where dips the rocky highland (the waters and the wild #5)

I’d gotten stuck on this one — I had the nails, I had the stick, I had the weird-ass piece of road? pavement? round bit? I just didn’t know how to put them together. So I decided to do my laundry while I thought about it, & found the red plastic bit in the parking lot. Solved!

ten dollars from each faery home decor piece will go to SLV’s Tea Spot • it’s a new queer community center here in Alamosa • they’re good people • & the couches are DIVINE

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.)

• 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

• the nails are all pallet nails • hey, that’s free wood

• the stick is from some firewood we got somewhere? • i think?

• 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!

• the bent piece of red plasticky stuff was in the parking lot just outside the laundromat

• & i do not remember where I found the round piece of road stuff with the hole in the middle • i really do find the most amazing things

it's this big:

• this faerie home decor piece is 12″ tall

• & 9.25″ wide at the stick, which is the widest point
