A Walk Among the Flowers and Fae Matters...

Away from home again and traveling among the flowers in a cold and wet spring...

A few new things I've made recently:

Faery dream catchers for my Artemis Jane shop on Etsy:  http://www.artemisjane.etsy.com

Also on Artemis Jane, a magic mirror: vintage mirror with skeleton key and found butterfly wings encased in mica...
And speaking of skeletons, I've finally gotten around to finishing Ms. D. who started as a beach combed bone and early on looked like this:

And now looks like this:

And this:

Then on to the realm of fae furnishings...

Natural materials miniatures on my Pandora Jane shop: http://www.pandorajane.etsy.com
A wonky fae portal...

A simple fae kitchen set for adults or older children...

A mermaid chair and lamp of shells and twigs...

Fae acorn chandelier...

And another simple rustic dining set of driftwood and twigs, suitable for adults or older children...
More news to follow...wishing you a beautiful and creative day... and night!
Love, Diana

April Travels

As promised, I have begun to sort through all the recent photos and have some to share, beginning with the town of Die (French pronunciation takes away the bad associations we have for this spelling in English, creating a sound more like "dee"), nestled among mountains in the south eastern quadrant of France.

In the old city the buildings block the intense, pure light and seen to lean out to each other, like neighbors chatting across a fence. There are frequent stone supports that look like narrow arched bridges at second story level, presumably to prevent this leaning from becoming more disastrous. (They don't seem to be placed in a manner that could be easily used as an actual bridge between houses since they seldom have window or balcony access reasonably close at hand).

A window full of vintage lace and one with a Picasso poster. If you look closely you can see me reflected in the upper left behind Pablo, with my obligatory morning baguette in hand.

The cathedral with its Romanesque bell tower...
