-One of my absolutely favorite pieces, this Mermaid inspired pendant turned out GORGEOUS! It features polymer clay accents baked onto a genuine spiral shell slice and colored with pearl pigments. A variety of freshwater pearl beads and iridescent glass bubble gems, with an Angel Aura quartz point at the bottom center, and connected to metal seaweed detail pieces. <br />(I took this piece with me to Florida during a family trip and almost lost it to the ocean while I was trying to photograph it in the sand when a wave nearly swept it away! Thankfully, my niece was standing next to me and quickly grabbed it before the water took off with it. I was nearly in tears over that!!)<br />(SOLD!)<br />

-This one may have been my first Mermaid inspired creation. It's made up of a medium sized spiral seashell with a purple/brown cowrie shell and a rainbow moonstone cabochon, plus a variety of genuine freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, and iridescent glass bubble gems, accented with handsculpted polymer clay details.</div>

Back around Oct/Nov of 2016, I was inspired by a fellow artist's creations on Instagram (will insert name once I get it looked up again), to create my own vessel pendants. Entirely different styles and themes, but same idea. :) <br />
-Each pendant is handsculpted polymer clay baked onto a small hand-blown glass bottle and then painted with acrylics.<br />

I believe I started making these either in Sept or Oct of 2016...can't recall which month exactly right now. Where I was living at the time had an abundance of evergreen trees and various herbs growing wild on the property. Autumn usually makes me feel most Witchy, so I started gathering herbs and drying them and then realized I didn't have anywhere to really store them. Being a Virgo/Libra, and just an artistic person in general, I didn't want to just store them in regular jars...no, I wanted something magical feeling to store my herbs in! :) So, I decided to recycle and repurpose a lot of the glass jars we had around the house and dress them up with some polymer clay, pearl pigments, and acrylic paints. And I love how beautifully they turned out, too!! :D</div>

So, going to try to keep this in some sort of chronological order, if possible... and I my group like-items together just to save on time and too many similiar posts...<br />
<br />
<br />
Here was my first Faery Lantern commission of 2017, in December. I really liked this one, it turned out beautifully! As always, the foxglove blossoms are a pain to sculpt, but very very much worth it in the end. :D <br />

-I have to say that, so far, this is my MOST detailed and complicated Faery Lantern design to date. I included a Faery Door built into the tree wrapping around the side of the lantern, complete with winding stone steps leading up to it. Large metallic mushrooms hugging the opposite side of the lantern, and at the top, a hollow tree-house tower with a roof and a window made of translucent clay - which actually glows when the LED candles inside are turned on. :D<br />This piece took soooo much time and soo much effort!</div>

-I included a number of genuine quartz crystals and Swarovski crystals, along with iridescent glass bubble gems, in this design. A decorative metal door hinge and a small metal key hanging from the door's leaf-handle. I adore the extra touch of the crystals, personally. And that door, such a nice little surprise when you turn the lantern to the side a little. :D</div>

-Got a shot of the backside here, which I also like to add a little decoration to from time to time, the tree's branch and root wrapping around the back here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a night-lit shot - you may not be able to see too well in this shot, but the fairy silhouette has a fairy sitting on a tree-branch which stretching out on the inside from the tree. I like to imagine that inside her home she's got a jumble of tree roots which are fashioned into furniture and here she's just sitting on one of the many roots, perhaps in front of a fire, staying warm. :)</div>

-I love the almost metallic look to the rose petals. I applied some gorgeous deep red pearl pigment over black clay and once I applied the clear gloss varnish, the color really came out!! And both the petals and leaves are spotted with tiny faceted crystals and there are small iridescent glass bubble gems on the petals and leaves to simulate dew drops. :)</div>

I wish I'd gotten a better shot of the lit silhouette in the dim lighting, but my camera really has a problem with low-lighting, even outside, where I like best to do my photography. Shortly after this lantern was listed to my Shop, it sold to a gentleman buying it for his wife for Valentine's Day. How sweet!!! :D</div>

