Leilana, soft and feminine...

I have been away from the blog for a while- happy to be back in the swing of things. I am getting ready for a class I will be teaching in Alaska in less than a month!! So much to prepare for.

In the meantime, I wanted to share my latest work with you. This is Leilana- a very soft and feminine reclining nude. You can see her on my ebay page if you want to see more images.

Have a wonderful weekend-

Lyla --Serenity and Peace--

This is Lyla- loved creating this fairy. I think she instills such a feeling of peace and tranquility when you look at her. The base is a round ball, like they have for putting in bowls as decoration, and then a wood block that I overlayed with gold foil. All the colors came together so nicely!

Hope you enjoy seeing her.

Amber's Dance

I had this piece listed last week and didn't get back to my blog to update, but thought I would add her photos now anyway. This piece was started months ago- and finally finished in late March. With all the cloudy days, I was fortunate the day I snapped these photos- as the appearance of fire is what I was after. Late afternoon sun streaming into the screen porch offered me the lighting I was hoping for. Very dynamic, isn't it!

Gosh, I love my job.

Amber is sold and already in the collection of a very faithful Patron.

I'm going to pretend it's Spring, anyway!

This is Gwyneth, my second Flower Fairy. I had a lot of fun experimenting with her dress- handpainting on silk with alcohol inks! Then to get the watercolor effects-- all very interesting. The weather is still dreary and cold- windy here so perhaps tomorrow I will have better luck getting good shots of her. These were taken indoors by a window- overcast day. Now great for capturing color, I'm afraid!

Ok, I give up. It's still snowing--and look at who...

I found in the snow! This tiny angel is sitting in a snow angel left behind after a weekend of playful fun in the yard. The look of pure joy on her face is just impossible to resist! You'll look at her and smile, I promise!

I named her Serendipity. A chance discovery- an unexpected surprise. That says it all!

Gosh, I love my "job"!!

If you could call it a 'job'! What fun! Please meet Naja, a tiny forest pixie. She's shy, but once she knows she can trust you, she slips her hood back to reveal the most brilliant blue eyes! In fact, her name, Naja, means brilliant eyes... How cute is she!!
Have a great week- it's still freezing here- tomorrow it's suppose to be about 15 below! Did anyone say, "Spring"? Good grief...

After a week away...

There was much going on on ebay this past week. Ebay is making some major changes to their policies and many people are in an uproar over it. There was a week long boycott last week and I am grateful its over. Well, some folks are continuing with it- but I don't see the logic in that. After all, ebay will be able to do as it wishes- and we are there as players.
At any rate, I spent the week creating Daigon, an Avairy fairy! She is adorned in brilliant feathers and rich fabrics of blue and purple. Loved doing her- trying some different techniques in the process. Hope everyone is safe and warm! Still pretty cold here. Hoping for spring!

A Pin Up style fairy- to tempt you! ;)

This is Hayden Elyse- a Pin Up style fae. I was pretty pleased with her, I think her body is among the best I've done to date. With each piece, we try to improve and it is an ongoing process. You can see more photos of Hayden by clicking on the small thumbnail photo off to the left...

"Flower Fairies" Kaela, 1ST in a Series for 2008

Who could resist the innocent little face? I couldn't. Meet Kaela, the first Flower Fairy of 2008. What fun it is to create these whimsical little beings. Her garment is made from silk petals, (of course!) and her little undergarment is reminiscent of the bubble suits of the 1950's. I am dating myself now, that's for sure!
I hope you can take a peek at her on eBay, the link is off to the left. Still blistering cold here- coldest winter I remember in a long time. Farmer's Almanac predicted colder and more snow than usual for this winter- boy were they right! Have a good week-
Deb

Wild Fairy--

This week I bring to you, Qitarah, wild and free-a Feral Fairy. It was fun to try something entirely different this time- and she is. Her skin is tanned and she is speckled with hundreds of freckles. Her piercing green eyes seem to look right through you. Beware- she could be lethal!

While these photos don't depict it- the weather here is still so darn cold, it's nearly impossible to be outdoors for any length of time. Especially with bare hands, trying to focus and hold a camera steady! I'll sure be glad when this terrible cold weather breaks. It's been about 20 below at night. ENOUGH ALREADY! WE GIVE!!!!!

We're knee deep in snow...

...and these mischievous little imps are EVERYWHERE. Snow Pixies love to frolic in the snow-they make icy spots on the sidewalks so you have to be careful! You can hear them giggling when someone falls down. NOT very nice. Oh well, they migrate north when our weather warms up. Poor Canadians! ;)
Deb

We're ba-a-a-a-k!

Hello! Well, it's a new year and I already feel like I've accomplished a great deal! I finally got my website all updated- it was March when I did it last. No excuses- just didn't take the time to finish it. It went well this time, no problems so maybe I won't be so intimated next time. That's why blogging is so much easier! :)

I have a new listing starting this evening on ebay- the first for 2008. I am really proud of her. Sharia is her name.

I hope you like her! She wears tiny gold leaves temporarily over her breasts since ebay frowns on showing bare breasts. Here is a photo of her without those leaves....

I am also making progress on my commission list. I will write more about that later...

Hugs, Deb
