The Fuin Fairy comes out this time of year: She is a symbol of the end of summer. Here she is resting on hydrangea.
Picture
Here she is without filter.
Picture
Her applique is made of rose petal, petals of cornflower and a sprig of green.
Picture
Her skirt is made of chenille and sprigs of green.
Picture
I'm making more of these, which will soon be taken to Brambles, the shop in Belfast that carries my fairy dresses.

Forest Fairy spotted

As we approach the Autumn Equinox, there has been a lot of activity in the woods. The Wee Folk have been gathering all season. Here's one spotted taking a rest.
Picture
Her dress is yellow and pale green to blend in with the still green ferns with a yellow applique.
Picture
I bought these flowers at the United Farmer's Market of Belfast at one of the farm stands.
Picture
The grass sash and dress underskirt accents are called Explosion Grass, which I got from a florist in Blue Hill.
Picture
Stitched up the back with pale green thread.