Each of these lanterns is entirely handsculpted from clay and attached to a glass lantern. These pieces are not intended for use or decoration outside as they are fragile, but I do hope to eventually offer a line of lanterns which are capable of being outside for long periods of time, perhaps in a garden. They are each entirely One of a Kind and Unique. </div>

This design has been on my mind for a bit of time now. Glad to finally get it out. <br />It's not 'quite' as I'd designed it, but still really good. :) <br />This is my first ever octopus sculpt and I'm pretty happy with it. Though, this is a bit of a Cthulhu/octopus look vs a realistic octopus. But I'm cool with that. :D<br />

I LOVE how beautifully the blue weathered water-rust patina turned out on this. I feel like it really provides that needed break-up of the monochromatic bronze tone. <br />Though, in my original design, I was going to do the rust patina over the 'whole' piece. That might still have looked cool, but I don't think it would have had the same impact that using it sparingly might have.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm just about to add this one to my Etsy shop. Kinda hate to part with it, but sadly, I don't see myself wearing it much, if at all. Only because I don't really have anywhere cool to wear it to. At least, not right now, anyway.</div>

I 'really' like this set-up, it feels a lot more fitting for the style and theme of these planchettes. The brown satin of the backdrop and the black velvet of the display, gorgeous. Like chocolate, lol! :D<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, this weekend I took a little break from the macabre with my Victorian planchettes, when I found myself inspired to make these new medieval-themed necklace pendants. I was listening to some beautiful instrumental music while browsing Pinterest and suddenly, I had to do this. :D</div>
<br />
I'm really loving these and honestly don't want to get rid of them, lol! I just keep telling myself that I can always make myself another one later on if I still really want it. :D<br />
<br />
Each of these is currently available for sale in my Etsy shop: <br />

Each of these pendants is handcrafted from polymer clay. They each feature various iridescent glass bubble-like beads. The Seahorse and Unicorn pendants are decorated with genuine freshwater pearls.<br />

I'm in LOVE with the angle of this shot, turned out Beautifully!!! I used a metal tree-branch connector for the top of this pendant and really like the effect. I've always used them in a set of 2 but using just the one, has a really impactful effect. :D<br />

This Red Unicorn pendant turned out soo beautifully! I think I was channeling the medieval Unicorn Tapestries when I was creating this one. :D I feel like the red of the unicorn really POPS against the golden teal of the background. :)<br />

If you like mermaids, this one is definitely up your alley. :) I've been itching to include some of my freshwater pearls in a piece and this was the perfect opportunity. The background of this piece was supposed to be a pearly white, but somehow turned out looking a bit more 'Mother of Pearl', but I really really like the effect. :)<br />

Now this one isn't offered in my Etsy shop. This one is just for me. It's a small piece on a very thin and delicate silver chain. I'd been thinking about creating something like this for myself for a few days before I finally sat and just did it. I was originally just planning to create the crescent moon, but I had this Goddess charm sitting around and it was a perfect match. :D <br />

For Halloween I was recently inspired to create handcrafted Ouija planchettes from polymer clay. Being that Spirit boards, communication with spirits, divination, and the paranormal were "all the rage" during the early 1900's, I really wanted to embrace the Victorian-Goth/Steampunk style with my planchette necklaces. <br />
<br />
Each of these planchettes is currently available for sale through my Etsy shop:<br />

With this one I wanted a add a little more 'pizzazz'. So I included a genuine amethyst crystal point and a pelvis - cause it's cool. :D</div>
Really happy with it! :D<br />

And, with this one, I wanted to go a little different...a bit more light-hearted. This one is Forest-Witch themed:<br />

These polymer clay Fairy Doors have proven to be quite addictive. I'm loving making them and each one is so beautiful and colorful. :)<br />
<br />
I ended up making a rather large one for myself...it's actually big enough to be it's own Fairy Door, but I'm still loving it as a necklace. :)<br />

Roughly two weeks ago now I sat down at my clay table and started making these really magical mini-Fairy Door pendants. <br />

