I'll be glad to get outside to check on angels and fairies here too. That's a cute photo! It is bitterly cold here today with snow predicted for tonight. March is a volatile month...anything goes but I'm hoping the warmth will move in soon as predicted by the 'experts.'

Well, Susan, it`s been my hobby and passion to make these creatures for some years now, although I`m no artist at all must I say.

Hello Monigue.
This fairy is like most women, does not like being looked too close, and wants to show only a better part of her. But she gave me promise to show more, although she`s as shy as I`m at least.
As you see she is kind of sad, maybe because of the cold or the difficulties at her birth.

Maaria, you are an artist! I love the little fairy you say is sad. I think she is just thinking deep thoughts! What a wonderful face. Thank you for letting us see her up close! These are wonderful! Please keep sharing.

Thank you Denise and Freddie you are so friendly and polite.
If you like them here are some more.
I think they are probably more elfs than fairies.
This fellow is mostly seen in the evenings just before the dark.

Hi Susan.
I have not sold this creatures because this is just a dear hobby for me and there are a lot of failures in a year. I also can`t make them as many as I should like to because I must burn them in a local school`s owen.
I must admit my garden looks strange crowded with different kinds of creatures but I feel very strongly that garden is a magical place, and I try to figure out it`s spirits this way ,I think.
