A Fairy Rainbow

7/6/2021

8 Comments

 
A while back I wanted to photograph alley little Kaye Wiggs girls as fairies, but I didn't have enough costumes their size.  I let one of the Mini girls borrow a KID fairy costume, which wasn't too bad if I overlapped the back and pinned it. But the tiny KW girls would not fit into a BID fairy costume, even if I overlapped the back.

So I decided to make three new fairy outfits so all the girls would have one that fit properly. I chose colours that were different from the ones I already had....mint, pink, and yellow....

The dresses came together rather quickly, but the wings took more effort. I spent the last three days adding all the glitter, and carefully varnishing over it, so it would be nice and secure, and would not keep leaving trails of glitter everywhere. Then the top and bottom sections needed to be attached together with velcro to snap onto the backs of the fairy bodices....

I love that title, Fairy Rainbow!

The girls look so sweet. My favorite of the new outfits is the pink and green one.

I am looking forward to reading about the next adventure of these lovely little fairies.

Well, they are posing as a 'rainbow'.

We'll see when they appear in photos again. I hope 'soon' but I do have lots of other dolls wanting attention.

These are wonderfully perfect additions to the beautiful palette you already had in place! So very sweet. :)

A lovely fairy rainbow!

If all your other flower fairies gathered with these little ones, you would have a beautiful flower garden!!

Yes, I would. One of these days I should dress some of my Iplekids in their fairy costumes and do a group shooting. I have 2 KID versions and four BID ones.
