Fae Findings with a twist, on the rocks, with a pink umbrolly

* Behind the Scenes images by Barnaby Cooper *
of the Recent Flutterbydaisy Fashion shoot by Danniella Jaine with Flower Crowns and Feather Headdress by Rouge Pony and Jewels by Bionic Unicorn
Danniellas photo set to follow shorty and I simply cannot wait!

We made a little video too... this is the extent of the film crew, me and Barney; we are director, camera man, grips, runners, cinematographer and editor.... :)
find the finished video here and on my YouTube Channel at some point in the not too distant future with music to be added by Lilies On Mars... lalal la lala la laaaaaa

...Took my Instax Mini out for the adventure too... but I only had 4 frames left :(

FLUORITE:
'... is capable of enhancing intuition by making the link that exists between our human mind and the universal consciousness more transparent.'
... I found this one before, he sits on my shelf and talks to me when it's quiet ...


The Story Of The Shoot

...This dream came to me not so long back - a new poster is what I was after to send with all the dresses I make... Danniella; the perfect photographer for the job, because she's a fairy too... we've known each other forever but only just met. Now I wished we lived closer for often-every-day-tea-parties and such. The dresses for the shoot are all made inspired by Fluorite and will be available to buy from my Etsy Shop mid April.
I fell into the Rouge Pony shop and fell in-love... Karin and I then did a craft swap; Flutterbydaisy Frock for a wonderful Feather Headdress which inspired me heaps and put a whole new spin on the whole poster idea, shoot and video. The cream on my bun was having the Jewels by Bionic Unicorn, which is where I bought my first Etsy finding from long long ago; a pretty Key necklace with a cute Dragonfly pendant... the four cherries on top were of course the four pretties Danniella found for us to play dress up with... Can't wait to see the final set... I'm super excited....

Some inspiration from Bionic Unicorn, Rouge Pony, an Indian Chief and some Fairies:

... And some more Fluorite, Fairy, Feather fanciful findings from Etsy land, and of course where to find them...

Tales From The Treehouse

Road trip; adventure time, with a pretty day and prettier night time. Tiny maps and take away cheese, melt downs and pick me ups, then everything was sunny. We got lost all over and followed all the blue dots. No questions said the snail in a shell as she retreated to her place which is always colder... she will learn to talk with the other animals she swears because her bird, you know, my bird, he's right and lovely: the loveliest. There will be many more adventures to come, I can feel it in his fathers...

On a dark dark night in the dark dark woods, we went for a walk...

We went for a walk in the woods, forgot the torch, took some photos... we will be back here soon near the lying tree but with cups hanging from branches with ribbon, under the sea jewelry, Flutterbydaisy frocks... and a torch.

Another day, another magazine subscription: Mollie Makes is the cutest... this issue, full of rabbits and that's the way I like it.

I can't seem to escape Alice in Wonderland, not that I'd want to...
here are some pretty things I found down the Etsy rabbit hole:

... And where to find them : one : two : three : four

My favourite version is this one by Jan Svankmajor...
she is the stroppiest by far, said Alice
...so I made a dress inspired by hers which you will find here and here...


Tales from The Treehouse

Back from the dark woods and across Westwoods, we found a group of trees to join and share our picnic with while tiny planes loop-the-looped over head. It was less cold on the blanket and the dog didn't see us for the hills. I saw where we would like to hide too, on the way home, past a real life tree house... we would have to go in the night though; forest squatters. Shhhh. On to watch an Edgar that was all wrong, they couldn't quite get it right... at. all. Entertained though by it, you and popcorns. Mmmmm...

...In other news...
Every other minute and some in between is sewing time, getting everything ready for the big shoot at the end of the month; we're driving to see Danniella Jaine who will be taking photos of me and five bunny girls in my frocks adorned with jewelry from Bionic Unicorn and headdresses from Rouge Pony. There will be movie making too hopefully... I couldn't be more excited even if I woke up with a bunny on my face.

insomnia, inspired, in, inside, indeed...


Today I was given a pretty gift, a book; History of Fashion. I'd forgotten how much I love the 1930's ball gowns, getting lost between the 20's and 40's... no more. I found Loretta Young on a dress-google-frenzy, don't really know much about her yet, apart from I love her frocks...


... So I made a little Lookbook 'inspired by...' : Loretta Bird ...


Tales from The Treehouse

One of these flowers moved; legs. Talked instead of screaming, then she went on her merry-bug-way. Now we are friends. I wonder if she will come back to play? ...

A box of Moths...

This Luna Moth now lives on my wall, it came from a long time ago and ended up wrapped in brown paper... from him to me on my birthday; butterflies everywhere...
I made a dress inspired by all the moths I've seen recently, including the box of moths I felt in my insides... and hung it in my shop

The prettiest images from the latsest issue of LOVE Magazine:

I also fell in love with these creatures... made by Mister Finch (www.misterfinch.etsy.com) go take a peek: more magical embroidered taxidermy treats inside... some of these moths told me, they whispered, they want to live on my walls too,...

Tales from The Treehouse
Turned out my mind made it's own mind up and went with it. It told me what had happened when it hadn't, told me what to think when I knew it was wrong. I've decided not to listen anymore... not when it goes fuzzy like that and doesn't know who it is or where it wants to be or what it wants to do. Wish I could switch it off sometimes, apart from now because its fuzzing nice fuzzes; tuned out, like a radio between stations not thinking of anything at all past my next sleep where I know now I will dream of lovely things, now I'm happily less of thoughts, happy.
