School Holidays and Pixie Elves

Its been a busy few weeks as it has been the school holidays, in fact girlie and the lad went back to school this morning and it is a bit quiet. We had plans to go a few places but because they are teenagers they didn't get up until midday or later so we had to shelve those plans. But I did manage to get them going twice and we made a visit to Launceston Castle.

They hadn't been there since they were at Primary school so it felt like they had never been before and they seemed to enjoy it. In fact I even managed to get a selfie at the top of the keep with them.

The second trip out was to Boscastle and a quick visit round the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, they had an interesting exhibition on about Halloween past and present, worth a visit if you get the chance.

Because it was the holidays I tend not to get much work done plus I had the added problem of my Muse / Mojo / Inspiration and general get up and go had disappeared somewhere. But it did come back for a short while and it was enough for me to make four new Cornish Pixie Elves.

Runestone

 Runic and Runestone I enjoyed making, they both have runes written on them in silver and gold. Each one has different Runes which are Old English and Viking Runes.

The next two Cornish Pixie Elves are large elves and had been in my sketch book for a little while and it felt right to make them.

Cupcake

I've always wanted to make a cupcake pixie elf, I'm pleased with how it turned out and I suppose it would make a great birthday gift with the candle in the cupcake.

Henge


The Henge started off as an idea of a stone circle and I thought a black silhouette would look good. 

I have a few new ideas beginning to swirl around my head so I'm going to grab my sketch book and doodle before they disappear. 
Until next time.
