How to win a custom designed standing style ANGEL figure!

Fiber Sculpted standing style angels in 6" and 8" size

Original designs by Donna of

DZFANTASY

on Etsy

I have been designing and creating my original designed, one-of-a-kind fiber sculpted fantasy sculptures for over 20 years (angels, fairies, mermaids, leaf spirits and more).  Several years ago, I would create a personal, original designed ANGEL for anyone who shared their  "ANGEL EXPERIENCE/S" with everyone here on my blog.  Several of the stories are still out here on my blog. Since this got to be a bit time consuming and costly, I will now create ONE angel for the person who's story is submitted and voted on by you the readers of the stories.

I believe ANGELS come in many ways to help us...they can be "earth" angels in the form of a friend, family member, one's pet, or a complete stranger.  They can also be "unseen" angels helping us in times of need, you just have to be open and aware. 

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE A STORY OF ANY EXPERIENCE YOU FEEL WHICH SHOWS THERE ARE ANGELS OF ALL TYPES HERE TO HELP US!

The time to submit your story will run from DECEMBER 28 - JANUARY 28, 2017. I will enter the stories out here on my blog, and on JANAURY 29TH,  I  will add a place where people can vote for the story that touched them the most. THE WINNER WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THEIR CHOICE OF COLORS FOR THEIR 6" OR 8" STANDING ANGEL, AND I WILL SHIP IT TO THEM.

To submit your "angel story/experience", send it to my email address: dzfairies@msn.com

Above are several of the angels styles that I now have available in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy, but the "winner", of the ANGEL STORY contest can either choose from one of the angels already in my shop, or pick their own colors and size, either 6" or 8".  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.  Hope to hear from many of you regarding your  experiences with angels, .

The Magic of Laurel Burch Fabric

Whimsical fiber sculpted "Cat Fairy" created

 using one of Laurel Burch's wonderful cat designed fabric

(she is currently available in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy.

WHIMSICAL CAT FAIRY 

I have been designing and creating my original designed fiber sculpted fantasy sculptures for over 20 years now, and one of my all time favorite fabrics were those designed by the talented fabric artist, Laurel Burch.  

Her colorful, whimsical designs inspired so many of my fairies and mermaids over the years.  I was so sad when this great artist passed away.  Recently I was quite amazed to note how her various designed fabrics have skyrocketed in price!  Her use of color and whimsey appeal to so many!!  Designs that years ago used to be anywhere from $10.00 - $12.00 a yard are now going for anywhere from $25.00 - $69.00 a yard.  I am so happy I had the opportunity years ago to purchase so many of her wonderful designs.

Below are several more photos of some of the creations I designed using Laurel Burch fabrics.

Magical fiber sculpted butterfly fairy on silk morning glory leaf

Petite and sweet fiber fantasy sculpture!

This tiny enchanting fiber sculpted fairy sitting on a hand dyed, silk morning glory leaf is my latest creation just completed.  She is now listed in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy.

I forgot how a tiny little creation takes almost as long to create as one of my larger fairies.  Her face is only about .75" long and .50" wide which makes it very hard to work with.  

I will be making several more of these tiny fairies sitting on silk leaves.  Some will be designed as mobiles, which would look enchanting just about anywhere.  Others will be designed to hang on the wall, or as the one above, to sit on a shelf or anywhere else you'd like a bit of fairy magic.

I am always happy to create "special" orders, and can send photos of fabrics and yarns in your choice of colors.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may by clicking on my name below:

Cookie is just one of about 25 rescue doggies currently living at Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue in Mukwonago, WI while waiting for their "forever" home.  I have been a volunteer at the rescue for the past two years. To learn more about this privately run, non-profit organization visit the link below:

BICHON AND LITTLE BUDDIES RESCUE

It is my goal to raise whatever money I can through the sale of my DZFANTASY fiber art and fantasy jewelry to help these little creatures be properly taken care of until they can find their forever homes.  Towards this goal, I am donating 100% of any sales made either through my DZFANTASY shop on ARTFIRE (http://dzfantasy.artfire.com), ETSY (http://dzfantasy.etsy.com) or through the Blue Heron Artisan Gallery in Port Washington, WI (http://blueheronport.com/donna-zeigler.html)

Each month I will be posting what has been sold and funds donated to the rescue, (hopefully, each month there will something to share) here on my DZFANTASY blog.  I feel fortunate and blessed to be able to do this at this time in my life.  The love and need of these four-legged creatures is more than compensation.

I currently have numerous Swarovski crystal earrings for sale in my shop on ARTFIRE, at the low price of $8.00 and $10.00, so be sure to stop by for a visit.  I also have a wide variety of fiber sculptures, handknit fiber jewelry and earrings in the Blue Heron Artisan Gallery in Port Washington, WI, so if you live in the area be sure to stop by for a visit.  It is a great gallery and has a lot of nice art there for purchase.

Enchanting Fabric Fairy House with Fiber Sculpted Fairy

Enchanting Fabric Fairy House

with Tiny Fiber Sculpted Laying Fairy

$105.00 (Free Shipping)

I just completed this fun, colorful fabric fairy house.  I designed the fairy house from a pattern designed by fiber/fantasy artist, Julie McCullough.  I modified the pattern to create this 12" tall house, where the original pattern is for a 22" fairy house.  I added one of my fabric sculpted butterflies and Swarovski crystals as accents.  The tiny little fiber sculpted fairy is my own original design. This creation (fairy house and fairy) will be soon available at the BLUE HERON GALLERY in Port Washington, WI where I am currently showing my work, or you may contact me personally at dzfairies@msn.com 

She measures approximately 2.5" long from her bent up legs to her elbows, and is about 2" high from her elbows to the top of her head.

I will be creating several more of these fabric fairy houses and the little fairies to go with them.  If anyone is interested in "special ordering" a set, please feel free to contact me for further information.

The fairies can also be created as sitting fairies, such as the tiny fairy shown below.

The sitting fairy measures about 3" tall from her "seat" to the top of her head, and fits nicely sitting in the door of the house.  I've also styled the house so that it could be hung as a mobile, if you didn't want it sitting on a table or shelf.

Teeny Fiber Sculpted Fairy and her Fairy House

This tiny fairy measures only 2.75" high and is the smallest of my sitting style fairies.  If anyone is interested in "special ordering" a tiny fairy of this size, please feel free to contact me at dzfairies@msn.com. The fairy house is a pattern from Julie McCullough. The fairy house shown in the photo above was given to me by a friend, and I added the handmade flowers and fabric butterfly.  I just received the pattern, and will be creating several of these quilted fairy houses along with tiny little fairies to coordinate with the fabrics of the house.

This size fairy also looks cute sitting on a hand-carved mushroom designed from a root.

Here she is sitting in the palm of my hand.  A fairy this size sells for $42.00.

These wee fairies would make a sweet addition to any fairy collection. I will also be creating them laying down.  I would be happy to send fabric and hair samples in your choice of colors, etc. either via mail or email.

Are you an Etsy Shop owner? Would you like to be "featured"?

In the past, I've done many features of Etsy shops, and would like to start doing this again.  Since Etsy did away with the "old forums" it has been hard to let people know that I would love to feature their shop.

Anyone who is interested in being featured here on my DZFANTASY blog, send me a convo or an email to Donna at: dzfairies@msn.com

My Etsy shop is DZFANTASY at: http://dzfantasy.etsy.com/

All mediums are welcome.  My features include several photos of your favorite items in your shop,  interview questions and any links related to your shop.
