Moving the Site soon...

My Galleries at SquareSpace

Friends,

My sites are in a mid-move and in a bit of a muddle, so I post the link above to my galleries over on SquareSpace, in case anybody's looking for them.   I'm finally getting poised to move over to SquareSpace, largely because I like the design flexibility and control it offers to those of us who aren't CSS literate.  Full forwarding should be installed when I actually do the move, so you're likely to hardly notice. The main URL will be www.ForestRogers.com  as it is here.  All my raveled urls shall be knit up, ultimately. And I've been concocting some entirely new pages, too.

But more of that later -- my birds are waiting for their supper! They're listening to Verdi, and watching "Planet  Earth" on the television. But birds like routine, and mustn't be kept waiting...

Hear the Mermaids Singing

 

A tiny faery at the seashore, in Kato Polyclay. She'd stand about 5 1/2 inches tall.

On the Work Table

Creatures pending: two tiny faeries and one tiny Asian ghost, the Hut belonging to Baba Yaga no. 1, Mr. Faun no. 2, possibly another Eros, a Circe. Skeletons of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa no. 2. We shall see more soon. I am also eager to resume the two-dimensional efforts.

My New Galleries, on Squarespace

Friends,
    I'm plotting a migration to SquareSpace, a host with much, very much, to offer those of us who desire design omnipotence without CSS knowledge. My migration will be slow, very slow; this blog will stay right here for months yet, and may remain evermore as a permanent archive. Rest assured, I'll make much ado before moving.
   But for the moment, I've set up several galleries over there where it'll be much easier to find things, I believe. Let me know what you think:

My best to you, most kind and patient Guests,

And Faun Again

Faun, preview

Eros, all put together

Here he is, ready to fly to a new home. (His auction end rather late tonight; to visit it Click here or on the image... oh the suspense endured by artists having auctions!)

Eros, roosting on eBay

My oh my, I must re-invent my photo area. In Providence, I had a little sun porch, perfect for the purpose; but alas, no more. My Cousin Mab's decorative paper is helping me out here, but I must remake the Faery Garden. But first, to refine Eros' drape.

Eros again...

Now he has eyelashes. (And now, he has winged his way to eBay: click here or on the image to visit his Auction)

The Very Brightest Christmas Eve to You!

Eros a little further along...

Wings for Eros

That sounds like the metaphorical title for something, but of course I mean it literally. Eros, coming soon! The wings are Kato Polyclay over a mostly brass armature.

Faery, still underway...

The Little Mermaid again...

(Click on image above to visit her auction)
The shred of silk she's holding is a textile preservation fabric... good for tiny beings.
I imagine she may think of the dresses at the Prince's dance, and what is worn by human women. Well, some human women, and of another time than this...

The Little Mermaid, Now on eBay...

(Click on the image above to visit her auction!)
The Little Mermaid, dreaming perhaps of human things...

FaerieCon was a fine event; many fay creatures attended, large and small... more anon (I promise!)

The Little Mermaid, underway

Silvershod and the Cat, underway

I'm further embellishing his forest base...

Silvershod continued...

More of him soon, with his friends.

Twilight Faery, out and about

This little creature is flitting about on eBay, with my blessings. Terry, the sweet woman who bought her a number of years ago, is having a rough year and parting with some of her fairies, in a good cause. If you'd like to take a gander, here's a link:

It's Fun to make Fungi.

Our Victorian Garden Faery's Mushroom, on its own. It's Kato Polyclay, over an Aves Fixit Sculpt, wire  and aluminum armature.

In the Garden

A Victorian Garden Faery (on eBay again, at long last)

More anon...

An Herb Gatherer

This one's gone to live in London.

Silvershod, again
