Where exactly do faeries come from? Enchanted hedgerows? Fissures in the ancient English Ley-Lines? Overactive imaginatons?
Well probably all of the above but certainly Kathy's crafty hands too.
They generally start with the fabrication of limb-lets.
Put in box and set aside.
Fabricate heads.
Ready for buckram and gluey layer.
Let dry
Apply some paint and dress in fantastical garb.
I never met a bald faery so wispy hairs are a must.
Start with some ribbon. Apply glue.
Smoosh down colorful feathers.
Cut to whimsical length.
Fit to bald pate.
And style to taste.
Now some wings.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
A bit of gentle open-back surgery.
Don't forget ze strings.
Done!
Look for these little dudes in Queen Titania's entourage at our next show.
