Bohemian Romantic Pregnant Faery Fashion in the Snow

My sister Minna photographed the cover and eight page spread for the Finnish baby magazine 9 Kuukautta, or '9 Months'. Faerie girl Mani modeled her own natural, bohemian, feminine designs as well as jewelry and a couple pieces of clothing from Oona Elena of Moonalia.

These photos are so stunning I'm not going to even say anything except OMG OMG WOW OMG beautiful amazing lovely wonderful magical magical OMG!! Respekt for Minna for capturing the moments and lots of warm exciting wishes and congratulations for Mani and Flo for their baby girl about to arrive. 

 

More photos on Minna's page. And for God's and Goddesses sakes, like her on FB! While you're at it, like me too, if you'd like :) Much slushy snowy love.

Two Fairy Houses :: Fairy Tea House & Earth Fairy House

I made fairy houses! If you could use some magickal company, one option is to place a faery dwelling in your home and soon enough someone wonderful (or two or three?) will inhabit it.

Full view of the house. 'Fairy Lamps' is a mysterious and pretty song from a 1914 song book.

Little mandala art I made.

Interesting art on the walls of the pixie lounge. Also, space for adding any fae items one may wish, or you can put your fairy here if you have figurines and such. The petal is a book holder for miniature fairytales.

'Something Nice to Look At' and 'The Pie and the Patty-Pan' by Beatrix Potter. The former is written in excellent rhyme :)

Adorable vintage kitty! And Charming poetry on this page! :P

Step into the mystery and attract a bright spirit to bless your home, and to enjoy this shabby chic Fairy Tea House!

Oh and there's another apartment available:

A natural, wondrous fairy house for a calm and earthy spirit to come live here.

Baby deer ready to play with the fairy (or fairies).

Dragonfly guarding the magic crystal! Picture is not doing it justice here, sorry. The crystal is not glued so you can pick it up and carry with you if you want.

Leaf bed. Cone is there for holding the fairy's jewelry when she sleeps. Also she can hide whatever secret things she has in the depths of the cone.

Bedside reading. This is from the Tale of Mrs Tiggy Winkle by Beatrix Potter. Exciting story and lots of cool pictures.

Feather bottle to store magic faery dust in.

Another book, The Frolicsome Kittens, written in rhyme and illustrated beautifully.

Charms that you can wear as a necklace! They will jingle a little bit as you move and remind you of your resident fairy throughout the day.

These houses are yours if you want! One or both. Pay what you think is fair! y!

Much love.

What I'm Actually Doing

A little something I posted on my Facebook the other day :)

Fairy Riley on Marketing

Meet Riley!

She's hilarious! Don't trick us girls into buying pink stuff! :D

We're All Kept Alive by Magic

.
Bill: I have no heart-beat. I have no need to breathe. There are no electrical impulses in my body. What animates you no longer animates me.

Sookie: What does animate you then? Blood? How do you digest it if nothing works?

Bill: Magic?

Sookie: Oh, come on Bill! I may look naive but I'm not, and you - you need to remember that.

Bill: You think that it's not magic that keeps you alive? Just 'cause you understand the mechanics of how something works, doesn't make it any less of a miracle... which is just another word for magic. We're all kept alive by magic, Sookie. My magic's just a little different from yours, that's all.

(This True Blood conversation is my favorite tv/movie moment ever...)

Buffy Sainte-Marie found this passage in Leonard Cohen's novel "Beautiful Losers." She sang it to him once and later recorded it - "God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot". Lately I've been inspired yes, by this song, by my current reading, by drawing fairy mandalas, by anxiety, by music, by Mexican folkart, by love. I'll talk more about folkart later. Now, need to go hooping <3 LOL that's my Facebook profile pic at the moment:

KREATIIIING! ✩

So I've been doing lots of art stuff! Makes me happpy. Well at first I was stressed out. That's how I thought of starting to draw again - to let it all out in this form. But after just two creepy pieces my worries drifted away. Here's the first one I made:

And this is the second one, a fairy suicide note:

My creation station:

Here are the rest:

It's Time to Blossom - with a pretty earring I found on the ground :)

Seastars

Capish?

Krishna

Rainbow

Fairy Castle

Blue Fairy Mandala - I just finished this. I'm posting all my art things on Facebook, friend me if you want to see them or give some of them a home <3

This is what I'm working on now - putting Jagannatha face in the middle of the reddish one :D Ok, back to "work"! <3

Special 12 Nights of Christmas

Heartwarming magical times and adventurous new year to you all! I heard that today, December 25, until January 5th 2012, begins special 12 nights of Christmas. The dream you see every one of those nights corresponds to the coming 12 months and shows what you should pay attention to next year.

I had a sweet start to this. Last night I was browsing through a magazine and saw an advertisement for a movie called 'Fairy'. I dove into the picture. In the fairy world, the bad fairies had won and all the good little fairies were flying in a line to a point where they all, one after another, exploded into shards of glass.

It's a dark and rainy night. All the good fairies pop through a portal on top of a skyscraper and they look like 17 year old kids with black clothes. A bit confused, they still proceed in a line, with determination.

I see the view expand from the rooftop to above the city. I see the buildings, city center, then move over the suburbs and finally over the beach and the ocean. I watch the horizon. It's so beautiful I almost start to cry.

A man is squirming in an office, about to report results to his boss: in about 48 hours a tsunami will come from that horizon.

The good fairies didn't know this yet, but now I know why the bad fairies won and the good ones got pushed here to us - their destiny is to save the world, within the next 48 hours.

'Fairy', soon in a movie theater near you!

:)

PS. I'd like to thank all lovely flowers for the gifts you gave me, I LOVE THEM!!!!!! So many dreams came true I didn't even know I had them all!!!!! I'm excited to play with all my new toys (literally!), wear all my new things and fairify my house with all the art and decorations! Merci! Danke! Kiitos!

AFTER:

Winter Time by R.L. Stevenson, written in 1885

"Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, 

A frosty, fiery sleepy-head; 

Blinks but an hour or two; and then, 

A blood-red orange, sets again.

Before the stars have left the skies, 

At morning in the dark I rise; 

And shivering in my nakedness, 

By the cold candle, bathe and dress.

Close by the jolly fire I sit 

To warm my frozen bones a bit; 

Or with a reindeer-sled, explore 

The colder countries round the door.

When to go out, my nurse doth wrap 

Me in my comforter and cap; 

The cold wind burns my face, and blows 

Its frosty pepper up my nose.

Black are my steps on silver sod; 

Thick blows my frosty breath abroad; 

And tree and house, and hill and lake, 

Are frosted like a wedding-cake."

poem: Robert Louis Stevenson
