Zinnia Fairy

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I’ve not written for a LONG time but I’m pleased to let you know that I’m happy and well and looking forward to connecting with all of you at Art Hop this year. Of course, not everyone will be coming out again because we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Do what feels right for you. Just know, we’ll be safely here on the 3rd floor of the Howard Space Building (corner of Pine and Howard). (though sunday, I might not be. It’s my Mom’s birthday)

This lovely fairy came into my life recently:

Oh, I just love the Zinnia Fairy with its red Zinnia head and green stem. Its exaltations of ‘maintain childlike humor’ and ‘have courage’ ring true in my life as Ted Andrew’s symbolism of animals and plants always does.

As we move through these challenging times please take these words of wisdom into your heart and use them whenever you can.

At Art Hop, along with all the new/old fairies and demons, I’m excited to showcase a new series of Toy Theaters I created using stories people at Art Hop 2020 shared with me about what they’d gained/lost during our ‘Stay Home/Stay Safe time.’ I have been very touched to hold their stories.

One thing that has been a big focus of mine this summer, has been working on a chapter for a book called (working title) “The Afterlives of Puppeteers". I’ll be exhibiting Bread and Puppet Theater photos in my studio from my years with the theater company to keep that project moving forward.

If I don’t see you, be well. If I do see you, wonderful.

Thank you so much for your continued attention for Bluebird Fairies.

We love you!

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies
