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.

WHAT KIND OF "DIVA" ARE YOU..... Meet my new JEWELRY DIVA!

FIBER FANTASY SCULPTURE

"JEWELRY DIVA"

Meet my newly designed "Jewelry Diva"!  I've recently been designing and creating my new line of fiber fantasy jewelry, so it came to me that I should create a "jewelry diva"!  That, of course, got me to thinking that I need to start a new collection which I will be calling "LADY DIVAS".

What type of DIVA are you?  Are you a "shopping diva", "excercise diva", "dancing diva"....?  If anyone has any ideas of what type of diva they would like to see...be sure to leave a comment here.

She is loaded with jewels...fiber and Swarovski crystal necklace, dangle earrings, Swarovski crystal belt, bracelet, ankle bracelet and hair accent.

Here is our diva relaxing in her favorite chair!  She had a busy day looking for new jewelry!

FLOWER FAIRIES....to wear!

Whimsical "FLOWER FAIRY" pin and necklace set

For the past couple of months now I've been drawn to creating various styles of "fairy and flower" fiber fantasy jewelry!  The colorful "flower fairy" shown above is not only a pin, which can be worn alone, alongside the necklace, but can also be pinned onto the handknit necklace.

The yarn used for this flower fairy is so exquisite in its colors and texture.  It is a gorgeous yarn from Karabella Yarns and is called JEWELS!  I have it in several different color combinations, so you will be seeing more of this fun yarn in various designs.

I just started putting clasps onto some of my necklaces, and couldn't believe how long it took me to get one of those little "jump rings" on!  I'm sure it doesn't take all you jewelry artists out there as long as it did me!!  lol!  I guess I will have to practice a bit.

I'm trying to decide if one of these fairy pin/necklace sets would be a good idea for my next giveaway, so if any of you out here have a comment.....I'd love to hear it!

MARCH'S CHILD....Aquamarine BIRTHSTONE Fairy!

AQUAMARINE - March's Birthstone Fairy!

She is exquisite!

To find out more about her, click on the name below:

AQUAMARINE

I've used Aquamarine Swarovski crystals in March's birthstone fairy....in her hair, necklace, belly button, waist accent, on her toes and the center back of her wings.

Some interesting information on "aquamarine":

Birthstone Properties: Bestows courage, insight, and victory

Aquamarine is the traditional birth stone for March. It is also the accepted anniversary gem for the 19th year of marriage. Aquamarine is mined primarily in Brazil, Nigeria and Zambia.

Ancient Romans believed the magnificent gemstone was sacred to Neptune, the god of the sea. Some legends say that it was gift from mermaids, while others suggest that Neptune retrieved it after it fell from the jewel boxes of sirens and washed onto shore.
 

Below is a photo of February's AMETHYST Birthstone Fairy, along with her sister, March's AQUAMARINE birthstone fairy. 

Next, will be APRIL.....the Diamond Birthstone Fairy!

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.

SWINGING FAIRY....!

SWINGING FAIRY...my newest design!

For some time now I've been wanting to design and create a little fairy swinging on a vine swing.  Little did I realize that creating the vine swing would take me almost as long to create as the fairy!

I had to sew two long stems wide enough to be able to turn them inside out and have a wire armature in the middle of the stem while stuffing them with fiberfill.  It was a lot harder than I anticipated!  After I finally got a pair sewn and stuffed, I then handpainted them using silk fabric paints.  Once the stems were totally dry, I could them twist them together.  The really hard part was holding them together so that I could sewn them securely and shape them into a swing.

The other trick was trying to hold the fairy in place while positioning her on the swing and sewing her to it at the same time.

I'm thinking it might be a while before I attempt another one of these "swinging fairies".

SWINGING FAIRY

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!

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.

VIRGINIA

CONGRATULATIONS, CHARLENE!

My giveaway for the above pictured BUTTERFLY FAIRY FACE pin ended July 15, 2009 at 12:00 midnight CST with 31 entries.

Today, my husband randomly selected an entry from the 31 entries received for this giveaway, which I always put on little slips of paper with the person's name, and date of their comment. The first entry he selected was from an entry that had no email or other means of contacting the person, so it had to be disqualified! (It is very important to leave a means of contact in your comment)

The next entry he picked turned out to be CHARLENE'S entry of July 15th!!

I will be shipping Charlene her butterfly fairy pin, first thing tomorrow!

A big "thank you" to all who participated in this giveaway and many of my other giveaways. I always enjoy reading your comments!