-I've seen all manner of Fairy Doors to decorate your home or your child's bedroom with, or even your garden. But I thought it would be really wonderful if you could 'wear' the magic of a Fairy Door with you everywhere you go! <br /><br />I'm the kind of artist who doesn't tend to make something she herself wouldn't want to buy or wear. So everything you see me make is something I actually want for myself. <br />Lol, my Greenman Mushrooms and Fairy Frogs have been self-claimed for my home, if that tells you anything. :D<br /><br />Now, as I've stated in a recent post, I have a Patreon acct. I've been posting my work-in-progress photos and even a tutorial there. So, if you want to see my work-in-progress shots and read me talking about my process or whatever, if you like seeing behind the scenes shots which periodically show my work-space and so forthe, and if you'd like to be privvy to any discount codes to my Etsy shop, I suggest you check out my Patreon and Follow me there. :) <br />

I am now on Patreon! I will be posting most of my work on Patreon from now on. This includes, my blogging...which is pretty much me musing out-loud about ideas and thoughts and that sort of thing... photos of my work-in-progress...stuff I'm working on, shots as I go.... any 'behind the scenes' kind of stuff, lots of up-close 'detail' pics of my art which you may not see anywhere else, and future videos I hope to soon be making of my art and progress. As well as, the periodic sale codes for my Etsy shop, which only my Patreon Supporters will be able to access.<br />
<br />
Here's the deal... I've got a page set up on Facebook, but with Facebook's algorithms, even though I am closing in on 700 Followers, hardly anyone is seeing my posts. Which is EXTREMELY disappointing and upsetting to me, of course, and hopefully to those who have chosen to follow my art, too.<br />
<br />
With Patreon you are able to see each and every post I make and if you decide to become a Patron of my art, which enables you to help support me in making more and better art content, then you are privvy to the above-mentioned 'work-in-progress' posts, which also includes up-coming tutorials, too. These are the Rewards a Patron would receive in helping to support my art...access to "behind the scenes" stuff! :D<br />
<br />
You can donate anywhere from $1 a month to $10, or more. It's entirely up to you, the Patron, and you can stop and cancel whenever you want with no problems or guilt. However much you can afford is greatly appreciated. :)<br />
<br />
You don't 'have' to pay to see my art, of course...I post it on my Facebook and Instagram and periodically even to my Pinterest and Deviantart. BUT, the 'behind the scenes' content will be staying solely on Patreon very soon. I'm working on getting everything switched over as I go. And all the bonus Rewards stuff will 'only' be accessible to my Patreon Supporters. So there are all sorts of benefits to Following my art on Patreon vs anywhere else.<br />
Plus, if you have questions or want to comment, you can do it right on the post and I'll be able to answer you back quickly. :D<br />
<br />
Feel free to drop in and say Hi! on Patreon, and whether you choose to become a Supporter or not, you are always welcome to hang out and see what I'm posting to the public, too! :)<br />

My next logical step up from mushrooms was....Greenman Mushrooms!!!<br />
<br />
Each one was handsculpted using Sculpey's Original polymer clay in white and then carefully painted by hand with acrylic paints.<br />
<br />
My first one was small and grumpy looking, but really cute and I was soo proud of him!!<br />

The next one was larger and MUCH grander, in my opinion...I immediately fell in love with this one. I spent HOURS just painting him. I was trying a watercolor effect technique, which involves lots of layering of watered down acrylic paint. But well worth it!<br />

*She is covered in a multitude of leaves and flowers from butterfly bush spikes, in a variety of colors ...which have attracted a couple of blue butterflies, to a mane of pink and apricot colored rose petals around her face. <br /><br />I admit to having had a hard time capturing a feminine look to her face after having done the earlier grumpy old-men looking Greenmen...but I think I finally was able to capture the feminine essence in her face. :)<br /><br />Her mushroom cap, much like the earlier Autumn Greenman Mushroom, is imprinted with knotwork designs and carefully painted in a gradient from light to dark.<br /><br />My smallest Greenman Mushroom is currently available for purchase in my Etsy shop:<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MidsummersNightMasq" target="_blank">www.etsy.com/shop/MidsummersNightMasq</a></div>

