MAGICAL PETAL FAERIES

Petal Faeries
are very important to
Faerie Rings

and these two Princess Faeries
found the spot
where the Midnight Dance would take place

in order for the ring to appear

Petal Faeries sprinkle magical seeds

to grow the tiny mushrooms that will make the ring

The Petal Faeries alway choose the perfect spot

in a clearing
in the forest
beneath a roof of oak and mossy lace
I marveled at this beautiful place
and wished I could be a fairy
for one special night

to dance until dawn

In the Midnight Summer Faerie Ring


Petal Faeries are now in my Doll Shop

FIRE FLY FAES

This evening I was puttering around my studio
finishing some pretty little gowns

When I heard a tiny tapping
I looked out into the evening landscape

peeking in a corner of the window
all a glow
a Fire Fly Fae

I saw another flicker of light in the trees
and then there were two

Fire Fly Faes
come out at Sunset
so I had heard the stories
I was so excited to see this lovely pair

I gave them the new gowns I had been working on

the silks swirled around their tiny feet

These Fire Fly Faes
were on their way to the
Midnight Faerie Ring
to light up the forest
with their neon glow

THE BUTTERFLY DRESS & HER FAERIE GOWN SISTERS

Oh, no you didn't
Well I did!
I cut up one of my beloved faerie dresses
It all started with the Midnight Faerie Ring Collection of Dolls
I figured it would be a good way to use old ArtWear
The Butterfly Dress and her lovely Pink Sister Dresses
have been hidden away in a dark cedar closet for 30 years
and as I look at all the pretty flowers and vines, and remember the rustle of the soft silk skirts I can imagine
these dresses having a new life
on a beautiful girl

The Story
a long time ago, I worked in the warehouses of Chicago as a fitting model for
Zarahoff a fabulous talented young designer
I became one of her house-models

as a house-model, you are always seen in the Designer's clothing

So, for my first trip to Europe with the Designer
I made this Collection of Gowns and Dresses
as a way to keep my identity

I would show up at the Shows and the Galleries
dressed in one of my Designs

I would quickly have to exchange my dress for one of the Designers

These dresses would never be worn for more than a few minutes
But long enough to make a entrance
so the nick-name
Kaerie-Faerie

I've decided to put this Collection in my Etsy Shop
and hopefully these beauties will be given a new life
and get to go to a great party!

All these Dresses are One of A Kind hand-painted Silks and Water-colored Chiffons
embellished with crystals and fairy beads

BLUE BELL FAERIES

I took another visit to the Lake Yale Forest
to see if the Blue Bell Faeries
were happy with their dresses

The forest is safer for humans during the day
it is a strange mix of Royal Palms and mossy lace
covered Oaks

But I found these two Blue Faeries
sitting on a low branch

Blue Faeries stay in the trees during the day

in the shade

out of the sun

being rocked to sleep by Summer breezes
in the Great Oak Trees

Pretty Blue Faeries

waiting for the night
and to dance in the
Midnight Faerie Ring

Blue Bell Faeries
are now in my shop

PINK BLOSSOM FAERIES

Delicate little faeries
that live along Lake Yale

playing hide and seek
in the lacy moss

They came for a visit
and sang a sweet little song
it sounded like tinkling bells

I gave them wispy water-colored gowns

and hair wreaths
made with fragrant berries

They sang of their lovely home in the forest

and the Midnight Faerie Dance


These two Pink Blossom Faeries
are soft ball jointed dolls
and they are now in my shop

FAERIE RINGS

Now that we are deep into the Summer
the air is thick with heat
and in the coolness of the evening
under a large clear moon
Faeries often dance in circles in the grass
which are called faerie rings

This can spell danger for any human passerby

The wild enchantment of the faerie music can
lead you towards the ring

like a faerie kiss or faerie food and drink

Can lead to captivity forever in the world of
Faerie
But this is also the time of year when the Faerie Atelier
is the busiest
Faeries of all kinds, pass through my country yard
in search of the Faerie Dressmaker
with a song or a fairy story
I will gladly design a lovely dress
or necklace
and so the season of the Midnight Faerie Rings
Begins!

all these tiny faeries are original creations from
Twigs Faerie Land Studio
