Do you believe in Fairies?...how could I have forgotten

There have been talks about some who do not believe in the Faerie Folk and other little ones that share our world. That's fine if you don't. But I certainly believe in them. The little glimmers of light that touch my eyes now and again assure me that they are indeed here. The magic is definitely strong. If you are open to them.

When we are children, we see this world with such clarity and feel the magic like a soft breeze on the cheek. As we grow older, our daily lives tend to take us further away from the magic. Leaving some to reside in a cold
shell of a body that has lost the childlike magic. The loss in the beliefs of Fairies, Sprites, Elves and the like are shorted out and never to be seen or thought of again. I am grateful for the reminders myself.

These playful, some ti
mes mischievous little cutiepatooties have been around for ever. I see them in gardens and sometimes when walking along the Marina they are playing in the tall grass. They remind me of the sweet things in life and why I need to keep my heart open. I also create them and have passed them on to the good homes of those who still believe in them.


Captured Fairies

These tiny beauties were captured unharmed, and sent off to the loving homes of those who would cherish them. Had a heck of a time trying to capture them too.
Hand beaded. They stand about 3"
Created in 2007


Wish Fairy

These were made for two swaps done over the holidays....12 Days of Christmas, and 12 Days of Festivus. Each fairy was handmade and personalised for the individual intended. About 3-4" tall.
Created in 2008
