I am The Faerie Keeper

catching, creating, and keeping

Air Faeries

Air is the element of all winged faeries, whose energies are subtle, quick and flowing. They are creatures of ambition and perfection, flying between worlds. All storms and winds are associated with air faeries, gentle breezes to monsoons. Their method of movement is graceful and almost effortless, launched forward by thought and emotion instead of the whirr of engines or the flapping of wings. Air faeries are in general an evolved faerie form, because they bring together aspects of all four basic elements. The wings are symbolic of air, their human or animal legs of earth, their shimmering, radiant quality is fire, and the fluid aspect of shape shifting is water




THE GATHERING




Saturday mornings are filled with talk of the week's events
and dreams of days ahead.




The littlest one of all, Olivia, recites dreamy poetry
while
The Faerie Keeper

gathered paints, brushes, glitter and glue in that back of the
peaceful cottage.




Visit Christy, a talented artist,
to see a beautiful portrait
she had to paint after visiting here.
She listened to her inner faerie.......the pink haired muse.
Bella, Christy!!!

HOW SHE BEGAN

Her head with what the factory considers a completed 'face up'

Then I sent her to Michele Hardy who does lovely face ups......
as I really didn't want to experiment on her.



But this one felt special to me and I thought it might be best to leave it to
an experienced artist.

Here she is with her face up done and eyes in place. No upper lashes added at this point


and here she is with a pink wig and her lashes done.
and by changing her eyes a bit



Two distinct personalities.

That is just part of the appeal of these ball jointed dolls.
~~~~~~~~
The tiny Obitsu (Olivia) was one thing. And, sure, she
came out quite well.......
I especially had great success with creating her wig
and will absolutely do another 27cm obitsu
