Walk Like an Egyptian

Love this picture from Tiggy. Thanks Tiggy for the warm welcome.

 
Loved the dancing in this and the combined music is great. I have no personal connection with the music, I just liked it. Please don't be offended.

What! More dragons?

It's not all about dragons. What about Fairy wings!
They are beautiful, but I haven't yet worked out how to make them stay in place.


Rivet is just showing off standing on his hind legs, or is he trying to be taller than Kirscha?
Leaky in his tub, Dinky Dino hiding behind and baby Rivet in the front.

Cheeky Rivet posing!
He is truly amazing. Everyone who has held him thinks so. Hubby thinks he's incredible.

Baby Rivet and grown Rivet made by two different artists.
I had bought large Rivet and was inspired to write a story about him and Kirscha. I then needed a baby Rivet and found this little fella.
I haven't yet finished writing the story about them, but hope to share with you all eventually.

He is removable from the blue glass pebble.

Kirscha's wings are resting on the bath! These two look out of place in this modern setting.

I just had to have him. No doubt he'll show up in the stories somewhere. I love tiny toys!

Goodies!

I have discovered that if you click on the pictures and then click it again they come up huge! So if you want to see the details, click away.

I have lots to share with you.
Paints for the outside. Grey to touch up the existing grey, pale aqua for the windows with the darker one for the lintel (the peaked thing above the windows as I'm not sure if that's the right word). A selection of brushes.

The lounge rug (Zebra) and curtain fabric (leopard print) and two vases.

Hand painted. A rare find that I simply had to have for Kirscha's personal lounge. The colours work better in the dining room, so they may go in there later.

Blue is transparent and white is GID (glow in the dark)
I hope to make some dragon eggs.

Fairy case for all of Kirschas clothes and wigs.


That's all the inside info on the goodies to date.

Hoping for a friend

Orange dragon by Blitzava
This darling dragon has just come back on the market and I'm hoping I can snaffle her. Wouldn't she be wonderful for Rivet? I've nicknamed her Clementine. LOL that's a bad sign when you give them a name. It means you can't eat them! No... I don't mean eat, of course not, I meant harm... yes, harm, no harm, I mean no harm. Cuddle, yes, that's what I meant, I can cuddle her. Oh dear, she really needs to come here and rescue me from myself!


I bought her!!! She even revealed her name in the night, Blissemloare, or Bliss for short. That told me. Clementine! NEVER, LOL. Rivet is going to be beside himself when she arrives. I'm so excited. These are wonderful creatures. Thank goodness for commission.

Rivet meets his keeper

In my hand! He's so small. Only 3" from his head to his amazing toes.

I've got a dragon eating out of my hand. *ggg*


"I can still bite, you know"


Cuddles with Kirscha.


She can ride him, but it's not the best as he's a bit small for her and her dress is too tight.


But he loves snuggling into her hair and she loves giving him hugs, so I can't deny them their pleasure.


'Leaky' the water dragon arrived today, too. He's an OOAK by Nicky CC. He'll show up in Kirscha past.

They are all so cute together, though he won't be with Rivet in the story. He looks all fluffy in that bath.
The dragons are part of Kirscha's past/faerie life.

A fairy dress


Choosing fabric. Light weight net, beads, ribbon, silver thread and needle. There are several layers so that it isn't transparent.

The layers were gathered and sewn onto a ribbon, then the back seam was sewn inside out. A slot was left unstitched to allow for ease. Kirscha may be tiny, but she has big hips!


The top is made from two sections of net gathered and then stitched together using a large bead then sewn onto the front of the ribbon. Note beads were added inside the underskirt layers of net for interest. The top net came with the reflective dots.


Finished dress. Kirscha in her fairy wig.


The back is not perfect, but it does fit. The ribbon ends were glued and allowed to dry. A slot was cut into the longer one and a bead sewn on the other forming a neat closure that has little bulk. It's difficult on something with a 2cm waist!


No straps as I felt they would be too bulky.


The finished dress!

Next time I'll use less layers as they are too bulky. She needs more room to move as she's so amazing to pose.
