Letters from the Lovelorn Ladies...

1/27/2020

0 Comments

 
In all affairs of the heart, the Bellwether likes to pride itself as an equal opportunist for those that wish to express themselves in the language of Love. 
​As such, this week's edition of the Bellwether is devoted to the Ladies.

Who will be brave enough to come forth in their adventure of looking for Love?

My Roots Run Deep...
​   Don't hide your light under a bush.  Are you someone I can grow closer to?  If so, then long walks along the garden path and dancing in the moonlight are just the things that will bring out my glow of happiness. Meet me at the Entrance of the Sacred Grove at the next Full Moon to see if we are kindred souls.
  P.S. Must love cats and Giggle Juiceberry cookies.

                                ~~Share with me the beauty of nature,
​                                             Efem, Tree Mother of the Sacred Grove
  Come Sweep Me Off My Feet...
     I am a homebody at heart and looking for someone to share the hearth with.  We will spend magical evenings lounging by a spotless fireplace.  Or if being well stuffed after one of my dinners in a well-scrubbed kitchen is more your idea of romance, I have been known to whip up something delightful in a moment's notice. 
    A game of matching the last sock out of the wash is one of my all time favorite matchmaking games.  

                                                       Dust the negativity out of your life with me,
                                                                                  Granny Flare, House Brownie

Do You Believe...
      As a Dowager, I excel at ruling over a large table of guests, but nothing warms my heart more than a lovely intimate dinner for two.  If good food prepared by the best Brownie cook with stimulating conversation and dragon flames glowing in the sconces on the castle walls; followed up by a tasty dessert is your type of wish for a Valentine evening then *RSVP below. 

(*RSVP - Reserve Seating with a Very special Person)  

                                                                                               In friendship,
                                                                                              Griselda, the Dowager
Valentines Day is coming and love is floating in the air - who else will cupids arrows strike?  One of the few immune to this Valentines Day holiday is Sprout.   He can't figure out what all the hallaboo is about with squirrely giggles and fluttering butterfly kisses.  So where is he?  Parsley still has not found that boy...

Letters from the Lovelorn...

​"Morning is my favorite time of the day," thought Griselda.  "I can enjoy the latest edition of the Bellwether and have my fresh cup of tea in peace."

"Now where is that section that Sneefle was telling me about?  Something about the Baron placing a letter again this year," she remembered as the Dowager turned to the Lovelorn page of the newspaper.
"What's this?  Be My Valentine?"  Apparently every year the newspaper publishes a few of the letters it receives from the locals looking for love... "and this year is no exception it seems," Griselda mumbles while perusing the page.
Would you be my Valentine?  
        If you love the enchantment of romance, we can go for long walks in the starlit Moon Garden where the flowers of love bloom.  We could even go along the paths where the Pyksees play as I give you rides in my wheelbarrow.
   If this sounds like your type of evenings, then please respond through Snail Mail to the address below. 
                                                                                ~~~Looking for a Dream

Can She Hear Me?
​       I have given my heart to a raven haired beauty who awaits by the docks each morning to watch me teach the fish how to sing.  She calls to my soul as I sit by the old fishing nets that I don't use anymore.  We  talk for hours of the wonders we have  seen and the places we both still wish to go.  I write in hopes that this letter finds it's way to her so that she might know of my love that is deeper then the deepest ocean.
                                                     ~~Looking for his Soul Mate
​                                                                                Ichthy, the Fae Fisherman
Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places...
  A lady who is ready for an adventure is whom I seek.  Where we would go and what we would do does not matter as it will be a new experience since we will be doing it together.

  Sharing my love for animals (all sorts of strange creatures) would be nice and having the ability to talk to dragons isn't a requirement (but could come in handy).  Please have any health/life insurance paid up before our first date.

"... so, apparently these letters will continue until Valentines Day.  I wonder who will be in the next edition of the Bellwether," she thought to herself.  "I wonder... do I date... I mean dare?"

What the heck is fuzzy body paint?

Have you dropped in to the Tutorial page yet under the Projects & Tutorials section of my website?  It is there that I share my dream with a dash of inspiration as to why I decided on what I was going to do in regard to painting my new character, Sprout.  Sprout is just full of creative energy and he suggested to me that I shouldn't be afraid to take those "leaps of faith" by getting in front of the camera myself to show you what I do.
Magic, just like Sprout, can also be very hard to capture.  Even when he has been (the mischievous character that he is) a fountain of ideas.  He already knew I like playing with the video special effects and thought to entice me with a little shower of fairy dust to show off his face.  Sprout isn't a shy Fae at all if you haven't figured that out yet *smiling*.
Picture
In the meantime, while his head is going through the multiple firings to fix each painting stage, I decided to start on his body.  Sprout shared that he wants his body to be more unique than what I would normally do for one of my characters.  He is a Fae and wants to show his body off after all.  I decided to be different and create his body with needle-felting.  Now needle-felting isn't an art form that happens quickly (especially for larger projects).  It can also involve blood, pricked fingers, and a slight stab or two.
Picture
What does that mean?  I hope to do some needle-felting "painting" on his body.  That means I will be using small pieces of various colors to add dimension to his body.

So, as I am getting Sprout in shape, don't forget to check out the tutorials or maybe stop in for other magical fun.  He tells me that perfection can't be rushed so this might take a few...

And just where is Sprout?

​Parsley has been looking for her son, Sprout, so he can help in the search for the Wish Dragon.  So far she and the Mushroom Line have not been able to find him, making them wonder where he could be off to...
"Oh that delicious smell!  They must be making a new batch of Sugar Plum Muffins! 

I just can't get enough of those sweet delights," thought Sprout as he waited for the next batch to be put in the window to cool.  He could see the baker standing in the doorway hoping he would be placing the muffins in the window soon.
Picture
The Sugar Plum Bakery was his new favorite place (especially when they were cooking) to hang out.  He licked his lips in anticipation as he waited for the muffins to appear.  "Ah, the sweet smells of all of those goodies just waiting to be eaten," as he licked his lips once more. ​
Picture
"I wonder how many I can carry home?  It isn't like the bakery isn't that close to my house.  Oh... if he would only put them in the window soon.  I should really be heading back home," he decided.  "Maybe mom will have lunch ready.  After all, I am just a growing sprout and need my nourishment.  I just hope she doesn't have any chores or errands for me to do so I can still make it back before the bakery closes their doors for the day."
