Strange New World...

One moment I was getting my "face on" - that is what it is called when one tries to look beautiful with a little face paint, then the next thing I know I am waking up in a strange land.
Now Dreamweavers are weavers of dreams, so it isn't too unusual for us to experience new lands as we help those find their dreams.  But this experience did seem to have a lot of rushing and swearing to it when things didn't turn quite out the way "we" expected. But that all calmed down once I put my clothes on *laughing*...
This land I am in is beautiful and very warm right now.  I seem to be surrounded by others too that are the results of dreams and inspiration, so I am in very good company.  
There is a lot of excitement and people walking around coming to visit with us.  They don't know I am silently observing them and wishing them good days as I sit here spinning my fairy tale on my bobbin.
I keep hearing the word MIDA and that we are being held in an exciting place called the Fortress of Basso.  Oh, the history here and the magic is energetic indeed.

Then it sounds like after this great adventure I'll be off to another one with these new friends I am making.  

So exciting when life feels like a fairy tale come true.

Oh, these little scamps think it is hilarious running around the house with no clothes on!
With them being Moon Babies they really think it is down right belly grabbing laughable that they are "mooning me" (showing their cute little behinds to me) while having me chase them to get some clothes on them.
Almost getting the feeling I am dealing with Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Cat in the Hat series. 
Especially as they haven't shared their names with me, other than Moonie 1 and Moonie 2.  It has something to do about the connection they share with the fairy tale that was born when they were "born".  I think that when their fairy tale becomes more of a tale shared, then they will share their name.
In the meantime, I was able to finally get Moonie 1 to sit still long enough to get some clothes on him and add some hair to his sweet face.  Here he is hanging out with his new friend, Dawg.  He does like to curl up around him when he sits still long enough.

I had to laugh here too as when I was putting hair on Moonie 1, I couldn't resist adding this little curl.  Whenever I do this little "touch" to my doll, I hear my mother in my head repeating this poem to me.
"There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead. 
When she was good,
 
She was very good indeed,
​But when she was bad she was horrid."

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Well I wouldn't say "horrid" but certainly curious and mischievious.  Now off to see what I can do with Moonie 2.

Hazelwyn was still a little shaken by her experience while reading that rare book with Roslie.  She was still working it out in her head as they came back from their mystical trip and seeing the first dreamweaver.
She noticed that Roslie was not having the same thoughts.  It appeared that she was excited to see where this adventure was going to take her as she began gathering up the cups and food wrapping from the Sugar Plum Bakery.  
"Hazelwyn, who is this Arnie and what is it that you expect them to do?" she asked.
"Let's go to my home, Roslie," replied Hazelwyn.  "We can talk better there," she said while she silently thought to herself "and in privacy".
As Roslie and Hazelwyn went to leave the library, Hazelwyn took a quick look over her shoulder before leaving the building.  "It never hurts to be aware of who is watching, let alone listening," she thought to herself.  Not seeing anyone paying any attention to them, she turned and followed Roslie out of the library doors and into the street to see if they could locate a Finder. 
In the meantime while Roslie and Hazelwyn begin looking for Arnie, I have a new DreamWeaver to bring into the story.
Now I am not a big fan of AI (artifical intelligence), as most of us artist feel it can stifle creativity.  I choose to use AI as a "tool" and not the "answer".  Meaning that it can be used for inspiration when it takes me to places or to creatures I might not have explored or known before.

In this case, it was something about those long ears that I could see might be a challenge for me to sculpt.  I fell in love them on this Elderly Fae.  Would I even be able to get them out of the mold, since I like working in porcelain?  I didn't know, but the first challenge was to begin the process of bringing her to life through my sculpting.  After several sessions, I was pleased with how she turned out.  Now to the mold stage I go.  Will she make it?
While we are waiting to see if my new creation will make it through the mold stage - back to my "policy" on AI.  To read more - click here to see my take on using it.  The  only other thing I will add is that I do use some AI and several other graphic art programs to help in creating pictures for my storytelling (which the story is never done with AI), so that you experience a unique "peek into" their world.  Without some computer magic, their story might not reach as many who need a touch of whimsy in their lives.

What is Revealed...

