The Best of the Beast and his Beauty

Camilla of Danagonia, our FAETeam member from Denmark who not only makes exquisite fantasy jewelry but also offers wonderful tutorials, has created another amazing storybook treasury about a tale she's given her snowy heart to, "Beauty and the Beast"...

Be they Beauty or be they Beast, these featured FAETeam members are the best!



From Leah and Shane of Mythical Designs: "Antlered Great Greenman Mask"





From Janice of TangoCatGems: "Cherry Wire Wrap Bracelet"





From Katie of Lennon Studio: "Greenman Limited Edition faery 11 x 14 giclee Katie Lennon"





From Shannon of Gypsy Moon Art Studio: "Gypsy Garden vintage metal rose ring"





From Samantha of Samantha Nowak Illustrations: "Raven Witch 8x10 matted print"







From Jennifer of Beasley's Wonders by Vima Sunrider: "Scarlet Circlet"




From Heather of Moonlit Herbals: "Witch's Magick Mirror Kit (Round style mirror) - With mirror, bag of organic Mugwort and a usage scroll - For use in psychic work, divination, deflecting negative energies"



If you find that you're a Beauty
Kind as the day is long,
And you're in love with a Beast
Who tends to get things wrong,
Staying with the Beast is not your duty, Beauty,
Not in the least, poor Beast.

But.

If the Beast hasn't broken the law,
Or dislocated your lower jaw,
Doesn't say things that stick in your craw,
Or snore like the proverbial saw,
Hasn't drawn the shortest straw,
And keeps a neat and tidy claw,
Knows how to read and can even draw,
And makes you giggle and even guffaw...

May you go through life together,
Happily ever after,
Hand in paw.

Rapunzel's Riches


Camilla of Danagonia, a FAETeam member from Denmark who not only makes exquisite fantasy jewelry but also offers wonderful tutorials, created this amazing storybook treasury bidding "Rapunzel" let down your golden hair...


Letting their creative hair down are these featured FAETeam members:


From Jennifer of Beasley's Wonders by Vima Sunrider: "A Royal Wedding Silver Circlet"







From Omar of Studio Rayyan: "Building Castles in the Hair"





From Victoria of Star Gazing Wood Elf: "Custom Elven Princess Corset, by StarGazingWoodElf"





From Corbin of Splendid Fish: "Large Handcrafted Athame"




From Mary of PhenomeGnome: "LAVENDER FAIRY GARDEN CASTLE - Outdoor Miniature Gardens"




From Eve of Bal Masque: "Mother Nature-Venetian Masquerade Mask"




From Shannon of Gypsy Moon Art Studio: "Nereid. Vintage crystal and shell copper necklace"





From Karla of Thyme2Dream: "Rivendell Elven Spring Hair Comb"





From Tadd of Hawkwolf's Armory and Accoutrements: "Silver Chain Maille Japanese Weave Bracelet with Beautiful Wrapped Seraphinite"




From Tressa of PuppyCatMeow: "Two Double Helix Rapunzel Renaissance Braids extension wig braid plait"





In ancient tellings of Rapunzel
The beauty fared not well
Her witch protector threw her out
As her belly began to swell

Her golden hair shorn away
In murky swamps did she dwell
And fed her two babes at her breast
In misery none could quell

Her prince the witch had blinded
For visiting her in her tower cell
And not until he found her again
Would the witch unspeak her spell.

Terrific Treasuries This Week

Our first terrific treasury this week is by Jollie of Jollie Jewels, a treasure trove of recycled and repurposed beach art and vintage jewelry. She, like many of us, is already looking forward to an "Enchanted Autumn", which officially begins on the Fall/Autumn Equinox that "falls" on September 23rd this year:




Enjoy the vibrantly hued offerings of these featured FAETeam members:



FaerieKat's "A Faerie's Leaf Crystal Copper Necklace Handmade on Etsy"




BluPixie's "Lesidhe Autumn leaf Fairy (Faerie) Wings - Perfect for Cosplay, Street Fashion, Faires, Festivals, Fancy Dress Costume Parties, Clubbing and especially Weddings"





FairiesNest's "OOAK Art Doll Maeve The Fall Fairy Queen"





Becca of Seasons Art 1031 makes one of a kind, wacky and wonderful folk art creations to celebrate all of the seasons. Her treasury, "Enchanting Realm," presents enchantments from the Magical Holiday Artists team:

Some of these featured items and members are also FAETeam members:




MagickMermaid's "Fairy Angel Moonbeams Magick 8x10 Archival Fantasy Print"







CarolOchs' "Out Of Her Shell"






Kaylee, Carissa and Sara of SpoolOfSugar is the collaboration of a college student (bags), a mom and lunch lady (hats and skirts), and a church secretary (birds and flowers). They believe, just as we all do, that "Fairy Tales Do Come True"!



