The Fantastic Flamingo Fairy

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

It’s Labor Day here in the United States and, once again, it finds me at work preparing for sharing the Bluebird Fairies studio with all who stop by during Burlington’s South End Art Hop which begins this Friday September 9th and goes through Sunday.

I’m SO excited! When I last wrote, you met the Weaving Fairy. Well, a few days ago, the first warp I’ve woven in over 8 years was cut from my loom and the fabric I created was revealed. The first thing that leapt out was a project I’ve been envisioning ever since my floaty toy popped at the lake. Here’s a fairy inspired by the creation:

A pink flamingo with white wings floats in blue waves. A hat with green and gold is on its head. A red background eases on either side into yellow. Speech bubbles hold the flamingo's words "I will support emotional ease with slow movements and ease."

Now, that’s a pretty amazing fairy, isn’t it? Just wait till you get to end of this post and see what inspired it!! And…if you’re really excited, I bet you’ll find your way to Bluebird Fairies during Art Hop or after to meet the creation.

So, do find me! I love chatting about new and old fairies and all the other drawings that come out of my non-dominant hand drawing technique.

The Art Hop folks suggested we have some offerings at our studios.

Here’s what I’m offering:

Saturday between 11-1 I’ll be doing multiple performances of my 5-minute Crankie Show, “Accomplishing Big Things”.

On Sunday between 11:30-1:30 I’ll be conducting The Inner Goose Certification Workshop. If you haven’t experienced it before, it’s a short interactive event that uses facts, actions and lessons about geese to emphasize good community practices.

Throughout Art Hop we’ll be having a sale on Magic Fairy Decks. These decks are just $25 and, well, they’re magic!

Looking forward to seeing you!!!

Love

Emily, the Bluebird Fairies, and this fantastic, yet to be named, woven flamingo.
