Trip to FL and Contest Piece #2 Is On Display

Wow, lots of things to blog about, first a quick pic from our trip to Florida.  And we promise we didn't just go to forage for faerie house supplies! ;)  Though we did find some great parts of palm trees and black shells.  I'm excited because black is such a hard color to find in nature, and there have to be some gothic faeries out there!
 Here's my fiance Edmund on the beach looking for shells early one morning.

 Next, update on the miniature contest; all the entries are in and on display at Miniature Designs.  Mine is next to one of my best friend's pieces! (Amanda Carmen)  She did a great piece of a mouse that is using only human sized things he could find around.  If you don't recall the rules of the contest, check out my past post on it.

NANOWRIMO

If you can pronounce 'nanowrimo'...you might be a writer.  Next month, November is National Novel Writing Month.  You are encouraged to write 50,000 words in the 30 days of November of any novel, any genre.  Nanowrimo stands for NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth and I just signed up today!  I am allowed to start planning before November, but no actual writing until November 1st.  I encourage everyone to be apart of this and use the available motivation to help them get that idea that's been floating around started.  To win, you just have to finish your 50,000 words in those 30 days.  Good luck! <3

My Second Faerie Miniature Contest Piece!

So I am about to turn in my second faerie miniature contest piece ever!  you might remember the library faerie that lived inside the book was the first one.  This contest is being done by my local (an hour away) dollhouse miniature store, Miniature Designs.  The theme is Christmas in July and we were given a 6x6 base and a tree to make whatever we wanted out of.  Here's a link to the actual contest.
And heres some pictures of my entry, I did a harvest festival including the tree.

 

Personally, I love the greenman face on the tree.  I tried to figure out a way for it to be the tree topper, but i like this better.
