Where the heck is everybody???

​For those of you who have been following Hungry (and for those of you who are new to the adventure), we thought it best to bring everyone up-to-date on where everyone in the Realm of Wymsy and the Shadows' Realm is at and what are they currently doing... 
To start off, we last saw Hewy, Parsley, Cornelia, Efem, and Sprout leaving Parsley's mushroom cottage together to meet with the Sleeping Sisters after receiving a Petal Post invitation.

Spirits were high as Hewy was hoping to see someone he had not heard from in many years and the others were excited as they had never been invited before to meet with the Sleeping Sisters. Even though they had received messages from them several times in the past, now they were being invited into the Hallow Chambers.  The only one who was not excited was Sprout - all he had hoped for was dinner.  I mean, how does one expect a growing teenager to survive without frequent meals?
Picture
Little do they all realize, but this unique meeting could shape the entire future of both the Realm of Wymsy and the Shadows' Realm. ​
Picture
Meanwhile, Nemmer, the Archer of the Elfshot Guild and Cornelia's husband, is off on a mission that Cornelia and Efem started him on.  He and The CAT were sent to find Hungry.  Currently he is somewhere in the forest continuing to follow the trail but where The CAT is, nobody knows.
Picture
While Nemmer (and who knows what The CAT is doing) is searching for Hungry, the inhabitants of The Baron's Mansion in the Realm of Wymsy are also wondering what has become of their dragon friend.  They had last seen him going off to play with Meen, the Pyksee.
Picture
The Baron wonders what has happen to him for he had been hoping for a new adventure. While Griselda, the Dowager, sees Hungry as a new hope for the future. Fiddlefaddle and Sneefle are there to serve and watch over these residents as  Fiddlefaddle is the Baron's BAT man and Sneefle is the Dowager's faithful  servant.
Picture
So where is Meen?  She is off on another mission for Hunter, the King of the Shadows' Realm.  Occasionally she is tasked by him to run messages since she likes to spend most of her time running and jumping (if not also playing practical jokes).  Normally, a tune is all that fills her head when she is jumping, but this time, she too is wondering where her friend was at and if she was going to maybe bump into him as she delivered her latest message.  
So, now that we know where everyone else is, where is the guest of honor?  He is currently somewhere in the forest searching for his lost pillow and trying to find his new friend, Sprout.  Hungry had first met Sprout outside of the Sugar Plum Bakery but lost him as they were traveling back to Sprout's home on the other side of the forest.  If only Sprout had known that the others were looking for his new friend, just maybe they might have found him sooner...

The Shadow King Hears a Rumor...

2/11/2018

​​“The King must hear about this,” thought Meen excitedly.  “If Atian didn’t have the best jumping mushrooms around his cottage to jump over, I would have never heard him and Granny.”
​As Meen rushed back to the Shadows' Realm, jumping over mushrooms, logs, and frogs in her hurry to report to the King, she could still hear Granny telling Atian not to yell at her.  “Of course Dragons could talk – doesn’t everything talk?” Meen asked herself.  “If frogs and fish can talk, why not a Dragon?”
​​Shortly Meen was through the edges of the forest and starting into the deeper, darker, parts of the woods. This is where the sun could only come through the tree tops as small beams of light and wisps.  The Shadows lived here and the bright strain of sunlight was never very strong.  “Ah, home!” smiled Meen.  It was nice to play tag with the sun beams as they poked out, but she preferred to stay hidden in the shadows.
​​“Okay, slow down, catch your breath… breathe…” she told herself before entering the Shadows' King's Receiving Hall.  “Oh how I can't wait to tell him everything,” she mumbled to herself.
​“Tell me what Meen?” asked Hunter, the Shadows's King of the Shadows' Realm.  Startled, Meen prostrated herself before her liege.  “Arise Meen.  You know I do not like that!  Get up!”
Picture
​“My Liege, I have wondrous news.  Granny Flare and Atian have a baby!”
 
Hunter looked at Meen, raised one eyebrow and tipped his head down to look at her, and waited for Meen to say more.  When Meen just stood there smiling, Hunter asked again  “Let me get this right, you are telling me that Atian and Granny Flare have  a baby?”
​​Meen jumped up and down, clapping her hands together and smiling while nodding her head in the affirmative.  “They were talking really loud about it to each other outside of his cottage.  I was hopping mushrooms when I came up on Snoop who was there listening too.  They were yelling about the baby and who on the council would they tell first.”
​​“I will have to see this! They must be very excited. Thank you Meen.  As he turns to leave he thinks to himself..."  I did not even know they were seeing each other, or is the correct term dating each other, let alone now having a baby!"

A Wing is a Wing... or is it?

​Let's play again with a new product that "clearly" looks like it is just right to be used for Fairy Wings.
Picture
Picture

​​First, I tried a couple of different types of paints on the Clearly for Art modeling film to see how they would react with it.  The cool thing with this product is that with hot air, the modeling film becomes flexible  and can be molded and bent.  As it cools, it will stay in the shape it was formed.  Since the clear film can bend, I also needed a paint that bent as well without chipping or peeling.
​Now I am ready to start.  I cut a paper pattern and then traced it on to the film.  A heated blade (much like a wood burner type of tool) was used to cut out the pattern as the clear film is very stiff and difficult to cut with a normal razor. I had also tried cutting this product with scissors and didn't like the results as much.
Picture
​I then painted the lines of my wings on the film with the pattern underneath.  Now here is the "Secret"... after all, fairies do love sharing secrets.
Picture
​I added a secret ingredient to the acrylic paint to make the paint appear dimensional, to give it the illusion of stained glass and to have it stick better to the film....
​                          TAH DAH!
It is Aleene's Tacky Glue.
​I painted the wings with a couple of different colors.  Another secret is that ALL of the paints need to be mixed with the glue.  If not, then when any other color is applied, it will simply wipe off the color below it.  By applying different colors, I get a shading effect that one doesn't always get with stained glass.  
Picture
​​The modeling film is going to be a product that has a lot of potential down the road *smiling*.
Picture
​Here are my wings with some metallic gold and some green glitter added.  After all, no descent fairy wings can lack "fairy dust"... or in other words,  glitter.  A final application of clear fingernail polish is applied to seal the paint from minor scratches over the dried paint.  I now can't rub off the paint, but it can be scratched off.  The nail polish reduces this possibility.
Picture
​And finally... 
​TAH DAH!
​Here are the wings on the Shadow King (aka Hunter) whom you will be seeing more of in the future.
