Fairies

[Venus]

Well, I am a big fairy fan as some of you know already. I don't collect the figurines etc although i have two fairies Tripsy and Willemien hanging in my studio (they are weird faeries...but good company)

I collect faerie books etc and at the present moment I am writing a faerie book for children(and some grownups). Well, at least there are some people that will proofread for free...? ! it is a long way of yet but when I come back from SA in March I wil work full steam to finish it.

I also make faerie dresses for the whole family, all the little girls have a dress made by me in BRIGHT colours...not like the ones you get in the shops that look like plastic. Mine looks torn and frayed. Some of them are themed, like an African faerie with some tarentaal feathers worked in the costume, Indian faeries etc (you catch my drift) I plan to make loads of them and open a stall in Greenwich market over Christmas time this year.

Too many ideas too little time

If anyone wants me to make a faerie dress for a special little girl PM me

Wow, Birdie, I'm so impressed with all you're busy with. I look forward to reading your book. The dresses sound beautiful. I would've died for a dress like that when I was a little girl. I wish you every success with both projects. Please keep coming back with any updates.
