FEBRUARY - AMETHYST "Birthstone Fairy"

AMETHYST

(Click on the name amethyst above to learn more about her)

February's Birthstone Fairy

by DZFANTASY

The amethyst is the modern birthstone for those born in February, which happens to be my birthstone.  I am going to be creating a "birthstone" fairy for each of the coming months.  There are several other stones associated with each month, but I will be using the colors and crystals of the modern birthstone when creating these fairies.

Each fairy will be 6.5" tall and designed to either hang on the wall or dance from a bit of clear fishing line or ribbon. If anyone is interested in having a "special" birthstone fairy created as a gift, or for their own birthday, please feel free to contact me either by email at: dzfairies@msn.com or via a convo in Etsy.

February's fairy has 29 Swarovski crystals as her accents with amethyst Swarovski crystals in her accents...necklace, hair accent, waist, belly button and more!

Below is a little information on the amethyst stone:

Amethyst is the purple variety of the mineral quartz and is a popular gemstone. If it were not for its widespread availability, amethyst would be very expensive. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." This was perhaps due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the effects of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades.

I'll be starting on March's birthstone fairy soon, so do stop back for a visit.

Rainbow fairy and butterfly mobile! Whimsical fantasy creation!

Rainbow Butterfly and Fairy Mobile!

For a long time now, I've been wanting to create one of my tiny fairy's flying on one of my fabric sculpted butterflies. I finally did it!! 

Getting her to balance on the wings took a long time and it was very "touchy", but as you can see in the photo above, she is flying.  She is hanging from a bit of clear fishing line, which has been attached to a hidden loop in the back of her fluffy hairdo.

She can also be displayed sitting on a shelf or table.  The photo above shows her sitting on a flat surface.

Back view of her hanging as a mobile!

She is now listed in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy, so if you'd like to learn more about her and see more photos, just click on the link below.

Now that I have the design figured out, I hope to have time to create some more of these fun creatures.

HOW SMALL CAN I GO? MY NEW SMALL FAIRIES!

I just finished this "wee" fairy, and have decided she is absolutely the smallest fairy I can create! She is the second tiny fairy I have created since I scaled down my design of what I already thought was the tinest figure I could create and still be able to get a good face.

This may not seem small to those artists who create their tiny fantasy fairies out of clays, but when working with fabric, it is quite tiny. Her face measures .50" wide x .75" long. I've found it actually takes me longer to create a tiny fairy such as this than when working with a larger size figure.

Since I love a challenge, I will be creating several more in this size! To learn more about her, click on any of her photos.

The photo below shows the very first of my teeny, tiny fairies, and her face was even a bit smaller, which was almost impossible to do. It measured a little less than .50" wide and a tad more than .50" high. After attempting that size, I increased the face a wee bit.

2.75" high from her "seat" to the top of her head.

Here she is sitting with several of my other size fairies. The Fairy Bride on the left is my middle size fairy and measures approximately 4.5" high from her seat to the top of her head. The little yellow sitting fairy is what used to be my smallest fairy.

WINNER OF THE "JANUARY EARTH ANGEL" GIVEAWAY

Lavender Angel

by

DZFANTASY

My "January Earth Angel" giveaway ended January 31, 2009.

I'd like to thank all of the wonderful people who took the time to spread a bit of positive energy by telling who was an "earth angel" in their lives. I would have loved to give everyone an angel, but since that wasn't possible, I randomly chose a name from the 27 entries that I received.

The winner of the giveaway was:

Sandi

from Annapolis, MD

Sandi had the option of selecting either an "angel or "fairy" to be created for her in her choice of style, colors, etc.

Sandi, loved the Lavender Angel shown above, so that is the one I'm sending to her, since I still had her available. What makes this so special is that Sandi wrote and told me about a very good friend of hers who has recently had some surgery, and is having a rather rough time of it. Sandi said she is going to give the Lavender Angel to her friend with hopes that it will bring her a bit of hope and light.

Sandi what a lovely thing to do. I'm sure your friend appreciates having an "earth angel" like you!

Be sure to visit DZFANTASY so see what other ideas I will come up with for "special giveaways".
