"those are her REAL EARS"

[serafaery]

okay just a quick public entry to say, right after I posted this morning's musings that I couldn't wash my face, I went and washed my face. :) I find journaling to be so therapeutic, sometimes.

also, I had the joy of sparkling a 5yo yesterday who thought I was a "real" fairy. It was so delightful. Listening to her stories, it was sweet to see how thoroughly fantasy and reality blend together in her little mind.

If I were to ever have a child, I would need it to be 5 years old, and stay perpetually 5, lol.

...

Sakura vibes, yesterday in the studio and after in the park:




And with Cynthia Sunday:






I sprang this on Cynthia so did not try to make her pose a whole bunch, but she was totally unaware of the Sakura festival so she wants to go tomorrow - it's actually good I didn't take her Sunday because it was a maddhouse, Wednesday will be better, and I think the overcast light is actually better for the flowers.

This was just a random stop I sprang on her in the cemetery where we ride our bikes :)

Keep writing your heart.. it will give you a better perspective on you.

Yay for the face wash and for your spring pictures of two really lovely gals!

I love your wings! Did you make them yourself?

[serafaery]

I did indeed! Waaaaaay back in the early 2000s, I was inspired by a youtube tutorial by Emily Autumn, she used electrical tape and colored panty hose and painted hers, I have gradually over time and trial and error shifted to my own design and style and fabric choices (sometimes, though rarely, feathers or cellophane). I made a tutorial for a faery festival during lockdown and did a live workshop, it was so fun :)

The fabric is just right. It's got that not-quite-there etherial look as well as being really pretty. It goes with your little stars as well. I'm not surprised that little girl was convinced you were real :)

I have trouble thinking that child was wrong. <3

Lisa and I are childfree by choice. We love kids, but we love handing them back to their parents even more. lol.

Your pictures are wonderful.

Is she wrong though?
