Here is my newest piece.  I think of her as a Sea Nymph or a Nereid.   This creation was particulary fun for me because the dress in this picture was sent to me by Kelly Brown, a clothing designer from the LA area.   It is covered in faux pearls and was just stunning.

Plus, I had the extra treat of my good friend, Gaston Gilliard, writing this haunting poem inspired by Oceana.  I would love to share his work with all of you, as well.........

Mist and Breath
A goddess from the Faerie realm, revealed herself to me.
A glace from her briny eyes, draw me to the sea.

Is this some vision which lingers, from beyond my waking eye?
Or does sound of surf and sea lull me where I lie?

The ebb and flow, the rise and fall, like breath and heart as one.
Drawing me toward your kingdom, far beneath the sun.

What awaits me in the depths below, far from clear blue sky?
Will I return from the journey, will I even try?

As you turn the sea wind blows, a parting kiss to me.
You make my choice instead for me, you chose to set me free.

Breathless I return once more, to the swaying of the ship.
Why then every morning do I awake, to salt upon my lip.


Author Gaston Gilliard

Just look at all those Green Men!!!

I had a ton of fun at FaerieCon.....Thanks to all the people that stopped by my booth.  It was so enjoyable to meet so many of you in person.                                                                                            

All the bands that played were terrific and I especially loved hearing my good friend Priscilla Hernandez perform again......I can't wait for her new CD!                                                                     And watching the Gypsy Nomads play live was a real treat, too!!!

When I was at FaerieWorlds last August, I had the wonderful pleasure of
making a new friend by the name of Priscilla Hernandez.  She was very kind
also to indulge me by letting me photograph her.  I have to thank my friend,
Tommy,
for all that since he is the person who connected Priscilla and I in the first
place.

I  shared some of the photos I took with him and we each chose a similar
picture to create a fantasy art photo with Priscilla. Tommy and I  are both
now "unveiling them here at Enchanted Folks.  Visit
Tommy's
site to see what he made!
My creation is titled, "The Ghost and the Fairy" and was inspired by Priscilla's
Ancient Shadows CD.

As many of you may already know, Priscilla and her boyfriend, Hector, were
robbed when they returned home to Spain after FaerieWorlds.  I will be
selling this print at FaerieCon  in October(and also on my webstore) and
donating the profits from this print to Priscilla. 

Finally home from a hectic two week trip that ended with Faerie Worlds.  It was great to meet some people from right here at EF, but unfortunately, I think there were a whole lot more people that I missed.  We really should have organized a Merry Meet!  (RdeHwyll...we needed you!!)

Here's a cute little Fairy Dog that wandered about....

Is she real? This Dryad inhabits a tree in the wonderous Golden Wood. She emerges.... emanating with all the grace and beauty of nature....into our world. Hopefully, her magic will never leave us.

The Faerie Realm has kindly granted me permission to share my photographs with the world. It is their hope and mine that these images will help strengthen our will to preserve the planet we share with all creatures....seen and unseen.

As with all the pictures you find here on my page, it is entirely photographic......
