A woman dressed as a faery, in a tan tattered dress with a bustle made of shelf fungus. She is against a background of green tangled trees, and she leans on a giant mushroom.

Last fall I was approached by Enchanted Living magazine and asked to submit something for their spring mushroom issue. I created a mushroom dress and worked with @autumnlucianostudios to capture portraits that made me feel like I was in a fairytale.

Flat lay of enchanted living magazine nestled among foliage and mushrooms. The magazine is open to a page of a woman in faery wings wearing a dress with a shelf fungus bustle, leaning against a mushroom as big as her.

A quick sketch on blue pencil from a few nights ago. I actually love how the softness of the pencil gave it a soft focus, dreamy quality.

I am a maker of magic, and I need to remember that even (or perhaps especially) now, that is important. It's hard to create. But if I can share even a tiny glimmer, it's something.

Tiny faery sketch I did over breakfast, 3x5in
A blue faery in a tattered dress and flower crown stands on the mossy root ball of a tree stump. The moss lumps form the faces of old men.

Detail shots of the custom troll tail I created for artist Brian Froud. Tooled leather, watches metal trinkets with meaningful motifs, hand sculpted hag stones, and vintage fabrics. #brianfroud #faerie #faecosplay #thedarkcrystal

Sharing some older sculptural work as I work on new pieces I'm not ready to share yet.

I sent off my last in stock set of these wings this week. This design was created with the generous permission of artist Brian Froud, based on the cover faery of his bestselling book, Faeries. I'll be making more wings soon, so feel free to reach out if you'd like some. #faeries #froud

Been working on another sculpt. Original done in #monsterclay and then cast in resin. I'll be doing some of these in cold cast bronze as well.

My first experiment with cold cast metal! This is an original sculpt done in cold cast copper, and oxidized. What else can I do with this technique?

Another of the gorgeous shots @russturnerphoto.bsky.social took of me. Wings by me, glowing antlers are a collab with Woodside Animatronics, and I'll have 5 pairs available after the new year.
