This is Greta.
She is a baby chrysanthemum fairy. Chrysanthemums are a symbol of hope.
|
 |
| Sometimes
when Greta is sitting in the garden, bees come to visit her, mistaking
her for a flower. She doesn't mind. They kind of tickle. |
|
She
likes to lie on her back under the chrysanthemums and watch them buzz
around with the butterlfies.
|
 |
| Sometimes she
flies around with them. She fits
right in with her pale green butterfly wings. |
 |
She has an
adorable profile, with little pointed ears.
|
 |
| Greta has
hidden button joints so she can move her arms and legs to express
herself. |
 |
| Greta has an
oak-colored
stand that lifts her in the air so she can practice flying, and running
through the air. She enjoys that. |
 |
It fits in
behind her hand-quilted wings.
|
 |
Greta is
entirely handmade by me. Her body is made of 100% cotton, from my own
pattern, and is
painted
with
acrylic paint. Her bottom is weighted so she can sit nicely. She has
an antique reproduction baby face made from papier
mâché. Her ears and head are made from paperclay.
Her chrysanthemum hat is made of fabric flower petals, joined together
with
paperclay.
|
 |
| Greta is
approximately 7 inches tall when seated, and approximately 9
inches long when lying down. She is approximately 11 inches tall while
hovering on her stand. Greta is
meant for display only. |
 |
| Greta also
comes with a hang tag. It is signed as well.The
picture on his hang tag is "Fairies and Butterflies", and
original
watercolor painting by me, Elizabeth. A giclee print of
"Fairies and Butterflies"
is
available here. The
print goes very nicely with Greta's
green onesie, her yellow
buttons and collar, her pale
green chrysanthemum petals, and the green of her wings. |
