Mookie is trying out some fairy-ness.



Mookie is also a forest fairy but so unlike Tin Hao's masterful forest fairy. I think there is room for two versions.

Iris


OK, here's my little Dragonfly fairy. Front, including tail piece. When she's in hunting mode her extra legs are disguised as the bows on the front.


Back:


Here are the costume pieces and the accessories; the flower purse and the flower light.
The purse was made with petals at the top and stamen to the bottom to complete the flower look.
The flower light was a flower base with a balloon light nestled in the middle. I used a rubber band to hold it in place and on her wrist.
The wings were made from the fabric marked '3'. I glued it to a piece of thin stencil maker but a single layer was too droopy so I glued two pieces together to make the final wing. It's not as transparent as I wanted but at least they stood out on their own. I put two hooks on the back to hook over the top band of the dress. I didn't think a snap would hold them close enough.


I had to alter my doll a bit to make her into the little Dragonfly fairy, but nothing permanent. First the feet had to go - there was no smooth line without them being removed. Second, I used fake gemstones [lower left] for her eyes to give a more insect look. I guess that would come under accessories.


Dragonflies are carnivores; they eat insects of all types. Here she is out looking for her favorite insect treats that only come out at dusk. Her basket is about full so soon she'll be off to enjoy her dinner.

Aaah yay! All my girls are faeries so I am SO excited for this theme! I have to enter my favorite Adhene (Manx faery from the Isle of Man).

Would you like your costume critiqued by a judge?: No thanks


The Adhene (also known as the Cloan ny moyan) are a type of Manx faery that were once angels that fell to earth. At the size of a small child they are among the largest of the faery kind. They are also wingless beings as they were stripped of them when they were cast from heaven. Since they were too good for the Underworld they now make their homes along the coasts and in the hills of the Isle of Man.

Front-

Meadowsweet is a rustic and hearty Adhene who scavenges fresh corpses at night for pretty trinkets.

Front 2-


Back-

She is a faery of the In-Between (too good for the Unseelie; too bad for the Seelie).

Accessories-

(1) Faery Lantern; holds the trimmings, buttons and jewels of dead noblemen and women she scavenged from.
(2) Swirl pattern bracelet and anklet make up the Triskelion (Isle of Man symbol) where she calls home.

Glamor-

Better not let her catch you dead along the roadside; she'll pick you clean for her collection.

 

I with Wizard join the competition. Thank you for wonderful theme

At once I apologize for my English, because I speak (and write) it very bad. I really hope that despite my awful explanation all be able to understand me.

Finally ready to suit the winter elf. Due to the fact that I am writing degree work, it was limited in time even more than it should be. However, I have finished outfit on time and photographed =)


The costume consists of:
1) Jacket with 5 tails have 3 layers: the top layer - blue chiffon, 2 layer- white gabardine, 3 layer - blue back cloth. The transparent glass beads was sewn on the collar. I have also added to the jacket aiguillette of chains and transparent and blue glass beads.
2) White shirt. Front I cross stitching snowflake. At the collar and bottom of the sleeves, I embroidered with beads of the same snowflakes.
3) White trousers with pockets (you can put anything, if there is a will =)) and a blue belt.
4) boots I bought, but I decorated it with chains and a chain of beads of the same color as in aiguillette.
5) White cloak with a biggin.

Photo: winter elf in a summer forest

A little about the photoshoot. It so happened that I went to take pictures of the birthday of my city (and I just forgot about it). When I went with my friend (she helped me a lot with the photoshoot) to the park, there are very lot of people in the park. We did not expect it. As a result, Wizard has been in the focus ^_^ Nevertheless, we were able to successfully climb a tree (to crawl through the bushes to get to the tree, if I'm not mistaken, it's fir). Then, after wandering in the park a little more time, we could not ignore the lilac, tree is very beautiful and it smell so nice, even I did not want to leave.
In general, everything is as it should be. Winter Elf have first visit to the summer forest. Vizard was happy, though he smeared not only clothes, but also himself. We had a long laundered =D

I have a question(or 10).... I have a fairy character that is represented in two different dolls. I think it would be fun to try this challenge for her, but I want to know if I'm allowed to use them both? Because she is supposed to be able to shift sizes, I would be making the same outfit twice. Would that be two separate entries, or just one? Would it be better to just pick one of her already existing outfits and make a duplicate, or would that be outside the realm of original design?

