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, .  

ANGEL BLESSINGS

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.

I was recently contacted by the owner/operator of the gallery, Bette Langford, to see if I was interested in putting my fiber fantasy art in the gallery.  I will now be offering my one-of-a-kind, original designed fiber fantasy figures and jewelry for sale at the gallery. This is a great alternative to doing art shows! Below are photos of my creations in the glass case where they will be on display for sale. What I have currently available at the gallery (as of 7/29/12) is what is pictured in each of these 4 photos.  I will be periodically changing the selections in the form of new fairies, mermaids, and fiber fantasy jewelry....fairy face pins, hand knit necklaces, butterfly pins, hand knit beaded earrings and more.  If you live in the area, be sure to stop by for a visit.  There is a lot of great art to look at and buy!

Any artists who are interested in having their work displayed in the gallery, should feel free to contact Betty Langford for further information. As of this past Sunday, July 29th, Bette said she has 3 glass cases still available such as the one pictured below, and approximately 30 walls spaces available. The rental fees are very reasonable.

Below are photos showing several of the artists already displaying their work in the gallery. Bette is also an artist and creates one-of-a-kind driftwood sculptures as shown in the photos below.

My newest "fairy face" pin

The last week or so, I've been busy creating new fairy face pins not only to add to my DZFANTASY shop, but also to get a jump start on my creations for my art shows this season.

I was down to only 4 face pins.  Since I'm having a WINNER'S CHOICE giveaway this month, where one of the choices is that the winner gets to pick a fairy face pin as their prize, I thought I'd like to give them a bigger selection to choose from.  The giveaway runs through 1/31/10, so if you haven't already signed up, be sure to do so.  You can enter the giveaway by clicking on the little yellow fairy in the upper right column of this blog.

I think I now have about 12 pins available.  More to come.....!  I've also found some MORE beautiful yarns, and can't wait to try those out on these little faces!

WHAT IS PINK AND MAGICAL??

A VALENTINE FAIRY, OF COURSE!!

I usually don't create a lot of "holiday" style creations, but I had this gorgeous, sparkly pink fabric that was just calling to me to be made into a "VALENTINE FAIRY"....SO HERE SHE IS!

She was a lot of fun to create, and would make a truly "special" gift for that someone special in your life.....wife, mother, granddaughter, friend??

She is accented with Swarovski crystals, and 2 silver Swarovski element hearts!

She's a butterfly fairy!

She is on Ebay this week!  Click on the link below!
