A Tiny Fairy!


I've made a lot of butterfly bears that were pretty small, but here's one that will be even smaller! My plan for my gallery piece for TBAI this year includes some wonderful fairy bears. I've made some "tree houses" in the clay studio which include limbs for little fairies to sit upon! I plan to photograph the piece as it comes together so I hope you'll check back to see. I think I spend about 1,000 hours on these pieces - most of which is just dreaming about them - and do so enjoy the creation process. I'm dreaming of fairy wings for this little doll - wonder what color she'd like???

She is so adorable! You must be having such a great time dreaming these creatures into being. I'm smiling.

How wonderful that we can escape to fantasy world when ever we want to.

Well that has got to be the best part of the teddy bear world - it is whatever we make it! When I'm there, the problems of the world are at a great distance.
Thanks Kay and Sis!
Hugs to you both!!!