Prior to creating my Faery Lanterns, I had decided to pick up some Sculpey polymer clay my fiancee had left laying around the house and play with it myself. I had been seeing these adorable garden mushrooms all over the place and figured that since I couldn't afford to buy any myself, maybe I'd try making my own.<br />
<br />
My first little mushroom really wasn't all that great...but I got better with each one:<br />

And there were more, of course, but this gives you a good idea. I came to call these my 'Whimsical Garden Mushrooms'. I made over 20 in a spam of roughly a week...and it actually took me longer to paint these things than to sculpt them! </div>
Turns out, I have a natural talent for sculpting...pretty cool!!!<br />
<br />
I've been selling my handsculpted, polymer clay, garden mushrooms in my etsy:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've kinda paused on making those as I keep coming up with new stuff I want to sculpt, but these are fun, so I'm sure I'll be coming back to them before too long. :)</div>

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy. Always creating!!<br />
<br />
With the recent new Fairy Jars I was struck with inspiration. I took that idea and added my own twist to it. Faery Lanterns! My Faery Lanterns are decorated with handsculpted polymer clay accents. A friend recently commented that in adding these additional clay details, I've created a scene in which the Fairy lives, and not just a jar for her to be captured in. <br />
-This was really neat as I wasn't conscious of this effect 'till she had pointed it out. <br />
<br />
I had the idea shortly after watching a YouTube video of Pixie Hill's Fairy Jars and then later a polymer clay video which used these lovely little lantern jars. Inspiration just about knocked me out of my chair!! <br />
-I immediately set to scribbling down notes full of ideas for my own Faery Lanterns and I was thrilled once I had all of my supplies in hand and was ready to start on my first one. And they have each turned out beautifully!<br />
<br />
My very first one:<br />

Each of these lanterns have since sold, but I am currently working on 2 more Faery Lantern commissions and have an idea for a 3rd, soon after.</div>
<br />
These are absolutely adorable and make for fantastic night-lights in children's bedrooms, or even as a cute and whimsical touch to a home. :)<br />

Hi everyone!<br />
<br />
I've been working on a new project for St. Patrick's Day.<br />
In combination with my Tooth Fairy bags, I now also have Leprechaun pots of gold for kids.<br />

<br />
<br />
I made all new Leprechaun themed designs for my handmade coins. I've got a small selection ranging from a Leprechaun's face, a shamrock with celtic knotwork decorating it, a pot of gold coins, mushrooms with a pot of gold, a pot of gold with a rainbow coming out of it, a leprechaun's hat with a shamrock on it, and 3 different knotwork designs. <br />
-Each coin is hand pressed into molds I created. Once the clay coins have cured, they are painted gold and then tarnished with a blackened finish for an aged appearance. Afterward they are each dusted with pearlescent green pigment and gold glitter before being sealed with a glossy varnish.<br />

-Each letter is cut to size, then I carefully burn the edges and then gild them for a beautiful metallic gold shimmer. I add gold designs and a shamrock stamp to the business side of the letter. There's a large gold stamp on the backside of a pot of gold. Each letter is written by my hand using a calligraphy pen I made which is dipped in black ink as I write. Then rolled up into a scroll and tied with a green ribbon. </div>

Each pot of gold comes with 3 gold Leprechaun coins, a handwritten letter from Shamus the Leprechaun, and a small corked bottle of gold dust (glitter) with an attached leprechaun charm. These items are neatly packed up in a small white organza drawstring bag and tucked nicely into the pot and together these are then wrapped up in a larger green organza drawstring bag with a note to mom and dad from me.</div>

