The Brimmelmire's original scuplt
Faye’s Fairies Hand Sculpted By D. Faye Nail My sculptures are one-of-a-kind, lovingly designed from a mixture of polymer clays over wire armatures and of course, a little magic. No molds are ever used in their creation. They are made with special attention to details, such as fingernails/toenails, expressive eyes/faces, aesthetic colors, jewelry and whimsical nature. Some of my fairies will include hand-sculpted bases, mounted on stained, polyurethane coated display bases. Their wings are formed from gossamer material over wire, then glazed with a translucent shimmer. The wings are flexible and detachable for ease of shipping, with a style, shape and color to compliment each individual fairy. You may choose to permanently attach the wings with a drop of super-glue, as this will not affect your ability to pose the wings to your liking. Hair is of high quality mohair and/or, synthetic and will come in varying shades/hues and styles. It can be hand-curled, or long and flowing and it’s applied by individual locks. Sculptures and bases are sealed with matte finish for protection. All fairies are numbered, dated, signed by the artist and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. ‘Mr.&Mrs. Brimmelmire’ This auction is for fairy sculpture No.103 entitled, ‘The Brimmelmire’s’ *Addo& Adel* and they’re seated on a hand-sculpted tree branch, which is mounted on a 5” x 7” decorative, scalloped, red-mahogany stained/polymer-coated wood base. The base also features hand-sculpted, painted rocks, medium green mix, earth tone mix and dark green static grass. Mr. Brimmelmire, a happy, old soul is 4” high in his seated position with dark blue, hand-painted eyes, rosy cheeks and sparse, white hair.*Addo* (a Teutonic name meaning ‘Happy’) also features an open mouth/smile with sculpted/painted teeth and tongue. Behind his back he’s grasping a handful of beautiful peach/yellow-colored wild flowers for his lovely wife. Mrs. Brimmelmire *Adel* measures 3-3/4” and has dark brown hair with strands of silver-gray and twisted into a bun on top with tiny sticks holding it in place. She has a kind; adoring expression with sparkling blue eyes, painted lips and cheeks….Her right hand is lovingly placed upon his left. Both sets of gossamer wings have a sparkling translucent, iridescent glaze. All painted surfaces have been sealed for durability. Thank you for viewing and good luck!