The fairy tale magic of this FAETeam member is featured in this wonderful treasury:


Carapace's "Rose Red Carries an Axe In The Garden Digital Illustration Print"





Tracy of mztracyr designs has Multiple Sclerosis and, although her hands do not always want to cooperate, discovered a love for making jewelry after her diagnosis. Red is her favorite color, but her treasury is "Green with Envy":



The following FAETeam member's made it into this enviable treasury:



FaerieKat's "Aegean Sea Fun in the Sun Necklace Handmade on Etsy"






Aquariann's "Peridot . dragon fantasy art bookmark"





Rita of RitasCreationsOnEtsy is a stamper, a scrapper, a quilter and more, but I was fascinated by her Pee Pee Cones for Baby Boys (probably because I've changed a few little boy's diapers!). Her treasury is also "Green with Envy":



And this FAETeam member's featured item is certainly something to envy!



Aquariann's "Peridot . dragon fantasy art pinback button"




Yiota of GoregeousLittleGems is originally from Greece but now lives in London. Her jewelry is casual yet still smart, exciting and feminine, and above all, wearable. Her elegant treasury, "I Believe in Fairys," is also smart, exciting and feminine:


Of course, we believe in fairies, too, as do these featured FEATeam members:


Jenniveves' "OOAK Sculpted Fairy Wand Refillable Ink Pen"







CosmikFrogPhotograph's "Wings- 11x17 Fine Art Print"






Aubrey (AKA Mauby, Aubrey+Mommy) of Maubys has a passion for fabric, sewing and kissing and snacking with her toddler. Her daytime doodles turn into evening design patterns for things like reusable snack baggies. She's given us a brilliantly hued treasury appropriately entitled, "I Dream in Color":


Featured in this colorful treasury is the equally colorful artwork of this FAETeam member:



Aquariann's "Damsel . dragon art magnet"




Sharon of Junktique says she's an old hippie that loves making people happy with her sewing. There's no doubt her Cutie-Patootie one size diapers are both cute and popular. Living in the state that gave us John Wayne and Winnebagos, her treasury gives us a taste of the "Iowa State Fair":


Among the quilts, preserves and cuddly barnyard animals is this featured FAETeam member:


FairyQueenCrochet's "Magnificent Rudolph Valentino Museum Quality Crocheted Tapestry or Rug, Movie Poster"




Lindsay of LindsayRoad is a full time Social Studies teacher who creates her jewelry in a little farmhouse in upstate New York. Her clever and cute treasury is curiously entitled, "I'm Still, I'm Still An Animal":



It features the clever, cute and curious creation of this FAETeam member:



Featherwurm's "Plush Dragon Ebenrude"




Torrence of TorrenceXO (aka "Fleur) is a 19 year old who loves to make hair accessories. She's also well aware that "It's a Fairies World" out there!



This small but adorable treasury features this FAETeam member:


Danagonia's "Fairy Daisy Necklace"





AmyBunz16 says she is "a serious Etsy addict" and she's a wonderful Etsy customer, too! She's also a terrific treasury curator, as you will plainly see in her "Medieval Magic" treasury:


Featured in this feast of medievalry are these magical FAETeam members:


GreenHavenSoaps' "Ever After (Oatmeal, Sea Salt, and Coconut Milk Bath)"







VimaSunrider's "Medieval Crown Circlet"






Jaclynn and Samantha of DoubleTake09 are identical twins who are skilled in china painting and offer their handpainted pieces, photography, vintage patterns and other items they love to create in their store. Their rich and mysterious "Midnight Blue" treasury features one of their favorite colors:




Featured is the rich and mysterious goodness offered by this FAETeam member:


GreenHavenSoaps' "Bard Soap - Bergamot, Fir Needle, and Tea Tree"





The owner of MisiZiibi (Ojibwe for Giant River) is of Annishinabe/Ojibwe, French (Canada, eh), and German descent, born in northern Wisconsin and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota; she's also a Mom, Grandma, and foster Mom. Her love for (and awe of) Lake Superior, the Mississippi, and little Moose and Harriet Lakes has shaped her sense of what is beautiful and comforting, and lends plenty of inspiration to her work. Sit back and enjoy her "Oh, What a DOLL" treasury:




Featured in this "dolls are not just for kids" treasury is this FEATeam member's faerie kin:




CLBcreations' "Copper Hobgoblin"







Our very own Sarah of ToadstoolsNTreestump found herself pondering the mysteries of the sea from far, far away and longing for a little "Sea Mist":



Featured are the underwater marvels of these FAETeam members:



ToadstoolsNTreestump's "five strand gemstone necklace, Exaltation"






FairyMermaid's "Seastar - OOAK Mermaid Doll"





When the owner of BuddysBracelets discovered she would need to wear a medical alert bracelet and couldn't find anything she liked, she resorted to making her own. She says people always seem surprised when they find out she collects unicorns. Well, we're not at all surprised at that, or that "Unicorns Aren't Just for Little Girls," are we FAETeam?




Featured are these most definitely non-glittery rainbow colored, little girl's bed linen FAETeam member unicorns:



ThreadsOfMagique's "Fantasy Thermal Tea Cozy"






EirewolfCreations' "Roan Unicorn with blue eyes -- OOAK sculpture bust on soapstone base"


That's it for this Friday. Remember that all the thumbnails on the left are clickable links to both the curator's and our FAETeam member's Etsy listings for the item shown.

Thank you to all the curators who featured items from our team! Bendithion and have a glorious weekend!