These little pots of gold could be hidden in your child's sock drawer, behind their favorite box of cereal, or even inside their shoe (Leprechauns are well-known as shoe makers, after all!). Make a nice little surprise for your child to find on St. Patrick's Day. :D</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>"The Luna Moth Fairy Pendant"</b></span><br />-I created this gorgeous large statement-piece necklace pendant right before Christmas. It's a One of a Kind, handmade item. I made the wings from a combination of transparent liquid polymer clay, pearlescent pigments and glitters, and a high-quality iridescent film, accented with AB crystal rhinestones. The metal jewelry pieces are hand painted with a selection of acrylic paints and iridescent interference art mediums, and accented with hanging crystals at the bottom. This pendant is 5" in length by 5.5" across from wing tip to wing tip at the very top.<br />
<br />
I'm very proud of this piece and want to make more large pendants in similar styles and themes. I may even try reproducing this same design, but being handmade, there will be differences, of course.<br />
<br />
I'm really happy with how beautifully the photos with the teapot turned out...especially due to all the elements that went into producing them. I used a large pair of my iridescent fairy wings to help redirect sunlight, from the window above and behind this setup, onto the pendant. -Something that just happened on a whim, but worked out great. :)<br />
I was lucky to just happen to have this old silver teapot sitting around, which I'd picked up from a Goodwill earlier this year. It turned out to be a beautiful photo prop.<br />

Ok, this is my 'last' post for now, lol!!!<br />
<br />
I had mentioned my Big news a couple of posts back... but first, if you haven't yet taken a look at my Tooth Fairy bags post, please go do so now. Don't worry, I'll wait. :D<br />
<br />
Ok, SOooooo Faerie Magazine is now selling my Tooth Fairy bags through their website!!!! :D They were directed to my etsy page and really liked my Tooth Fairy bags and contacted me immediately. They sold out of the first 8 I sent them pretty quickly and then at their request I made them a custom design for the Tooth Fairy "Faery Wish" coins. Something different from the Tooth Fairy coins I sell through my own Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited over this as I have been a long-time fan of their beautiful magazines and have often dreamt of selling my artwork through their magazine -though I always imagined I'd be buying ad space vs selling directly through their website like this. Even better! :D I feel like this is a really fantastic opportunity for me and am 'incredibly' flattered over their attention to my Tooth Fairy bags. :)<br />
<br />
So in my last post I showed my own Tooth Fairy bags which I sell through my own Etsy shop. Here are the ones I am selling through Faerie Magazine. Everything is exactly the same, the only difference is the Faery Wish coin has a different design on one side. This design is exclusive to Faery Magazine for as long they sell my coins through their site.<br />

-Everything from the last post regarding my own Tooth Fairy bags applies the same here, except that you can't request to have your child's name personally addressed in the Tooth Fairy letter. But what you see in this bottom photo is what you get. ONE 'Faery Wish' coin per Tooth Fairy bag.</div>

Now, the pics below are some 'behind the scenes' pics as I was making them..<br />

<br />
<br />
And my last post for now, I want to share with you all my latest creation around my handmade coins.<br />
<br />
I came up with the idea to create Tooth Fairy bags as gifts from the Tooth Fairy to put under your child's pillow in exchange for their lost tooth.<br />
<br />
The gift bag includes:<br />
* ONE hand painted small blue fabric drawstring bag, with a stylized tooth design on the front<br />
* ONE hand-written letter to your child from the Tooth Fairy, written in cursive.<br />
-I cut the paper to size and burn the edges for an aged look, decorate with a couple of Fairy stamps, including one that says "Tooth Fairy Approved". Then I use a metal calligraphy pen dipped in a pot of black ink to write each letter by hand. If you purchase through my Etsy shop and give me your child's name, I'll personally address the letter to your child by name. And you can even include some details you might want added into the letter from the Tooth Fairy. :) The letter is rolled into a tight scroll and tied with a red ribbon with a small silver charm attached. Currently either a small silver fairy wand charm or a charm with "Believe" written on it.<br />
* ONE handmade 2-sided "Faery Wish" coin. On one side is a Tooth Fairy design and on the other a large tooth design. Each coins is hand painted and decorated with colorful pearlescent pigments, so no 2 are ever exactly alike. And the coins vary in colors.<br />
* and this bag comes with a small baggy of iridescent glitter that you can sprinkle around the bag and under your child's pillow if you choose to.<br />
-And it's up to you, as the parent, to put anything extra in the bag you might want, like coins or a dollar bill.<br />
<br />
The coins are durable and feel like a light-weight but hard plastic. Don't leave them in water or in heat and they'll last a very very long time. :)<br />
<br />
You can purchase my Tooth Fairy bags through my Etsy shop, here:<br />

