Whimsy Wednesday & Fini Friday! Faerie Treasures!

Hello Hello!

Welcome to both Whimsy Wednesday and Fini Friday!

I'll be at the Saint Paul Art Crawl this Friday, so this post will do double-duty today!!

Let's start with the whimsical first!

I've more Faerie treasures to show you!

Faerie Dust and a Faerie Message in a Bottle...

The titles of the Faerie Dust bottles are (from left to right) Colours of Spring and Island Paradise.

What is that Faerie Message in a Bottle? 

You'll have to adopt it to find out!!  

Moving along to our next treasure, this is a brand-new, fully-grown Faerie Treasure bottle!

Working Title: Healing from Ages Past

There is a Faerie pebble, old watch parts, a cobalt star, golden rose and shell, a sterling silver wrench (Faerie-sized!), Rose quartz, Garnet, cut-glass "crystals", and more!

Onto the Fini Friday portion of the post!

I was on Walkabout yesterday and discovered a treasure trove of good stuff!!

Photos are below!

I absolutely adore the 'cat buddies' charm and can't wait to see what that grows into!  I already have designs in mind for the filigree chain encircling those cute kitties!  I'm excited to work with all the bits and pieces of the 'galaxy chain' (on the right) as I call it!!! So many fun colours, shapes and sizes!  

The elegance and wonderful mixture of textures of the creation on the left is what drew me to it.  I don't often see iridescent beads cut or faceted in this way.  

I've snapped a close-up to show you what I mean!  

Isn't that just gorgeous?  I've ideas for those as well! 
Tune in to see what they grow into!!

Of course I'll have the Faerie Dust, Message and Treasure bottles with me at this weekend, so stop by for a visit!

Here is when and where I'll be!

The... Saint Paul Art Crawl!

Come on out and see me

Fini Friday! Faerie Pouch Fini!

Hello Everyone! 

Welcome to the final Fini Friday of 2012! 

(It is a bit strange to think in those terms!!!!)

 Last Friday, I showed you a red leather pouch I acquired from a fellow vendor at one of my December shows. 

The pouch contained two empty glass bottles, just waiting to be filled! 

And I have filled them! 

Let me show you!!! 

The first bottle is filled with all sorts of treasures of a sort that a Faerie might desire to keep close at hand!

Let's see what is in there! Hand-felted Faerie stones (from England!), a cobalt Star, Fairy leaf, Quartz Crystal(clear), Kyanite, Amber, a rose and shell bead, a spring, mechanical bits, a Fairy-sized wrench, a heart with wings, a silver leaf, and a sunset-coloured star. 

 The second bottle is filled with Faerie Dust! (I suppose that is predictable, huh?!) As I was securing the cork stopper in the top of the bottle, I noticed that Faerie Dust colours were arranged in rainbow and chakra colours! How appropriate and interesting! I had no plan when pouring in the Faerie Dust save using colours that made my heart sing! Faerie Dust, of course, brings good luck! This is always a good thing to have around!!!! 

Let's wrap up this post with a photo of the pouch fully loaded! 

I really love how this turned out and look forward to using it in the future! 

Maybe you'll see it during a visit at a show and let me know what you think! 

That would be grand! 

Have a most excellent weekend and I'll see you on Monday! Ciao!
