Totoro

Last day of summer break and I was stuck at home baby sitting. I needed a little magic and what should come to mind... TOTORO! My Neighbor Totoro is one of the cutest movies I have ever seen! And its creator Hayao Miyazaki has directed three out of my top ten favorite movies .
Since none of my friends could come over I made these two little guys to keep me company.

Ah summer... I don't live near a ocean, but I can pretend. *sigh* shells from JoAnn...
I made this necklace for my great friend, Aubryn. An hour before her birthday party I still hadn't made her a present so I whipped this together! Its simple, but I love it and so did she.

Charlotte's Shop

Welcome to Charlotte's Shop! Charlotte is my connection to the Fairy world/my alter-ego.

She makes delicate crowns for fairy royalty, jewlery, and many other enchanted things.

Charlotte is 32 and lives with her husband and three children. The shop is located under ground so curious animals don't snitch the shining crystals. Someday she would like to upgrade, get an internet device and sell her crafts on the online shop (Etsy).

Fairy Doll Swap

Last year (I know. I have a lot of catching up to do.) I had the privilege of participating in my aunt Missy's Luck of the Fae fairy swap. We were to make a fairy doll, a wand, and something sparkley. So here they are...

This is Airelise of Finwood. She loves to dance in the morning sun light, converse with the butterflies, and eats only cakes and dew.

This was a fun one. It's more of a fairy plant then a wand.

This one I had to think about... something sparkley... mirrors are shiny...dew covered spiderwebs...jewelry...combine all three and voila, a spiderweb pendant! I decorated the box and got the fairies ;) to write a descriptive scroll for it and Airelise.

I loved making them all. I miss my fairy but I also love the one I got back from Crow Haven Farm.

The Secret Garden

When I started this project I intended it to just be a book box, but then I realized what on earth would I ever use one for?

I thought since it was a gardening book it would be appropriate to put a garden in it.
So I brought it to life with some dried flowers, fern leaves, Poppy pods, a few feathers and a humming bird's nest.

Peacock Mask

I made this mask for the costume I wore to Jill's masquerade ball. It is molded to for my face out of plaster, except the beak of course that I added later. I painted it and added all real peacock feathers. It was lots of fun to make and looked awesome with my cape of tail feathers.

Imaginary Games

I made this for my best friend's birthday present. We have known each other for as long as I can remember. My sister, her, and I love to play imaginary games this is one of them that I illustrated. the girl in the middle is my friend she plays as an elf, the one with wings is my sister the rogue dragon elf, I am the ghost girl called a What. We played the game in the jungle gym during a lightning storm, using our imagination we trasformed it to the haunted tree where the What lives.
