Selina Fenech has New Art

We want your Fairy Fan Art!

Hello everyone!

I am thinking about adding a new page to my website Enchanted Designs called either Fan Art or Private Collection.

I want pictures of your fairy and or mermaid collections!

What do you do with your fairies after you buy them? Do you display your fairies proudly after you collect them? Do you show them off in a china cabinet? On a shelf? On a table? What room of your house?

Take a picture of your collections and send them to me at emma@enchanted-designs.com please put "Fan Art" in the subject line.

I will add them to my new page to share with all like minded fairy lovers.

I also need a vote on what to name the new gallery! I have came up with Fan Art or Private Collection. If you have a better idea I would love to hear it!

I look forward to seeing your lovely collections!
Emma

P.S. If you know of other fairy lovers please forward this email to them also. We don't want them to miss out on the fun!

Autumn Fairies Fall Pumpkin Fairy Art

Autumn Fairies, Fall Sprites and Playful Pumpkin Pixies

Autumn is my favorite season... the leaves start to change colors to burnt oranges, yellows and reds. The weather cools and I look forward to going to the pumpkin patch to find that perfect pumpkin. I light my hazelnut scented candles and get out all of my fall decorations. This autumn collection is great for changing out tired displays and giving a fresh look to any room during the crisp autumn months. We recommend displaying your artwork in collections rather than hanging only one piece of artwork by itself. This way it will make more of a statement.

Be sure to check out Enchanted Designs this season for your fall decorating needs!

Jennifer Nilsson Featured Artist Sept. 2008

About the Artist:

I am a mother of two great teen sons, the wife to the BEST hubby ever, the caregiver for our infant niece, the keeper of a menagerie of critters, and a child of God...the first and best creator of all!

I still live in the same small town I was raised in and although it has grown into a busy, noisy little place, I would have a hard time calling any other place home.

I love tang, pizza, puffin'corn...and every other 'not-so-healthy-snack' out there, but I'm working hard to change that. =)

I count my family and many friends among the sweetest blessings that God has ever given me!

And I credit several close artist friends for being a constant source of encouragement and for mentoring me along the way. Thank you Holly, Carmen, Lisa and Sara!

How it began:

My introduction to art and illustration came at an early age. As a young girl, summers were spent with my grandmother at her shop of handcrafted wonders in Eagles Mere, PA. An artist of portraits, landscapes, and needlepoint design, Gramma McHenry offered patient guidance and an abundance of encouragement, showing me that there was a magical world waiting in the mind of an artist and in the eye of the viewer and that talents were a God-given gift not to be wasted.

About the art:

The main bulk of my work is created with a mixture of watercolor, colored pencils and acrylics on either Stonehenge or Montval cold press. The paintings generally range in size from ACEO's (2.5"x3.5") to 8"x10", but I have worked larger and SMALLER.

Currently, on the drawing board, is a piece measuring 9"x21 1/8".

Mainly, my subjects fall into the fantasy realm...unicorns, dragons, fairies and mermaids and the beloved Mouser-kins™ , a character line that I have developed and am having great fun working with.

I also work as a freelance children 's illustrator, in various styles and mediums, for both print and online publications.

The only rule I like to follow when creating ANYTHING is that...the final piece...has to make someone SMILE!

Fairy Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party

I have came up with some ideas for those of you looking for a Fairy Inspired Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party.

I don't know how involved you want to get with this theme so here goes...

1. You can buy our fairy cards to use as her invitations to this party (we do take special orders).
2. A fairy print or poster could work as a guestbook. You can have everyone sign it as they arrive so she has a keepsake to frame of the event.
3. You can have everyone dress up like a fairy or ask them to dress up in a nice ball gown and reserve the fairy wings only for your daughter.
4. Make sure you have a nice fantasy or garden like backdrop for pictures.
5. If the sky is the limit, an evening carriage ride for guests and the birthday girl would be so fairytale like.
6. If the party is going to have male guests ask that they dress accordingly also, in suits or something nice.
7. For the cake you can have a tall one with tiers and a fairy figurine or a fairy ornament sitting on top.

If you are wanting something more casual...

1. You can have a fairy tea party. Use the ideas from 1 and 2 above.
2. Everyone can dress up in a skirt or dress and the birthday girl can wear fairy wings.
3. You can have the girls take turns painting each other's faces like a fairy with sparkles and such.
4. Another option is to have fairy temporary tattoos for them to use.
5. For the decorations think flowers and garden style.
6. They can even picnic on the floor if you have a nice blanket or something for them to sit on.

These are just some ideas for you to use. I actually did the casual fairy tea party for my girls birthday. It was a hit. (Of course my girls are much younger and they had everyone dress up like their favorite princess).

I hope this helps!
Emma

Sisters Fairies Victorian Lithopane Lamp by Amy Brown

Victorian Lithopane Lamp- Metal base w/ gold cord 9 1/2 x 5 inches in size featuring artwork by Nene Thomas. Each lamp comes in a nicely designed box, including history and the care literature. These are very beautiful and would make a great quality gift for anyone!

We carry 3 different styles of these great lamps. The Luminare, Six Panel and the Victorian Stands. We can also special order each lamp design in a mantle style. These are more sleek and contemporary. Each lamp comes in a nicely designed box, including history and the care literature. These are very beautiful and would make a great quality gift for anyone! "Lithophanes were conceived in 1827, when it was discovered that a remarkable three dimensional image could be produced by shining light through a carving of varied thicknesses in porcelain. These beautiful transparencies are achieved by first carving the image into beeswax. The translucency of the wax allows the artist to see the result of his labor as he works. A plaster casting is taken from this masterwork, then a fine porcelain paste is pressed into this mold. After drying, the panels are kiln fired to 2300 degrees, to achieve their extreme density and amazing translucency. Over half do not survive this process; a testimony to the difficulty of this technique. We are dedicated to the preservation and continuation of this most unusual art form."
