Not Your Ordinary Fairies
I am trying to have finger puppets that coincide with bookplates I'm offering. Cats will be coming, but right now, it seemed time for a few fairies. Once again, I don't want to part with these but I thought I'll make up a doll later on and that will make it easier. These really can serve as little mini dolls - they stand up alone.
You've got your blonde, brunette and red headed fairies complete with sparkly wings.
I'm working on a nativity scene for later this year - perhaps I'll do a version of these as angels for then - I suppose they might pass for angels, though I'll have to add halos and probably do away with the frill.
Anyway, they are fairies to me - on my website I'll be offering them as suggestions when customers look at the three Fairy bookplates I offer on the website:
The finger puppets are listed in my etsy store as OOAK - One of a kind. I have come to realize, I don't enjoy making repeats of anything. (Hence the offer of a pattern for the Easter egg sets). All of the things I'm making take time - and to repeat the same old same old makes my eyes glaze over. What I enjoy about creating finger puppets, dolls, ornaments and even sweaters for grandchildren is the uniqueness of each design.
I am remaking finger puppets that are selling (most are selling from my website, rather than from etsy right now - which is too bad because customers can't rate them and help puff up my ego and my rating in etsy!). But when I remake them, they are slightly different from the originals, which I'm now calling templates.
And there are some other book related trinkets I have on my mind (though I guess these are more book story related). Check back later to see what I mean!
