Faerie Gardens, Bedtime Stories and a Mouse

Pixie Aster

   Home spun Bedtime Stories are a tradition in our family.

Often the fairytales that follow my sculptures
will serve as great night-time tales.
 However, this time the faerie was created in response to a simple
verse about a Pixie who grows Mice instead of Flowers in her garden.
   



We are in the midst of garden digging here at the farm, and it totally intrigues my youngest children to imagine that just perhaps mice can be "grown" by forest Pixies. So, my daughter Angi and I decided to have a bit of  fun and together bring this fairy tale to lifeduring planting season. Angi sculpted these two endearing characters and I worked out the detailing!   
Clicking on the picture above will take you to her auction! I hope you take a moment to meet Pixie Aster and her garden grown mouse, and read the simple little limerick spun by my daughterto her own children.  ...This was so agreeable to our artistic constitutions, that we hope to offer a joint project now and again on ebay.    Angi has started her own art doll blog called Nocturne Fairies.Please do stop by and say hello!She would truly appreciate your words of encouragement as she explores the wondrous art of doll making. Now, I am off to visit some of your studios to see what has been sprouting there!Thank you for stopping by...much love, Rose
