WoodLand Fairy Sprite
and his baby Dragon Talun
created by Sheri L.Jetton
just 1 day left on my auction..
Morte is a Woodland Fairy Sprite. Talun is his little baby dragon he adopted, Talun lost his mother unfortunately.Morte' is trying very hard to taking care for Talun.It is his responcibility to take the place as his caretaker as to all the creatures and the woodlands.
Morte' is signing with his right hand " I love you"..That is really what life is all about Don't you think?
Morte' has a favorite place The swinging bridge and he is teaching Talun how too fly...he's doing very well...Talun's favorite thing to do is to glide low to the blue green water under the bridge and he see's his reflection in the water as clear as a mirror's reflection.
Morte' is a One of a kind as is Talun, each began as a idea in my head and start out as armatures and then handsculpted with puppen fimo my preference of polymer clays.As I apply the clay I just discover new things and let the clay decide.....
Each are handpainted with several different mediums very detailed down to the scales on Talun and Morte' wings,{the wings are not real butterfly wings} which are painted & decorated with many types of dried flowers,fairy dust,various colors of faux moss, and then sealed.
Morte' has dark soulful black eyes with a glint of gold specks and a glint of his playful self as he sticks out his tongue..Talun's eyes twinkle blue.
,also he has two tiny gold horns right above each ear and on his bridge of snout another gold horn,he's very detailed for his 1 1/8 inch in length under 1 inch tall
Talun sits happily perched on Morte's left hand. Morte' always has fascinating stories to tell.
The complete sculpture is affixed too a beautiful wood Red Cedar base, I cut all my own bases and sand and seal them twice.
Morte' is just 4 1/4 inches tall with Red Cedar base.
I really enjoy creating dragons,this is a different piece for me,but I sometimes just let the clay lead me..the polymer base has my horse shoes trademark and circle C copyright.
Like Talun I'll be spreading my wings with my sculptured creations.
With Morte'& Talun a Certificate of Authenticity comes with.
All of my creations are True OOAKs { one of a kind } no molds are used in any part of the process, and when you receive one of my Sculptures you can see all the tiny details just not visible with camera at this tiny size.

FootNote
With the idea that of course, my creations are not meant for children to play with, but... I pictured that at night Parents could read the stories that go with my sculptures with their children, maybe bringing the Sculpture in and setting it on the night stand while sharing the story or making up a new story :@). Childrens imaginations are so vivid and wonderful....I remember as a child my very favorite times were out in the back yard on my Grandparents farm...and my Grandfather always had a telescope focused on the moon and stars out by the tall oak...And with a little help from my grandfather.... I believed the moon spoke to me..{ grandpaws are fun } as funny as it may sound to adults...It was *MAGICAL* too me...I remember believeing in those moments that the Big Moon was actually talking to me...""Imagination of a child""....and fortunately I've managed too keep it. I think the secret is..." remember the child inside of each of us and Play-Play...never forget to play..."
