| Peppermint Fairy Wings |
[10 Nov 2009|04:51pm] |
New for the holiday season, Peppermint Fairy Wings!! Perfect for those holiday photo opportunities, these wings are fashioned to resemble Starlight Peppermint Candies in a delightful spiral of color of cherry red and snow white! For an additional amount of sparkle, the body of the wings has been fairy dusted with silv...er for that extra eye-catching bling! Finishing off the design is antennae in a charming peppermint twist!

I recently worked with a talented photographer, Julie Sowers of Short Stories Photography, on an autumn fairy set. The wings were provided by me, and she did the costumes and setting!
Several others under the cut! ( Here! )

What started out as a trial run for a new airbrush technique for a larger set of peacock wings (coming soon), turned into this beautiful set of smaller peacock fairy wings! These are now listed in my Etsy store.

My newest addition to my Etsy store!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29325296
100% of my designated pink sales go to support one of my best friends, Andrea Dodds, as she participates in the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This event is an amazing 60-mile journey that helps mothers, sisters, spouses, and friends get one step closer to a world without breast cancer. I recently lost my beloved Nana to breast cancer, so this event is very near and dear to my heart.

| Moxie's Fairy Wings |
[09 Aug 2009|11:28pm] |
A good friend of ours will be portraying Cobweb from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at a renaissance faire, so I made these wings for her. The beading between the first and second sets of petals is meant to look like dewdrops on a spider's web.

| 3 Wishes Faery Festival |
[04 Jul 2009|08:02am] |
I recently had the pleasure of having my wings participate in a Faery Fashion Show at the 3 Wishes Faery Festival in Cornwall, UK. They were worn by Ben Gray (fabulous pink boy) and the beautiful artist, Linda Ravenscroft!
I couldn't be there, so this photo was graciously provided by Myrea Petit, the fabulous artist and owner of Fairies World

| We’re Moving to Texas!! |
[29 May 2009|11:10am] |
Yes, that’s right! We’ve made the decision to move our studio from California to Texas during the month of June, so all fairy production will halt during that time. Production will begin again on July 1 once the fairies have had a chance to scope out the new place and find where we’re hiding the cookies.
During our “down time,” please feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions. There will be roughly a week or so where I may not have computer access, but I will get back to you as quickly as I can once we have connectivity again. Goodness knows I’ll be jonesing for an internet fix after going several days without!
This move means a TON of exciting things for us!! Mainly, I will be creating full time again (doing a little happy hamster dance!)
But, you may ask yourself, what else is on the horizon? Good question!! Some things you can expect sometime after July:
• I’m toying with the idea of bringing back my smaller designs for children
• We’ll be working toward vending at events such as Faerieworlds, FaerieCon, Spoutwood, as well as more local venues
• The creation of bridal packages
• A special, new design for Halloween named after our good friend, Moxie (everyone wave to Moxie!!)
• Customers will be able to purchase ready-made fairy wings from my Etsy store
• More Etsy listings benefiting breast cancer research!
Stay tuned for these and many more exciting events!
Everyone wave to Moxie again!

One of the things that I love so much about my art is that it affords me the opportunity to work with some truly amazing people, all of whom are terrifically talented. One such recent experience resulted in these photos. The ladies in these photos made their own costumes….I simply provided the wings.

| Please help: Something / Someone Very Near and Dear to My Heart |
[19 Mar 2009|01:14pm] |
I have an extraordinary friend….her name is eve (yes, that’s a lower case “e”)….but there are those of us who know her by another name: Fairy Nana. This beautiful lady makes some of the most exquisite fairy costumes I have ever had the pleasure to see which should be enough to set her apart from other designers, but there’s something else: she’s nearly blind. My loving friend suffers from both lupus and MS, and even though she is in pain most of the time, she pours so much of herself into each of her costumes.
As if all that weren’t enough, she also has the biggest heart of any person I know. This year, she set a goal for herself to make 50 fairy costumes to donate to the children’s hospital near Lacey, WA….and she did it. She is such an inspiration to me, and obviously to the good people at the KING5 television station. eve’s story ran last night on their Evening Magazine. You can see her touching story (and that of the children whose lives she brightens), in her own words, here:
http://www.king5.com/video/eveningmagazine-index.html?nvid=343397&shu=1
Now, what can you do to help? It is eve’s goal to bring her message of helping children in need to a larger stage. If you would, please, take a moment to drop a line to the Oprah show (https://www.oprah.com/ord/plugform.jsp?plugId=216) as this is one of eve’s ultimate goals. The more voices we have singing the same chorus, the more loudly eve will be heard!
Due to her health issues, eve’s time is running out, and I want to do everything I can to help her reach for the stars! Please help me to spread her story and inspiration!

| Wings for Bobbie Hinman |
[26 Feb 2009|05:29pm] |
Hi all!
Just another quick update on the wings I recently made for author, Bobbie Hinman. These are basically the same design as my Curly Pinks, but she asked for an extra panel to be added for some height.

Just a quick hit with a pair of wings that I made for a friend! Stripes (particularly striped socks) make us both happy!

[23 Nov 2008|01:24pm] |
I completely forgot to post these when I got them! These are from when we attended the Northern California Renaissance Faire at the beginning of October.
The bodice is one of Moresca's (http://www.moresca.com/ ....unfortunately, their site is under construction at this time).
( Another under the cut )
Oddly enough, these are the only photos of me since I've been pregnant that don't make me feel like a land yacht! LOL
