Its been icy cold here, which inspired me to paint/ ink this little piece: Got to keep those blue lips warm with lots of tea and hot cocoa (with a peppermint stick to swirl minty the goodness in). Speaking of goodies, I was looking though my magazines and I got some good recipes for the …

Faerie Cottage and Yule Table
I have spent some time constructing a cottage for the little folk as a winter shelter. I placed the house on my yuletide inspiration table with seasonal hodgepodge~ candles, faerie lights, dried rosehips, and eveything I could find with a golden shimmer. Merry meet! Lighting the golden star candles, illuminating the cottage… I made a …
twisty tangly hair
Here’s some new art…. I’m working on some wintry themes as well. Icy hair, ~*~snowflakes~*~, chilly nights, crescent moons…Oh, and the faerie house- still taking pics. More posts soon…
downstairs in the faerie cottage….
Here’s just a little teaser picture of my faerie yuletide cottage- a small shelter for these snowy days. You are looking at a leaf table, a candlestick (stolen from my dollhouse), a milkpod dragonfly chair, and a whole shelf of sparkley goodies- beads, jars, charms and amulets. See the Mary Cicely Barker Painting hanging on …
Faerie Holly House
Today was our first snowfall of the year! I went walking around outside for a few hours, admiring all the snowy glimmer on the tree branches and leaves. Perfect timing, as I’ve been constructing a shelter for the little guys this winter! My faerie shelter is made of sticks, moss and dried holly leaves. The …

Here they are, hanging. Lately I’ve been exploring ideas on WHAT to do with all this colorful fiber goodness. Lots …

Art Doll
Hooray! My little winged doll is in Quilting Arts Magazine! It’s been so long, I had almost forgotten. It was a pleasant surprise. I created this gal for “The Guardian Angel Art Doll Challenge”. AND…she’s a faerie! I scanned part of the page here- Maybe one day I’ll create some more art dolls (in the …
Petal soaps and yuletide goodness!
Today I took a break from my art to make some fun faerie crafts and things. I was feeling very cozy and happy about the coming winter. I made rose petal and patchouli soaps, gathered holly and oak twigs for my Yuletide fae house (more about that later!), prepared a magical mixture to preserve the …
Tea inspired ~tiny art~
Tea is so yummy in the winter. And when you have the sniffles, it’s essential. So I have been brewing up teas in all kinds of flavors, painting, and curling up with great books (I’ll post more about those later) Oh, and I have been going to work everyday too. I was inspired to paint …
Silvery, Beautiful Birch Trees!
I have quite a sudden fascination with birch trees. Maybe because I recently read “Ogam, the Celtic Oracle of the Trees” and learned lots of enchanting tree lore. Birch trees are so pretty with their papery silver/ white bark. They usually grow at the forests edge, where they can soak up spots of the suns …