 

Elfmoon, thanks so much for the clarification. I think I read something like that once, but I couldn't find it again.

I'm in! and just for safety sake, I'm using a doll that is intended as a gift.

Ok! I've finally got my photos put together. The concept I was going for is a fairy in the modern world. I imagine if fairies were flitting around in our world they might draw some inspiration of their own from our styles, and frequent the parts of our world that glow with color. My ultimate goal was to make a modern fairy that still has some elements of a traditional fairy.

Front



Back



The bottom tier is made of white chiffon that has been cut and sewn into the shape of flower petals, the second tier is made of black chiffon, also cut into petals. The black chiffon petals are topped off with purple stretch chiffon with a raw edge. All of the petals are lightly sprinkled with swarovski crystals that were applied by hand. Wrapped around the waist is a very delicate belt made of white organza snowflake shaped flowers, the center of the belt has a flower with two swarovski crystals, with a black organza butterfly on either side, each butterfly has a beaded body.

The body suit is made of a black stretchy fabric with gold threads weaved through out the fabric. The armband is made from the same material as the body suit, with purple stretch chiffon petals, and one petal made of a beautiful shimmery black and purple fabric with silver cobwebs.
Finally, the wings are cut out of neon yellow PVC, and hand etched in a micro chip pattern to give a modern spin to the whole outfit.

On to the accessories! Hidden under the petal skirt is a shimmery garter belt that is adorned with more crystals and tiny glitter accents.
To tie up the hair, the hair ties are made of the shimmery fabric, and sewn into the fabric are strips of neon yellow PVC that has been curled to give it a more playful feel. To add a bit more glam there are gold hoop earrings with gold beads and cute hearts and stars on the side.
The hat is made from a chiffon like material that is covered in golden glue drops and diamond shaped gold rainbow glitter and the band is made of the same material as the body suit. The decorations are made from white chiffon, and the purple and blue shimmery fabric. In the center of the white flower is a pink LED (that is overpowered by the sunlight).



Detail 1


The long sleeve is wrapped with a gunmetal gray chain, that goes around the back and bodice. The belt and wings are illuminated by a black light.

Detail 2



Showing the accessories mostly and the crystal detail on the petals.

I'm humming along nicely so far, I can't wait to see the other projects!

 

I only the other hand have been unmmotivated as late, trying to dig through fabrics I already have and not coming up with anything that matches what I wanted to do so now I'm trying to pull out fabrics that might look good for a fairy and then come up with a new plan for the design. Feeling the pressure but 5 day weekend during memorial day soo I should be able to whip something up.

 

So far. nothing done here. I do have ideas so I guess that is a little help. I always use the Memorial day weekend to plant my garden, so I will have to work in fairy costume time in the evenings. If a cure for procrastination ever becomes available, I will be first in line for it.

 

Not much here either, I did manage to gather some materials, but the fabric I was planning to use seems to have gotten lost somewhere, so I need to re-plan a little. Real Life got in the way for a bit, but the next long weekend will be spent sewing instead of rehearsing.

 

I have my fabrics and my ideas down on paper and hope to start on it this week. I have some stuff I need for the accessories yet but won't be able to get them until this coming weekend. So excited for this challenge!

 

I'm lagging along, just can't seem to get motivated on this one yet! Will try to get something started tonight

 

I'm aiming to finish today since I have another project for the doll meet on June 6th that is going to take a while to do [blue wedding - 6 dolls]. I've been staring at the parts since the first weekend!

 

I'm in work, there is still a bit to do and accessories.

 

I had a slow start, but it's looking like most folks did. I've gotten to almost completion of the outfit, and one of the accessories, but kind stopped on the other one.

 

Yeah, right. Long weekend is here but work has other ideas - no doll time this weekend, either. I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw, there's just no way I can finish this round. Shame, it's a wonderful theme.

Good luck to everyone!

 

I'm just about finished here! I'm hoping to get some nice photos once the weather clears up.

