Fairies creation:
A pinch of sun
Glow from the amber sky
A drop of shining morning dew,
The scent of spring awakening,
Pour the ingredients into a jar
Stir, listen and blow
And at the end… love it

Every Fairy comes from Dreamland. Each one is made from my dreams. Many things inspire me: my childhood, photos, landscapes, and the beauty of nature, flowers, emotions, are enough for an idea for a new figurine to emerge. When I have an idea for a new doll, I prepare eyes, a skeleton, and clay for it, which I keep in a glass jar.
The basis of each polymer figure is a wire braided skeleton and shaped to the chosen pose.
I start making the doll from the head. After it hardens in the oven, I attach it to the skeleton. Then I shape the body of a little fairy. The doll is shaped by my hands, as well as with the use of tools designed to work on small elements. After the modeling is completed, the figurine is baked at the temperature of about 130 ° C. After cooling down, the doll is painted. I usually combine two types of pigments, first I apply a mist of pastel dust, and then paint the figure with thermosetting paints.
When I have a fully formed model sitting or standing on my desk I sand it, and add glossy varnish for lips, eyes, and nails. Then I add clothes and hair on (they are gluted permanently), I also prepare the wings.
Hair: I use the Tibetan lamb mohair, alpaca hair, which is very fine and silky soft to the touch.For larger dolls I sometimes choose hair from viscose.
For clothes, I choose delicate materials, such as the best qualities of cotton. Sometimes I make clothes from polymer clay.
The wings are made of various types of thin and delicate transparent films or delicate cotton fabrics. They are supported by metal wires. For decorating I choose soft and delicate marabou feathers or synthetic fibers. The wings can also be decorated with glossy varnishes, glitters, zirconia, colored pigments, or even with the motives from decoupage napkins! The wings are usually removable for safe travel to the new home. & nbsp; & nbsp; If the figurine is sitting on the base, as a base, I use wooden, ceramic, or anything else that catches my eye! The figurine is also removable from the base from safe shipment.
If you dream about a specific figurine, write to me, I can fulfill your order individually. If one of my fairies has caught your attention and won’t be forgotten, let me know, I can always make her sister or brother! It will not be 100% the same doll, but will be in the same style, dress, wings, hair, eyes.