-The money is not included, just shown as an example in the photos. Also, only ONE letter - this pic shows the letter rolled up in a scroll and tied, as well as open to show you what it looks like inside. And 2 Faery Wish coins are pictured to show you what both the front and the backside looks like, but only one is provided per bag.</div>

And a whole batch of coins I had going at once...whew!!!<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>... </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm selling each bag at $20 each. They take a lot of time and materials to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather than buying something printed off of the computer to give to your child from the Tooth Fairy, why not keep the hand-crafted magic with a personal touch as an option?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've looked around online and so far haven't seen anything else quite like what I'm offering. I've already sold quite a few and have had glowing reviews from the parents regarding their child's excitement and joy over their magical surprise under their pillow. And every time I hear from another parent about how much their child loved their Tooth Fairy bag, it makes me really happy and convinces me that I'm on the right track. :D</div>

I'm posting Mermaids and Pirates together because they just seem to go hand-in-hand in my opinion...but also because I have mingled some mermaid designs into my Pirate themed coins.<br />
<br />
Now, like the Faery coins I also dust my Mermaid coins with colorful pearlescent pigments and glitters...though I do try to keep more greens and blues with the Mermaids.<br />
My Pirate coins are spray painted in a variety of metal colors from silver and gold to copper and bronze. And then I just do an aged blackened patina on them...though, I have done a few with a turquoise looking water-rust effect, which was pretty cool looking, too. :)<br />
<br />
And the few pics are the Renaissance themed coins. Now these are done with a little more of a realistic flair with designs that are familiar to the Renaissance/Medieval period. They are not as aged as the Pirate coins are, but do still have a little bit of a tarnished patina on them. <br />
<br />
Like the Faery coins and the Renaissance coins, I am planning to eventually create themed photos for each series of coins. I have plans for better staged photos for both the Mermaid and Pirate coins. But for now, this is what I've got. <br />
Oh, and eventually I will be making the Mermaid coins waterproof for Mermaid performers/entertainers. :) <br />

<br />
In my last post I gave a little bit of a backstory on the creation of my "Faire Coins". But I didn't really go over what uses they may have... as I had explained, I had initially created them for myself and my Faery Cast to pass out to children at the Renaissance Festival we were working, and as I said - they were a big hit. Everyone loved them. :) A couple years later I thought that I should make more and offer them for sale in large batches to performers/entertainers at events such as Renaissance and Fantasy Festivals. Then I realized that I needed to offer themes other than just Faery. And so I came up with the Mermaid, Pirate, and Renaissance themes...each theme offering a variety of designs.<br />
<br />
So here are some pics of my more recent Faery coins.....I make them with unicorns, fairys, Greenmen, art nouveau women's faces, Troll faces, Dryads, and my newest design, a Fairy Knight. Each coin is cast from a hand-made mold of my making. And once fully cured and hardened, I spray them in either gold, silver, bronze, or copper and then age them with a blackened patina, and then I decorate each one, individually, with colorful pearlescent pigments and glitters, before sealing them in with a polyurethane sealant.<br />
Sadly, photos don't do these beautiful coins justice. And each coin is 2-sided with a different design on each side. :)<br />

I realize it's been over a year since I last posted anything in here. To be honest, not been sure how many people are actually paying attention to my blog. But regardless, I enjoy blogging every now and then and I enjoy sharing my art, so here I am. Back for more blogging. :D<br />
<br />
I've moved again recently...into a larger and brighter apt....much happier now. I've been working on various little projects here and there with varied results...and some excellent news, which I will be sharing soon. :)<br />

