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.