 

hoping to finish today however I still have to figure out another accessory..lol.

 

All done, just have to take the pictures. Hope the weather holds.

 

Just finished the skirt; first time attempting the style and it turned out awesome! I am so proud lol.

That makes 2 pieces done for me and 3 more to go to finish the outfit. I tackled the hard items first though so I hope to get the last 3 finished tomorrow night. Then onto some accessories and photographs.

 

My entry is posted here. I had fun getting the Glamour picture since it was quite breezy and she was really swinging in the breeze. All but two pictures were blurred; even the one I used isn't as clear as it should be. It just got too dark to take any more and what I have is hopefully good enough.
I think she came out quite well and if I didn't like her so much as my little Iris of the lavender hair I'd leave her this way.

 

LadyFeather your design is so pretty, great glamour shot! :i wanna steal your balloon light idea!:

 

A dragonfly fairy. What a clever idea. Your girl is adorable. Love the outfit and accessories. She looks very fairy-like.

 

Just finished..need to find a good spot for photos and hopefully will upload today.

 

could i have an extension please? having my wisdom teeth out thursday but hoping to finish!

 

Unfortunately I will have to withdraw from this round, it was such a great theme but I am looking forward to seeing everyones entries.

 

Please put me on the extension list. I have only minimal progress so far.

 

done...let me know if you'd prefer a more close up Glamour photo. I'm trying out the photos on flikr as my photos off of Facebook seem to disappear from the previous challenges

This was soooo much fun, I had been meaning to make my girl a fairy costume and this really put the fire under me to do it...thanks for another wonderful challenge look forward to seeing everyone else's creations and off course the next Challenge!

 

Put me on the extension list, too, please, please! Internet may be cut off at the end of the week, and I have not made pictures.

Ladyfeather,your Dragonfly fairy such a magical! I love the fluffy tail and a flashlight.Great idea and an amazing execution! Iris as a real fairy from "ZanZarah"

Kitty Blue, Oh! I see real forest fairy! It is a fabulous outfit, I am delighted from wings! Wisteria at the nature look very organic, she is wonderful

Jany, Frenchaddict, very sorry that you failed in this time, I wanted to see your work.

 

I have most of my photos! I should be able to get the rest done by tomorrow evening, I didn't quite have enough free time during the good light hours today, but it'll be nice and sunny tomorrow too for good photos.

 

LadyFeather Iris is great as a dragonfly.....great glamour shot

Kitty Blue Wow, she is a big girl! So pretty as a garden fairy, great job!

Sorry for everyone who has to give up on this project

I'm done but need one more tiny item, I think it's best if I'm put on the extension list ...just in case. Thank you

 

My photos are up! This was a lot of fun!

 

Last minute for extension list! Hit a snag so I will need some extra time. ><

 

could you add me to the extension list please?

PRGerry, thank you very much =) I tried to make this outfit look nice and neat. I hope you liked the photos ^_^
TinHao, Kourin looks like a really King of the forest. Good job =)
namaro, Mookie look so cute, he is pretty.
Kitty Blue, Wysteria have a very cute outfit, i like your choice of fabrics

 

I'm sad that two of you could not finish this challenge; it's frustrating when you have to bow out. But I'm happy to see that everyone else managed to finish. Such a lovely assortment of skills: lots of wire work, beading, lighting, wings, and one of the largest assortments of fabrics I've seen so far. They are all so different from each other. Everyone did such a marvelous job it will definitely tax the judges this time.
TinHao: I had to look up your reference to ZanZarah; that is a very interesting video game and story line. And yes, she would fit right in.

 

On a very limited time budget right now, but had to pop in and see what everyone did. Fabulous job, all, and some new faces/resin kids in the mix! Yippee!

I vote everybody wins! (But I gotta say, Mook totally rocks that green hair!)

 

Thanks to all for your words!
Especial thanks to all designers for magic work and imagination, I think we managed to create a real fairy tale. I want to get acquainted with all the characters, when I was walking under a Fairy Moon. Thank you for this theme!
Ladyfeather, I am very glad that you liked ZanZarah, this is one the favorite video games of my childhood. Thank you and Iris for warm memories!

 

Congrats to the winners! Everyone did such a great job!
