Great Gifts for Christmas, Birthdays, and more! Greatly Reduced Prices

Fiber Fantasy Mermaid

PRICE REDUCED:  Was $145.00, NOW: $115.00

I just reduced ALL the items in my DZFANTASY shop on ARTFIRE!  I plan on donating any and all sales sold in my shop on Artfire to Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue in Mukwonago, WI.

I am also running a DZFANTASY GIVEAWAY for a $30.00 Gift Certificate to be spent in my DZFANTASY shop on ARTFIRE!  Giveaway ends, 12/31/11 - 12:00 Midnight.

To enter: click on $30.00 Gift Certificate Giveway

The reason I'm willing to donate all my sales  to help all the little creatures that are looking for their "forever" homes is because I have the time, materials and feel there is such a great need to help our 4 legged friends, who ask for nothing more than love and a good home.  This is a privately run dog rescue where I have been volunteering for the past year.  It made me realize just what an enormous amount of money it takes to care for these little "buddies'....food, vet bills being the most expensive, and just the ongoing needs of these rescued animals.  Many come from puppy mills, strays, owner surrenders and more.

 All dogs taken in by Bichon and Little Buddies have their medical needs taken care of, they are also spayed/neutered, microchipped, dental work done before they are adopted out.  Below are several photos of some of the little ones now living at Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue, while they wait for their "forever" homes.

I am hoping to combine my two passions, creating fiber fantasy figures and fantasy jewelry, and helping rescue dogs find their "forever" homes.

The past year, I've been involved with a private rescue organization in my area (Mukwonago, WI) called Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue which is a non-profit organization.  They depend on donations to help with the high vet bills, food and other items incurred by all the little "buddies" they give a home to.

BICHON AND LITTLE BUDDIES RESCUE

It is my hope to be able to help find these sweet little "buddies" homes by selling various piece of my artwork and donating the full price to sponsor individual dogs.

I will be donating the full price of the above pictured mermaid to sponsor LUCAS who is pictured above.  Lucas needs to find a home soon as he isn't really happy at the rescue.  He loves to go for walks and run in the grass!  Click on LUCAS'S photo to learn more about him.

Aqua "Sea Nymph on her magical fish"...!

Aqua Sea Nymph on her Magical Fish

She was sold today, and will be on her way to her new home !

I finally finished her!  I've had her magical fish finished for a while now, but just couldn't get going on the nymph.  She is light and airy looking in her tones of aqua, which are enhanced with over 100+ Swarovski crystal accents.  Sewing on all the crystals by hand took me quite a few hours in itself.

She is designed to hang as a mobile and will twirl and sparkle!

To learn more about her, visit her in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy

Who doesn't like mermaids....!

I don't think I'ver ever come across anyone who isn't enchanted by the idea of mermaids!  I know I love them, and often imagined how wonderful it would be to be one!

I have always had a wonderful imagination, and could see myself being any number of mythical, fantasy creatures...who's to say that they aren't real.

This tiny, little minty green mermaid is my newest addition to my DZFANTASY shop.  To see and learn more about her, just click on the link below:

MERMAID ON A REAL STARFISH!

ENCHANTING MERMAID

REAL STARFISH

I've been working on this delightful fiber sculpted mermaid for several days now, and finally she is finished! I've really been into the aqua and ocean theme with my last few creations. I love the colors!

Her starfish is real, and she is permanently cemented to it. It took several steps to get her firmly attached to the starfish using a big clamp and a special cement.

To find out more about her, click on any of her photos!

Her accents are Swarovski crystals (just love their sparkle!), and green, glass leaf beads, and a tiny glass fish!

MYSTICAL, MAGICAL MERMAID!

My newest mermaid creation!

It must be the cold, long winter we are having in Wisconsin that has me thinking .....I wouldn't mind being a mermaid, living in a warm tropical sea!! Well, since that isn't possible, I've been making more mermaids lately, and this is my latest one!

I've just listed her out in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy, and I am still running a 10% - 15% off sale through January 31, 2009, so you might want to visit her out there. CLICK on any of her photos to learn more about her.

Below are a few more photos of her.

She has real sea shells and Swarovski crystal accents in her hair, necklace, belly button, waist accent and on her fins.

She was a bit modest, so she is wearing flowers for her top, accented in the center with Swarovski crystals.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MERFAERIE??

MERFAERIE

This "Merfaerie" is my latest design. I've been wanting to create a fantasy creature who not only is a mermaid, who can flit through the magical ocean kingdoms and seas, but also one that can soar above the earth and visit other magical kingdoms as well. She is the first of my colorful Merfaeries!

I hope to be creating more of these "Merfaeries" in different sizes, as time allows. She is the largest ,and measures approximately 15" tall, with a fin span of 10" wide. Other sizes I am considering are 6.5", and 10".

Her upper body and face are 100% silk tussah fabric. Tussah silk comes from wild moths, whose main diet is oak leaves. I individually hand-drew, needle-sculpted, and hand-painted her face.

If you'd like to learn more about her, she is now out in my DZFANTASY SHOP ON Etsy...you can click on the link below to visit her:

MERFAERIE

I am also thinking of creating a "special" Merfaerie for one of my monthly "giveaways", so it would be fun to hear from all of you....to see what you think of this new design.

I am running this giveaway from SEPT. 1st - SEPT. 25th!! The giveaway will end at 12 midnight on Sept. 25th. Due to the fact that I won't have time to wait for the randomly chosen winner to reply within 3 days.

I would like anyone, who cares to enter, to leave either their email or some other means of contacting them immediately after the drawing. I want to be able to ship the mermaid prior to going on vacation. THANKS!

This enchanting mermaid is one of my 6.5" tall wall style mermaids. She has a loop on the back of her neck, so that you can either hang her on the wall, dangle her from a bit of colorful ribbon or clear fishing line, or she can also be displayed by standing her on a shelf, with her "tacked" to the wall. She is NOT freestanding!

Her upper body/face are 100% silk fabric. Her face has been individually hand-drawn, needle-sculpted and hand-painted by me. Her eyes and lips have a coat of crystal clear lacquer, which gives her a very life-like look and shine.

Her tail fabric is a gorgeous, rainbow batik fabric. Her colorful hairdo was designed out of one of my favorite Italian yarns, and has a metallic thread running throught the soft wispy eyelash...which gives her a very magical look. Her accents are Swarovski crystals, real sea shells, and tiny glass seed beads, which have been hand-sewn onto the mermaid. She even has a Swarovski crystal belly button.

GOOD LUCK!!
