A Flutterby Gift

Sometimes, we Faeries like to gather in the Treehouse and talk about all manners of things sparkling!

Yesterday, this conversation was joined by my faery friend Meadow's marvelous face painting! Hooray! Just look at how talented she is!

Beautiful Butterfly Faery by Meadow

Side View! Meadow is soooo good!

Ooh, I feel so lucky to have such lovely and talented buddies! :D

Friends and Fancies,

Violet

Fruitastically Fun!

Oh my goodness gracious.

I just flew back from a festival at the tippy top-east of California, and it was HOT. Hotter than hot. So hot that I thought my wings might melt...and when it is that hot, it is too hard to eat regular food! And when this faery doesn't eat, she gets a bit...loopy.

So what is one to do when it's simply too boiling for regular nourishment??!? Icy cold fruit. Yum, yummy yum yum! And I was so happy about my fruit that I made a small homage to its wonderfulness...along with (bad) haikus.

Watermelon! Wow!
There is no better idea
Than food you can drink!

Not very piney,
Nor are you so apple-y.
But delicious? Yes!

Pink blossoms in spring,
Tart, sweet fruit in the summer,
Cherries, mon cheri.

Apples for teacher,
Like medicine, one a day?
Or - just enjoy them.

Ahh, fruity wonders. I like incorporating teeny fruits into face paintings, because I find them to be less girly than flowers but they are still colorful, and can evoke a strong sense of season!

There will most likely be an appendix to this post, but here is is for now! *smile*

Bumblebees and Pear Trees,

Then...and Now!

Alrighty. So I was once a wee Faery in the hands of some humans who decided to give me a Face Painting.

It looked like this.

Nice tartan, Violet.

Yep. I mean...it's not terribly terrible, but it's a bit...um. Not what is expected of me nowadays.

So! I tried my hand at what is expected fo me nowadays! Yay!

If at all possible, my eyes might be even more alienesquely large here.

Slightly better view.

Okey dokey, so it's still not the very best face painting in the world? In fact, it sadly is not one of my personal favorites at all. Drat. This post may have to have a later addition - ooh! That would be very fun!

But meh-ness aside, I still say the new painting is a vast improvement, right! (Though I am particular to the face underneath that earlier example =D )

Time Warps and Tulips,
Violet

Another Magnificent Marvel from a Fellow Faery!

Wow!

When I got to visit Pixar with my hidden wings, I had the very lucky luck of getting bee-yoo-teaful Face Paint from fabulous Boss Faery! Oh, how gorgeously glitteriffic it was...I had started to miss it quite terribly, when a wonderful thing happened!

I was getting ready to fly in for a school celebration with three of my other Faery Friends, and Boss Faery agreed to paint my face again! Hooray! Hoorah! =D

Annnnd here it is! *smile*

Right Side! (Actually, there is no wrong side, it is so beautiful!)

Left Side!

Close Up! (Oopsie doodle. The glittery goodness looks a bit like sand...it's not! ) (Don't read that last sentence out loud, pretty please! *giggle*)

So, sadly, this silly bean took the pictures AFTER the 2.5 + hour performance...in the sun...with LOTS. and LOOOOTS of little friends (yippee!) so the colors are a bit smudged/subdued, but even with that misstep on my part - yep. Wow, right??

Curlicues and Snazzaroos,
Violet

Flights of Fancy

Well hello! While fluttering out and about on some adventures today, I flew into some very friendly fellow flying friends! *giggle* Have I ever mentioned the amazingly ample adoration I have for alliteration?!

I like it a lot :)

Anywho, my bumpings-into made me think that wow! Winged wonders abound in my land, and in many other lands as well! I decided that a collection of examples should be gathered immediately.

Of course as soon as wings come to mind, I immediately think of my dear butterfly buddies!

And then I realized, you can't have butterflies without...

Caterpillars! TWO caterpillars! That means lots of butterflies!

Hooray! We have caterpillars! Now for the flutterbyes...

Little yellow ones just love fuzzy dandelion fluff!

Pink Butterflies are always in style!

Blue Butterflies share my alliteration adoration!  ;)

And then I remembered wow! There are many other amiable chums who share my size (when I'm small, of course) AND my preferred mode of transportation!

Bumbly Bumblebees! Bzzz!

Ladybugs (or Ladybirds, if you're from my Daddy's land *smile*) are super sweet and have one of my other favorite attributes...polka dots!

Of course, our Hemiptera and Lepidoptera acquaintances are not the only ones zooming around the sky...although the next two friends I found prefer to land in water! *wink*

Quack quack! Life's just ducky for this puddly friend!

Tip of the top hat, Pink Flamingo! 

And there are even some metallic mates sharing the air! Although they miiiight be a bit farther in the stratosphere...

Rocketship! Yay!

I did find a few more examples - feathered, diaphanous, or made of steel - but we decided that they should make their debut a bit later...they have interesting stories of their own to tell that deserve a separate entry!

And that was the end!

Wait. I'm missing something....something that flies around, sometimes in a rather zig-zagging way...sparkles a lot...hmm...what could it be?

Ooh! I remember!

Butterflyish Faery Faaace!

It's me! Because I'm a Faery! *giggle* Hooray!

Um. I had to make myself big in order to show up well in the photo, and my wings didn't grow all the way - sorry about that! *blush*

Goodness gracious - I think it's time for me to land! *yawn* Have a lovely evening, everyone!

Shooting Stars and Soaring Skies,

Violet
