Treasury Treats

We begin this week's compendium of treasuries with "A Croquet Party" hosted by Bethany (a self-described spinster and geekery fangirl) of Gossamer Song Fanart Studio where you'll find handspun and hand-designed fanart yarn.

Spiderwings' "Lost Souls spell bottle"




Jhoeymonster is an aspiring special fx artist by night, and an avid gamer/crafter by day. She enjoys creating art from anything she can get her little paws on...from piles of leaves, pebbles, and feathers to more traditional materials such as pen and ink, fibers, paint, clay, etc. Observe the composition of layers in her treasury, "From Ashes Arise":



And rising from the ashes in a row filled with flame is the featured FAETeam member:



ThreadsOfMagique's "Phoenix Firebird OOAK Art Quilt"





From the beautiful North East of England, Rainbowz Art is accompanied on her journey through time and space by her special bloke, gorgeous girl, three daft cats, five fish and one visiting, very shy hedgehog! Perhaps it was the daft cats that inspired her treasury, "Kitties Galore":


For some of them certainly look a wee tad daft, but not so our featured FAETeam member's contribution:



MotherSpoon's "Catfish (print)"

Swimming along with the other mermaid's is this featured FAETeam member:



Aquariann's "Treasure . mermaid art bookmark"




Robin of Divine Depth Designs makes jewelry and plays with Polymer clay to stay sane (we can all relate to that, can't we?!). I'm sure we can also all guess who inspired her divine treasury, "Poison Apples"!

My cute mousie friends
Are beginning to squeak,
"Let the weekend begin,
"It's been a long week!"

Head to the beach,
Play your favorite sport;
Drink in the sun's rays,
For days are grown short

The end of the year
Is approaching fast;
Halloween soon will be here
And then will be past.

The Wheel always turns,
The Past doesn't change,
The Future's too flexible,
Now's ours to arrange.

So live in the Present,
And love there as well,
It's the easiest place
On the Wheel to dwell.
