Here is Ibis, the bird, and my two new feye prior to clothing and props. 

Well, in keeping with MB’s dream, I have found the most beautiful little laser-cut wooden snowflake to use as a base for a Winter Faerie. She will be wearing thigh-high white boots with red strips, and a peppermint candy necklace. She is slowly taking shape in my imagination, and it’s time to start creating her! I hope to have her mostly done this weekend.

An another note, I went to my local PC guild meeting last night. I will soon be taking over the Program duties for the guild, which means I will be finding someone to do a program or demo (or both) at our monthly meetings, or provide it myself. What fun! I’ll also be building us a website shortly, which will be another test of my graphic design skills. I’m happy with how this site turned out, so…

And I got to show off my latest faerie, which is a little sleeping Sprite. She stole a bunch of yarns, string, and a piece of silk from my studio when I carelessly left the window open last week! I must watch that. Seems quite a few pieces of trim have gone missing lately. Anyway, she built herself a little hammock. I’ll show pictures soon. 

My old friend Ibis showed up again last night. He is a partially finished bird sculpt. I started him a while ago, intending him to carry a feye on his back. But I gave up on him because his feathers did not turn out as I imagined. Thank goodness he didn’t give up on me. He whispered in my ear last night how to fix him, so I’ll be giving him the love he deserves and finishing him up nicely soon!

This morning one of the wonderful CSS coders that I work with announced that last night, she had a dream in which I had created two new tiny faeries- one reclining on an autumn colored leaf, with an acorn painted like a Jack-o-Lantern, and another on a snowflake, with leggings painted like candy-canes! Apparently, my muse is now visiting her dreams and she is a conduit to my new designs. How funny!

Ooh, I had a great weekend. Sitting in my studio, overlooking the lake, and sculpting two new little feye lovelies. One will be sleeping in a silk hammock.