"Those crumpets were delicious Roslie," Hazelwyn said with another swipe of her tongue over her lips as she tried to catch each tasty morsel. "Now it is time to get back to my research."  As Hazelwyn said this a small cool breeze entered the room.  Just the type of breeze that sends a slight chill down the back of the neck. 
Hazelwyn returned to the book she had been reading as Roslie moved closer to see.  "It says here that Hag was of the Moon and the Stars.  The other Guardian was of the Earth and Woods.  It took her magic and feminine arts with his male brawn and... " as Hazelwyn paused in her recital as Roslie did a little giggle.  "Do you see what else she wrote?" Roslie asked.  Before Hazelwyn could answer, she continued "It said and I quote, 'should I say little thought to help open the doors to our Realm.'  Apparently Hag has a slight ego about her importance in the plot of things."
No sooner than Roslie finished saying those words, a great gust of cold wind came through the room.  Both Hazelwyn and Roslie looked at each other wondering who would have opened a window, especially in the restricted area of the library.  
Suddenly the book began to glow and the wind rippled the pages of the book before them.  Immediately the Spinning Wheel image began spinning and then it unexpectedly jumped off the pages of the book.
As the Spinning Wheel twisted and turned, it finally landed in a strange room along with Hazelwyn and Roslie who had been sucked into the room with it.  The two sat in a corner of the room and stared at what was happening before them as if they were in a dream.

​Before them they could see an old woman puttering around in her small kitchen.  Then they heard the knock.
A younger woman entered the hut and Hag spun her a tale and a dream.  To discover what that tale was click here.  After Hag gave the woman her dream, instantly Hazelwyn and Roslie were back in the library.  A little shaken and windblown, Roslie looked around the room and whispered to the other, "What just happened?"
In awe and also in some shock, Hazelwyn replied, "We just saw the dream that created our world.  That was a portal in time that was opened for us to see."
"I know that Hag is no longer in that hut," Hazelwyn said, "But I have a feeling we are suppose to find that hut again."

"Do you think we could?" asked Roslie.
  
"I do, especially with the help of Arnie who is now a Finder of Lost Things instead of being a Borrower of Others Things," Hazelwyn answered.  "It is important to locate the hut and find the door key to it as well."
"Well, in that case, let's get started,"  Roslie said as she picked up the dirty dishes from their light treat.  "Just where do we find this Arnie?" she asked.

"Yooohhoo," Roslie said in a loud whisper.  After all, she was in a library and you don't just go around shouting even if you are carrying some goodies.
Hazelwyn looked up from the book she had been delving into for the past half hour to see if the library clerk had finally showed up.  Deciding the best way to know was to take a short break and find out who was making all the noise - especially in the Restricted Area of the library. Coming around the corner she was met with a surprise.
"Hi," said Roslie.  "What an amazing library this is."  All that Hazelwyn could focus on was the tea in Roslie's hand and that she was holding a bag from the Sugar Plum Bakery.  "What are you doing here?" Hazelwyn asked.  Roslie smiled as she replied, "I overheard an anxious library clerk placing an order for you and thought I would  help out.  He seemed to be quite nervous, like he never has left the library building before.  So yes, I  have some tea and crumpets for us to share.  What are you working on?" she asked curiously.
"You are a life saver, Roslie but I must get back to my research," Hazelwyn told her as she reached for the sweets Roslie had brought.  She then turned around to return to the book she had left open on the table.
Roslie followed Hazelywn to the table and seeing the ancient book,  she read upside down the name on the page that it was open to, "Hag, the Dream Weaver".  With an eagerness to her voice and a touch of meddling thrown in, Roslie asked, "Who was she and what is a Dream Weaver?"
Hazelwyn looked up at Roslie and asked "Will you keep what I tell you to yourself?  Not share it with anyone, even your sisters the Roses?  Cross your toes and bite your nails?"  Roslie looked back at Hazelwyn raising her hand as she replied. "I will not tell a soul, or a bump in the night, or a living thing!  Now who is this Hag?"
"From the Tales of the Old Ones," Hazelwyn lowered her voice as she pointed to the image on the page.  It is said that Hag was an Elf of the Hawthorn Woods. She was called the 'Weaver of Tales,  Spinner of the fabric of Dreams and the Guardian of The Veil between the Worlds'.  I even read she loved sitting in the space of Between and Betwixt and drinking her favorite tea of Dreamwhisper Chamomile & Moonpetals.  It was there, according to the Old Tales, that the Realms of our Worlds was created."

"Wow!" Roslie said.  "Oh, I want to help.  If I keep the crumpet and tea supply available, will you let me assist you in learning more about the Dream Weavers and Hag?"  Reaching for one of the crumpets, Hazelwyn knew that Roslie could be a valuable ally.
​Taking a bite of the crumpet, then swallowing, she reached for the cup of tea.  With the cup in her hand, she raise it as offering a toast and said, "We will drink to our new friendship and mission."
