Some new things...

A couple of commissions finished in the past few days...

fae kitchen set

fae treehouse and moss topiaries

little fae car ready to fly...

Otherwise, spring is here and lovely and evocative as ever...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some new/old art and faery furnishings...

Imaginary Ancestor: a new assemblage piece of found objects and natural materials... Available along with other vintage inspired art and objects on my "second"  Etsy shop: http://www.artemisjane.etsy.com

 And some of the many fae things I've made for my Pandora Jane Etsy shop: http://www.pandorajane.etsy.com (and other internet clients...)

 The tiny chair and table below were a special fae furniture give away on my facebook artist page...Here's the address if you'd like to be in on the next give away there: https://www.facebook.com/DianaHeyneArtist

A Faery Carriage

And here it is at last, the faery carriage--- a plump bird in natural materials---ready to take a spin in the park or travel to an enchanted ball! (If you recall my last blog I posted the large fae chateau commission that this carriage accompanies but at that point the wheels hadn't been added...)

There's room for three faery beings to ride on the seats inside. And on days when it rains buckets and the fae for the most part stay inside dreaming, there is always music from an ancient gramophone...or lutes and harps...

Wishing you all an enchanting day and night full of the magic of nature and the joy of creativity...

A Fae Chateau

A house and theatre of birch bark and pine cone scales, twigs and magic, seashells and old lace is near its finish and a long voyage to another land.

And though they are often shy of cameras the residents have agreed to appear here... relaxing, sky gazing and carriage riding...

 

(The fae carriage before the addition of the all important wheels...)

Spring has officially arrived and brought with it a trio of new goat kids at the Jardin des Plantes...

I've added a few spring favourites to my "micro garden" outside the apartment door...

  

 

   

 And soon it will be time to find places for everyone out of doors in the courtyard...

 

Inside the cats are still in their cozy winter mode, sleeping much and taking over all the most comfy chairs for long siestas.

 

Twiggy Miranda in her favourite place...

 

There's not much room here but still I manage to make and do quite a lot... This week began with some new fae furniture coming into the human world...

 

A fae seamstress' work table with tiny hand crank sewing machine, vintage style.

 A fae reader's corner for curling up with a good book and a cup of tea.

 A fae fireplace with cheery flames cut from dried Chinese lantern flowers and a basket of logs close at hand.

 

 I have also begun experimenting with some lovely naturally twisty wood, copper and quartz to make fae wands. ( Available on my Artemis Jane shop: http://www.artemisjane.etsy.com ).

 

Come and visit again soon...Flea market dolls await...

 

 

as do vintage bottles---mind the mischievous faery trying to squeeze free!---

and a shelf full of art and magical things..

Wishing you all a joyful spring!
