Fairies Everywhere

6/24/2014

Today is 'International Fairy Day', created by Jessica Gailbraith for "believers, collectors, and the young at heart, to celebrate all that is Fae, and reconnect with their imagination and child-like wonder". 

So what could be more appropriate than more photos of my lovely little flower fairy, Elin?

Taking flower fairy photos is so much fun! Everything in my garden is way too big for contemporary little dolls, but with fairies scale goes right out the window. Everything works! From the biggest flowers, to the smallest, they all work with fairies. 

I'm tempted to get out my Cecily M Barker Flower Fairy books and make several more of the little fairy costumes. But, I need to keep the remaining butterflies for a mobile project, so would have to make all the fairy wings from scratch, and I have several other time-sensitive projects on the go at the moment, so really can't spare the time for more fairies. At least not yet.

All the photos are a delight and you are right, everything works well with fairies. I love your fairy photos and wish you have more time to make more fairy costumes. OK I know you'll do it in the future.

I'd love to spend a couple of months making fairy costumes, and then Medieval and Renaissance costumes, especially for the JIDs, Slim Minis, KIDs and BIDs. After I finish the last few commissions, I'll finally be free to make what I want, but then it will be fall already. So flower fairies may have to wait until next spring.

Me too! There's a lot more photos, so I think I'll put them all together into an album - as soon as I finish processing the last ones.
