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:

Stop back soon to see a step by step tutorial on the creation of one of these little creatures.

Now...a bit about the fairy! She is one of my wall style fairies, measuring approximately 10.5" tall from the tip of her toes to the top of her fluffy hairdo. She is my own original design, and created individually be me.

Her face is 100% silk, which I individually hand-drew, needle-sculpted and hand-painted.

Her body wing fabric is a fun, colorful batik fabric, with all different colored "hearts" in the design. She is posed to stay in her current position, however, since her arms have inner wire armatures, you can move those up or down a bit.

Her colorful hairdo was designed from a wispy, long "eyelash" style yarn, and is accented with a silk flower and Swarovski crystals. Her other accents are Swarovski crystals accenting the lavender heart on her chest, a waist accent of hearts and Swarovski crystals, crystals on the tip of each toe, and a silk flower and crystals in the center back of her wings.

She is one fun fairy, who will be making her home with the lucky winner of this "October Giveaway"!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

MEET MY "FAIRY PRINCESS"

FAIRY PRINCESS

I can't believe I managed to finish her, as I've been very busy getting together a huge list of more Etsy artists, who will be featured out here in the coming weeks. I just finished her today, and thought I'd bring her out here, so you can see what else I've been up to.

She was such fun to create, and is full of sparkle! She is wearing a lot of Swarovski crystals, and even has one in her "belly button". She has butterfly shaped wings, and measures 4" tall from her "seat" to the top of her fluffy hairdo! I hope she finds a good home before I get too attached to her!

If you'd like to learn more about her , you can visit her in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy by clicking on any one of her photos above.

Here's was a sneak preview of the beginnings of the FREE GIVE-A-WAY gift for JUNE out here on my DZFANTASY blog! She is going to be one of my original designed 6.5" tall wall style fairies. Her body/wing fabric is one of Laurel Burch's whimsical designs. I'm thinking that this yarn will make her a beautiful, fluffy hairdo. Since I LOVE the sparkle of Swarovski crystals, I'm sure she will have some of those in her accents!! Be sure to stop back and see her when she is finished, and leave a comment in her post. A winner's name will be randomly drawn at the end of June.

Above you will see how this little fairy started out....NOW HERE SHE IS ALL FINISHED FOR JUNE'S FREE GIVEAWAY DRAWING!

This colorful little fairy is the smallest of my wall style creations. She measures 6.5" tall from the tip of her toes to the tip of her wings. Her face is 100% silk, which I hand-drew, needle-sculpted, and hand-painted. Her arms and wings have inner wire armatures so that you may bend them a bit.. She is designed to hang on the wall, or to dangle from a bit of ribbon or clear fishing line. There is a loop on the back of her neck for this purpose. Her body wing fabric is one of Laurel Burch's whimsical designs. She is accented with Swarovski crystals, and colorful glass seed beads. Her hairdo was designed from a wonderful Italian designer yarn, with a texture of wisps and colorful loops.

This tiny fairy is NOT suitable for children to play with....it is great however, to decorate their rooms. There are too many tiny accents on the fairy to be safe for children under age 8.
