93% of the time I spent working on this I thought it was supposed to be rotated about 120 degrees. Then I realized that what I’d _thought_ was the top was actually the lower left corner. Everything made sense after that.

For this first collection of only faery & pixy home decor pieces I had to go back to an old favorite. Not gonna quote the whole thing here, just the bits you’ll recognize. Go read the whole thing — I never had, until now.

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

— WB Yeats, The Stolen Child

(I feel like Yeats was trying to position being stolen away by the faeries as a bad thing, but tbh I’m not seeing it.)

it's made from:
it's this big:

• the copper wire is from my brother-in-law, who used to fix diesel generators for a living • to him, it’s scrap • to me, it’s YAY FREE WIRE

• many of the beads came home from Pennsic with my roommate • a talenti jar full of POSSIBILITIES

• there are also beads from my Aunt Ann • & from a friend named Elizabeth • also from Lioness Elise, Rose, & Perryn • thanks y’all!

• i found a bunch of the REALLY thick silvery wire in a field somewhere • not too far from the house? i think? • p sure it’s aluminum • this stuff is a PAIN to work with, i had to take my jewelry anvil outside & put it on the stack of plywood • hammering it on my desk made things jump around too much • including my desk • y’all this is NOT a lightweight piece of furniture
