Gigi

This is Gigi. She's sweet and shy,

 loves tea parties and whispering secrets. 

She's new in my etsy shop. 

Waiting in the fairy ring

Inside the circle soft grass waits

 and takes us quickly behind its gate

for a hundred years or maybe more

put out your hands, search for the door

too late, too late, too late

Walking home

meeting friends

I wanted to meet some new friends today

So I went to my closet and dressed for play

I took off my shoes, I took off my dress

I took everything I didn't want to get messed

I put on the head and the big coat that I wear

then I went out the door and looked for the bears

A mergirl

I went to France to find a wife

I found her by the sea

I went to France to find  a wife

A girl to marry me

She was fair of skin and full of life

but on the day we wed

I found she had a fishy tail

Instead of two long legs

Conifer sisters-New in my shop

These two little girls are sprites. 

They live in the forest and take care of the plants, trees (mainly conifer trees) and fungi's that grow there. 

They are usually sweet but have a playful side. For example I caught  them digging up a poor squirrels acorn and reburying it in a new location. They told me if squirrel could not find his 

acorn they would tell him where it was after awhile. They said to me "its just a game". Then smiled at me in the mischievous way that they have.

Flying

Well I meant to do another antique etching collage but the twins would not let me. They said NO! They are pretty selfish little girls and they love the spot light. I had to wait until they had balanced themselves 

just right before they let me take this shot.
