The Reindeer Muse. I’m making more small-batch fairy dresses for the summer!    The Cranberry Fairy-dried white petals    This is the Reindeer Muse, the Queen's own poet. Every day, she alights to a sunny spot to collect the sun and her thoughts for a new verse she'll take back to the Queen and court for the evening.  This lovely "Wee Folk" handmade fairy is made from a birch bodice and white reindeer moss.  I use a "miniaturized" setting on my camera to get that blurry, ethereal look, which works so well for the wildflowers in the background.   This is the Reindeer Muse, the Queen's own poet. Every day, she alights to a sunny spot to collect the sun and her thoughts for a new verse she'll take back to the Queen and court for the evening.  This one-of-a-kind miniature fairy dress is made from birch bark and reindeer moss the color of toasted marshmallow.  She is adorned with a sash of pale green curly leaf and an applique of pale lichen and a bit of fluff.
And the bodice is stitched up the back with moss colored thread.   In winter, the Wee Folk retreat underground. Those overturned trees you see in the woods with the roots exposed? Those are the doorways down to a vast labyrinth. They don't like to be there as it reminds them of how mankind drove them off their own land centuries ago. But, like all creatures, they endure and subsist on the food the Hunters and Gatherers collected all summer and fall.  This is the Reindeer Muse, the Queen's own poet. Every day, she alights to a sunny spot to collect the sun and her thoughts for a new verse she'll take back to the Queen and court for the evening.

The bodice is stitched up the back with white thread.  This dress measures 2 inches by 4 inches and comes with its own custom hanger. It can be purchased through our Etsy store.