A brief preface, as an artist first and foremost my passion has always been mask-making...but like a lot of artists, I like to play around with other ideas and themes and mediums -see what else I can do. Also, when I find myself in a position where I cannot easily work on my mask-making, I turn to other ideas. But even that all aside, my theme of choice has always been Fantasy -primarily, Faery.<br />
<br />
With that said.... here's what I've been working on lately.... Something I've come up with which I call "Faire Coins" and I make them in 4 different themes (currently)....Faery, Mermaid, Pirate, and Renaissance.<br />
-I make these out of an air-dry clay which I make at home in my kitchen over the stove.<br />
<br />
I first made these as Faery coins back in 2013 when I was working at a small Renaissance Festival in Casper, WY as their Faery Queen. I wanted something special and unique to hand out to the children rather than the usual small glass flat marbles most Fairy entertainers pass out at these events. And finally I was inspired by a passage in Brian Froud and Alan Lee's book "Fairies" wherein Faery money was described....the Fairies would put a glamour on leaves and pebbles to make it look like the money of that area which the Fairies would spend at the market in town, but at the end of the day, when the merchants were counting their tills, rather than finding money, they'd find the leaves and pebbles where the glamour had worn off. I thought that this was perfect! After much brainstorming and a total break-through of inspiration in the shower one day, I came up with my own Faery coins. Aged looking coins with fairy designs on them and finished in colorful pearlescent pigments and glitter, for that extra magical feel. :)<br />
<br />
They were a big hit both with the Ren Faire's Committee but also with the children at the Faire. I had written a brief little blurb about the Faery Coins, which was included in the Ren Faire's pamphlet. And I happened to be in earshot at an opportune moment to hear a father telling his child about the Faery coins and the magic cast on them by the Fairies. And that you have to continue believing in the magic and the Fairies so the glamour doesn't wear off of the coins and turn back into rocks and leaves. -Just like I explained in the pamphlet! It was a really cool experience and really made me feel like all the time and effort had been well worth it. :)<br />
I started out with a few designs and an awkward looking coin, but over time, with practice and experience, I have come up with a better looking coin and more designs and have expanded from just Faery coins to Pirate coins, Mermaid coins, and the more realistic looking Renaissance coins.<br />
I actually sell these in large batches through my Etsy shop. :D<br />

I want to introduce the most excellent music of a good friend of mine, Stephen Shultz. He calls his music BGM -"Back Ground Music" -which I think does his music a GREAT injustice. This is straight-up excellent club music. <br />
I, personally, consider it more of a beautiful and artful mix of ambient with techno music, all instrumental.<br />
<br />
Please do give it a listen, 'especially' his "Tunnels" piece. Just excellent!! And also, please share. I'm trying to talk him into setting up a YouTube channel for his music right now.:D<br />

Please leave comments as to what you think of his work.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br /><br /></div>

Would it surprise anyone to learn that I am also a poet? :) I have been writing poetry since I was a child. Most seriously since I was a teen. At some point I stopped writing as much...life got in the way, I guess.<br />
Back in Jan. I issued myself a writing-challenge. To write at least one poem a day for a week straight. And I did it. By the end of that week I had written a total of 19 poems. I'm not gonna say they are all good, but several are pretty nice. The point of this challenge was to help my mind get back into the habit of thinking of and writing poetry. Well, to some degree, it's worked. I'm not writing as much poetry, but I am writing again.<br />
<br />
With that said, I just finished my 3rd long poem in a short series of Faery poems. At the time of writing them...I was merely trying for a good Faery poem...but Faery took hold and drove my pen where it would. I just held on. I wanted something sweet...the first took it's inspiration from old European Faery-lore and went a little dark...but that was ok. The next, still dark, but not as much. And the third...neither dark nor light...just 'is'. These were each initially written as their own individual poem...separate from those before and those following after.<br />
But once I finished them...I realized that it was actually a triptych... It was series of Faery scenes...connected, but not...creating one Faery Tale told through 3 separate poems. Following Faery from one event to another...two of them narrated by mortals.<br />
