I have been on a very strange journey with the faeries and they took me far away from Enchanted and into strange realms but they gave me to bring back to you. My fine faerie fae friennds. Is a story. Its called the Greatest Faerie Tale Never Told " and i present it here for you. Its not really a story you tell with words .Its not even a stroy you can illustrate. Its a story you tell you tell with imagination.
When i returned from this journey I set down to sketch as quickly as i could the story elements as they were related to me Terrble fevered pencil sketches. .Because remembering what faeries say isnt easy. There words and gestures and there forms seem to slip to the edges of subconcious like mercury rolling off a sphere. but i did remember one thing is how to tell this story to others. They were quite clear on that But i needed help.
Soo i took my crappy sketches to my sister who owns a fabulous art studio and employs a small army of sculpters and i show her my drawings and told her the story fully expecting her to laugh in my face and send me packing. But in the faerie magical way that this tale has. she got it. She loved it. She imediately set about a way to justify the expense of telling it to a larger audience.
She gathered her army of artists and they all heard the tale in there imaginations and we all went to work. Each artist wrpped in the faerie magic and each artist took on a different detail from the story Now three months later the maquettes are finally finished and I can show you Now The Greates faerie tale Never Told and you can hear the story in your own imagination. Below is the sculpture assembled . The final peice will be 20 feet high and approximatly take up another twnety feet of space on the ground. It incorporates work in plastic fiber glass Bronze glass and many other mediums and sits on a mosaic tiled pool .If all goes well its final home will be the MaXX contempary art muesuem In rome where it will stand for years telling the tale to all who care to imagine it I hope you like it. and i hope this little description isnt too cryptic All of the elements from concept ro execution can be found In my pictures .It is truelly the faeries Opus work.

This is the scale model maquette sculpts of the project. Its still in rough form. and in clay. but it gives you an idea. Tell me what you think? and if you havnt had a chance please do go and vote for me.
Special plea for help. and No im not dead. Life has just taken some very strange turns of late. and Ive been working in the (shudder) Private sector. As many of you know im making some huge transformational changes inmy life. And they are very expensive .Far beyond my means to afford. Doesnt mean i deteerred in the slightest simply means I have to work allot harder to get what I need. to feel whole. Which brinfgs me to this special plea to the Enchanted Community. If you have ever liked my art or one of my stories has made you laugh or cry or even if you find me even the slightest bit entertaining at all. I have a favor to ask. To pay for my transformation. I have taken a job with Cooper and Ciunnigham LLC designing Public art works projects aaround the world. The designs alone will not get me to my goal but the conceptual art bonus will. If even one of these projects is chosen I will be able to afford all the procedures nessary to take me from where im at now to becomming the total Femme faerie I am inside. The first of these projects is a sculpture for The St. George Cathedral In australia. I was surpised to learn that the public is voting on this .so if you could please go to he website and vote I promise that if it wins. I will use every penny to do wonderful magic things And I will spread that faerie magic as far as it takes me. Thank you so very much for the Support I love You all heres the addie http://www.sculptureproject.org.au/submissions/view/vote/?id=118

Hi everybody ,I have been in terrible qaundry lately . As many of you know i have more ythan one duality going in my life it may possibly be qaudality or Octality or even more but heres the thing/ On one side I enjoy writing faerie Stories and doing faerie art very much .Sweet Femme creatures in high glamour and flowing gowns. But on the other hand I am also better known in the art world as a erotic artist. and performer. Abnd though some might disagree. i believe the fae to be sexual creatures. .
As i wirte these days trying to stick within the Victorian parameters of what faeries were supposedly said to be I find myself leaning more towards a much older and i think more acurate interpretation of The fae and there function in human interaction.
I brought this up with the Powers that BE here at Enchanted Folk and it was suggested that i start a Adult faerie Group . This would be a private group with age limits and disclaimers and all such safe gaurds to protect more fragile creatures from harm. it would not be a place for pornography or exploitation but rather for expression and exploration of the most elusive and closely gaurded of secrets of the fae. A place where fae can be viewed in context and exaimined as Three dimensional creatures rather than vague archtypes.
But first i thought id throw this idea out there and see if there was any interest before launching a group. Now i dont want this to sound as dry as all that .it should still be playful life affirming and uplifting and yes more than little sexy Possibly gritty even a we bit tarnished around the edges. Things only hinted at in modern fiction and art as it stands now. What do you think.?
feel free to post a comment positive or negative. Its your first impressions Im looking for because Number 1 Im here to enhance Enchanted Folk not detract from its charm. If the fae dont want it then im not going there .All im asking is that I get to know one way or other. its good information to have for my future faerie involvment. Thanks so much in advance for your imput and i look forward to reading your thoughts.
Ok i know that in a rarified atmosphere such as this Politics might be verbotten subject but I had a converstaion the other night with a very fae person and She got m e thinking about the future and where were going and all the suffering going on in the world and so i thought You know what Theres allot of issues in this election state side that are of importance to the fae. So i have no interest in starting a huge debate nor am i going to disclose who im voting for or even endorse one candidate over the other (but his name sounds like dali lama ) All im asking that if that you follow your faerie hearts and please VOTEif in the US because "Hope " My dear friends is a faerie virtue.
My name is Orchid lament and i approve of this message.
