a great source.

Thank you for reading! Please feel free to leave a comment.

Fairies Made Visible

OK, so you can already see fairies. For others that can't... yet... I paint them so they can be seen.

Fairies have a long tradition in Ireland and probably many other places, too. Take a journey of discovery with me and we shall look into the lore of the fairies.

I read the Findhorn book and it opened my eyes. In the book it was described growing a fantastic garden where nothing had grown before. One of the methods was to employ the assistance of fairies.

I have tried this out and today I use this method in my fantastic gardens. Fairies are attracted by little mirrors and shiny things in the garden. I hang up crystals and suncatchers.

Where can you see more fairies? At my fairy shop, of course. No, I am not selling little slaves. These are willing fairies and they are only images!
