Sylvan Wreath

The autumn king of the northwest woods

Lay down his crown to rest and dream upon the pebble strewn mossy carpet of forest floor

Opening his heart to the permeation of birdsong

He came under the spell of the charms
Charms dangling within the branches of leaves

Made by the wood witch of the northwest woods

Even Elves

even elves 

are 

curious about fairies

yesterday we hiked to a frozen waterfall

ice does such marvelous things

Scribble Picnic: Blanket

the night forest was 

lit up

by the light of the full moon

wrapped in a blanket

to keep the autumn chill from her bones

she walked through the night

Fairies and Elves

recently i sketched these faces

then over a week colored them

 

 some of them changed quite a bit from the sketch

 each face is about 1 inch square

not always easy to add the details

which can effect change

little characters

perhaps fairies and elves

or

primitive girls

Charlotte

i sat sketching her

and 

my mom appeared in the drawing!

I showed it to her and she loved the bird on her head

and said the snake could not be her more

she said she once folk danced with a snake wrapped around her like this

i did not know

but i do remember her picking up snakes with glee

and huge tarantulas (spiders)

she has always loved animals

and 

she is a beautiful redhead
