Daffodil Flower Fairy Badge Clip EGADS, etsyTrashion Team, paganteam, JET, etsyBead

Description

Some time ago I discovered a very old flower fairy ornament. Her body was entirely flowers, her head a very nice ceramic bead, and her arms and legs beaded as well. She was strung on wire, so she posed but didn’t dance. I loved the idea, but wanted to adapt it a bit—she was a bit big and clunky, I’d need different faces than I’d been using on the GoodTimers and B.D.s, and so forth. So I hung her near my beading space and waited.

Then, recently, I was lucky enough to find a batch of these wonderful enameled flower faces—just the thing I needed to make the design work.
Some of mine have a vintage raw metal butterfly pin as an upper body—I’ve painted, beaded, & otherwise decorated these to go with the flowery theme. Others have a bead upper body, and there may be other differences as I finish the series, which is limited to 18 by the number of faces available.

They all have skirts of flowers and/or leaves and beaded arms and legs, but the resemblance ends there. Some are dancers and some can be gently posed. They come in many different colors and combinations. And of course, they can be hung from a pin, a badge clip, or a cord. They do need to be protected from seatbelts, purse straps, and possibly samll children and pets. They can be reposed, gently, but not too often. Given this level of care, they will delight you for years.

I am delighted with these little people—they bring warm happy thoughts of summer and dancing in soft breezes. I hope they will also make you smile as they come to dance with you.


This little lady insisted on a badge clip. She says her purpose is to help lighten things up at someone's office.
I didn't argue--it never pays. So here's 5 inches (from top of badge clip to toes of flowered sandals)of sunshiny
playfulness to make your workplace brighter.
