APPALACHIAN YELLOW FAIRY
Of all the fairies I have known Solena is the only one To come out from daytime hiding To dance in the light of the sun. She loves the rays of golden splendor And the feel of freedom and delight. You can find her amid buttercups If you have extraordinary sight. She is the color of the sun, She darts among yellow blooms with speed; Like dandelions and yellow violets And on the flowers of rattlesnake weed.

WINGS
O that I had the wings of a dove For then I would fly high above The cares and struggles found on earth, Through and beyond the clouds' upper berth Into a place of uncommon things Where enchantment and lightness brings A greater freedom to explore Fantasy, fairies, and all wings that soar. I would dip and dive like a bird at sea Into wingspans of creativity, And on the coming back of my flight I would reenter earth with delight Empowered in soul, mind and heart To create and enjoy all forms of art.

I've
recently opened a shop
at Etsy.com....Here is a view of some of my creations in my DZFANTASY shop out
on Etsy. To get to my DZFANTASY shop, just click on the "dzfantasy"
link below the photos or click on any of the photos "thumbnails" to
take you to that particular creation.

Each of my creations are truly one-of-a-kind, designed and individually created by me. No two are alike!! THAT JUST WOULDN'T BE ANY FUN!
I individually needle-sculpt and hand-paint each of their faces, using 100% silk tussah fabric. Tussah silk comes from wild moths whose main diet is oak leaves. The ethnic faces are silk tussah fabric which has been hand-dyed in various shades.
Their hairdos are created from quality imported designer yarns (from Italy, France, England), in a fantastic array of colors and textures.
Their accents and adornments range from Swarovski crystals, Czech glass beads and crystals, various semi-precious stones, silk flowers, pieces of old jewelry, necklaces designed from colored wires and beads, or accents around their waists. The mermaids are accented with real star fish, sand dollars, and other shells, as well as Swarovski crystals and glass beads.
