FAE Monthly Art Dare: Rose Moon


Faerie Flower Bough Necklace by Faeriekat

It's June, and the summer heat and lingering green of the spring rains have the ripest flowers ready for picking! The full moon shines on competing fireflies, singing frogs, and the secret bloom of roses in the night. The FAEteam has gathered the rarest blooms to share:

FaerieKat is playing with cloudyarn and grass to weave a Blue Faerie Rose Crocheted Wire Cuff :


NightLily's Faerie Hair Flowers grow only in the sky gardens- but she may pick you a pair, if you ask!


Mermaiden finds her roses somewhere else entirely to make a most unexpected bouquet for her Til Death Do Us Part Skully Fairy Bride Earrings:


Be sure to come back for next month's challenge, when we'll try to gather in our Hay before the Thunder Moon catches up to us! And convo Carapace on Etsy to play along!

Magical Summer Solstice

The date of the Summer Solstice varies slightly each year and this year it occurred on the 21st of June, but it's never too late to celebrate this most magical time of the year. Also known as Midsummer, this is when the faeries are most active and happy, so is it any wonder that Janice of TangoCatGems has created a treasury fit for a Faerie Queen called "Summer Solstice"?

This glamorous treasury features the queenly gifts of these FAETeam members:
Whether ye call it Summer Solstice, Midsummer Eve, Litha, Samradh, Alban Hefin, Aerra Litha, Mother Night, or St. John’s Eve, I hope the magic of the season lifts you on her wings and makes you sing!

The Green Man

FaerieKat of Faerie Fabulous Finds has created a treasury that takes us on "A Visit with the Green Man":

This treasury features Green Men items from the following FAETeam members:
May you enjoy this introduction to an interesting ancient deity!

Friday Treasury Chest

During the past week, FAEteam member's wonderful works have been tucked into these wonderful treasuries:

Nat of Nataliaraya featured knightimecreations' exotic The Beautiful Courtesan's Wedding Necklace in the equally exotic treasury, "Bohemian...":



Walnut Baby (aka sbpf) created a treasury in which a tag in the first item matches a tag in the second item, a different tag in the second item matches a tag in the third item, and so forth in this "Follow my tags" treasury. MoonlitHerbals' Faerie Magick - Clay Mushroom Stick Incense Burner - with free sample of our hand-dipped incense sticks was linked to the preceding item by the tag "whimsical decor" and led to their Enchanted Faerie Lantern with LED Tealight - Blue through the tag "wicca pagan witch", which in turn led to FaerieKat's Twist of a Rose Pink Crystal Ring through the tag "faerie fairy faery" that in turn led to the next item by virtue of the tag "rose roses rosie":

Dryw - Kapnobatis' Metaphysical and Primitive Art Shop quotes from Tolkien the rules of speaking with dragons and presents us with an incredible treasury "Into the Dragons' Realm" wherein are featured UpfromtheAshes' wickedly wonderful Isaac No.8 Small Dragon Wings in Black, gypsymoonart's elegantly eerie The Next Realm wire wrapped eye ring, and ElementalDragons' endearing Zazzi of the Earth Clan - ELEMENTAL DRAGONS:

Bernadette of BumblbeeEnterprises investigated the sweet taste of mulberries in our next treasury, "Mulberry Time," which features NightLilyDesign's gorgeous and Dashing Mulberry Lace and Satin jacket:


Jessi of JessiJewels is out to set our mouths watering with her delectable treasury, "Sweet Summer Cantaloupe", featuring FaerieKat's Summer Faerie Flower Crochet Wire Cuff:

Front Page Worthy -- Citrusy Treasury!!

Did shesthatgirl, of She's That Girl Soap Shop, have had in mind Etsy's June Trend Forecast when she decided to give us a peek into "My Life as a Muse," which is filled with the lovely tangerine, lime, blood orange and grapefruit colors predicted to be a favorite this summer? Only the muse knows for sure!

The muse features these extraordinary team members:
Shesthatgirl may not be listed as a member of the FAETeam, but she seems to find plenty of inspiration here, so I've made her an honorary member. Thanks, shesthatgirl, for finding us so a-muse-ing!

I'd love to be able to submit this treasury for consideration for the front page, but unfortunately inclusion of the curator's own listing makes it ineligible. Picky, picky Etsy; you lose!

The Air is Filled with Magic

Janice of tangocatgems brings us another glorious treasury, displaying the talents of more of our incredibly talented members in this unbelievable "Magic is In The Air" collection:

Janice, thank you for such a magical experience!

FAE Street Team Treasure Chest

Debbie of DebiDesigns brings us a treasury filled from top to bottom with magnificent booty from our very own "FAE Team":


This exciting treasure chest is stocked with only the finest and tempting items:
*Membership verified by team moderator who will notify of requirement to input info into member database.

Congratulations to all the fine members who completely filled this incredible treasury, and also to its curator, DebiDesigns.

If you have created a fantasy-themed treasury or are featured in any treasury, please send me a convo with the treasury link.

I stumbled across this treasury (on the morning of the 8th) in the FAE Team forum thread (where it was posted shortly after midnight on the 7th) and if I had been delayed past 3 pm on the 9th in reading the thread, I would have missed the opportunity for this post since this is an expiring treasury on Treasury West.

This is the last posting I will create based on treasuries announced only in the forum thread or anyplace else (like your personal blog). I only have two heads and would need a third one to check every possible place on the planet where it is possible to announce you have created or been featured in a treasury, so please take pity on me and send a quick convo to me at FaerieKat.

"How's your head feeling?"
"Mine feels like multiple migraine meltdown has commenced."
"Dang, girl, I feel your pain."
"Of course you do, you're my other head."
"Oh. Yeah. Well, I guess we should take something, like a migraine pill."
"Duh. And like right now before we both explode! Dang, some heads are like so dumb."
