King Vorest
September 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
King Vorest has a face, and I took a pic during his hair check. He’s very handsome, if I may say so myself. He will be one of the rewards that “Bramblefolk” backers may choose from, along with a few other loveable characters, such as Elderberry... (Read More)
Fireplace
September 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Who wouldn’t want to sit in a comfy chair with a book beside this fireplace? This will certainly keep Thimbleberry and Elderberry warm on winter nights. I can't wait to finish the set of their home. The fireplace was the largest piece, and I'm very... (Read More)
Wingless Fairies
September 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Tonight I’m working on the fireplace for Thimbleberry’s house - built this afternoon, and now I’m putting the finishing touches on it (grout, soot, and mantelpiece). I also painted eyes for King Vorest, and I will try to sculpt his face... (Read More)
N'Fira Systrarna
September 20th - via: kickstarter.com
The N’Fira Systrarna now have their robes and I’ve made temporary backdrops for them until I can finish building their sets (background images are NOT my own). Each one is so beautiful in her own way. Verna, the Spring Oracle to the East ... (Read More)
Hobdidel Minis
September 18th - via: kickstarter.com
Tonight I’m showing a few of my mini Hobdidel fairies. Many of you might not even know what they are, so I thought I would share what they look like. I developed creatures called Hobdidels (HOB-dye-dulls), which are essentially opossum and... (Read More)
Filling the Larder
September 17th - via: kickstarter.com
I sculpted all of these delightful winter veggies, mushrooms, and apples today. My kids are particularly excited because we have all of these in “not fairy size” on our own countertop. 😆 I even made some velvet shank mushrooms since TBerry... (Read More)
Cider
September 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Today, while I was working on a couple of commissions, I made a hot drink to sip and soothe my condition. As I enjoyed it, I started thinking that maybe I should include some of my favorite recipes in the back of my book. For example, the treacle... (Read More)
Oracles with Headpieces
September 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Guess what, everyfae - we are nearly halfway to reaching my goal!! That is so awesome!! I've spent my entire afternoon on finishing the headdresses for my Oracles, and I'm so happy with how they turned out. I still must make over coats for them, but... (Read More)
Cookies
September 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Today I made treacle biscuits (molasses cookies). On Kimball Island, where I spent my childhood summers, the first thing I’d do after getting off the boat was grab a “cookie tree cookie”. It’s a family tradition. I feature these treacle... (Read More)
Rings
September 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Good evening all!! I have been working on a fairy bride and groom commission for a few weeks, and finished them today. They are so beautiful together and I wish the human couple a blessed union. I've also chosen all of the hair and fabrics I will put... (Read More)
Mr. Hinckley the goblin
September 9th - via: kickstarter.com
We're still experiencing some internet burps, but I think it's solid enough at the moment so I can share the goblin I finished yesterday. He's not part of the story, but a character who was itching to be made. Also, we are up to 34% funded, and there... (Read More)
Internet woes
September 9th - via: kickstarter.com
I tried to update last night, but our internet service is struggling and I'm having trouble with the connection - so, I'm on now until the wind changes. HA!! Yesterday I secured all four of my Oracles to their platforms, and they are ready for their... (Read More)
Busy Day
September 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Taking the past couple of days off while I was in the thick of a mini flare was the best decision I could've made. I usually try to push through the pain, nausea, and fatigue, which prolongs the situation. This time, I listened to what my body needed... (Read More)
I missed you all!!
September 6th - via: kickstarter.com
I didn't get an update posted here yesterday because I was down with a migraine. But, I have been feeling much better today, so I've caught up with my work. A visit to the ocean and forest this afternoon recharged my vigor. This is the early stage of... (Read More)
Commissions Today
September 4th - via: kickstarter.com
I spent my day getting started on a couple of commissions. The smaller photo of the collage will be a fairy without hair, and the larger image is of a woodland fairy having her hair test. Tomorrow I'll be back to my story pieces - this is all about... (Read More)

Brief Update
September 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Hi all!! I just popped in for a quick show of my Hermit Krabbe in progress. He's turning out so much cuter than I'd expected. He has been claimed as part of a reward after my book is published ("Bramblefolk" level pledge). I will share his completion... (Read More)
Finished House
September 1st - via: kickstarter.com
The stucco I made last night turned into a sludgy swamp overnight, so I had to start all over again this morning. No big deal!! This time, I used paper clay, and it looks lovely. With the help of my kiddos, we were able to finish the entire house,... (Read More)
Now, I'm An Architect...
August 31st - via: kickstarter.com
This is a late night update - my hands were too messy to post anything earlier. I mixed my homemade stucco for Elderberry's house this evening. Tomorrow, I will start working on tiny shingles and window frames. So far, it's coming along nicely. I'll... (Read More)

Sets and Props
August 29th - via: kickstarter.com
