Some New Fairies

10/9/2019

A friend commented that my Fairy gathering photo reminded them of a painting by James Christensen.....his 'Fairy Court' ....

I thought 'Wow!  I wish I had that kind of setting', and then it occurred to me that he had included all kinds of sizes and shapes of fairies, including some really big ones. That gave me an idea!  I remembered that I still have some big fairy wings I made for fairy costumes for my granddaughters when they were little. One was light pink, and the other was a darker, more magenta pink....

I wondered how it would look to pin one on the back of one or more of my three larger ladies. My Hazy's costume was the best colour match. Asa's and Carina's didn't work with the wing colours.

Hazy is a hybrid, with an Elfdoll Hazy head on a Soom Super Gem body, and although she's a bit slimmer than the Iple ladies, they can all share the same clothes. I even considered changing one of the two Iple ladies into Hazy's gown so I could post photos on the Iplehouse sites, but in the end I decided to go with Hazy anyways.  She's so beautiful, and rarely ever gets out for photos., and the other two recently each had a turn. 

So Hazy was going to be the biggest Fairy in the new scenes. I did a couple of different photo sessions on two separate occasions, with as many as nineteen fairies (including five other new ones). But before posting any of those, I wanted to just introduce Hazy as a fairy on her own...

Hazy makes a beautiful fairy! It's not hard to imagine that you could create a scene with the same atmosphere as the Christensen painting.

She's absolutely beautiful! And I agree that fairies can be any size. My "fairy shelf" has all sizes because, after all, they're magical creatures.

Thanks! I had already been putting several sizes of fairies together, but never thought of using one of my bigger ladies.
