I had a restful, and much needed vacation with my sisters at the beach.
Indian Rocks is not my favorite beach, mostly because of the lack of shells. But the ocean was beautiful, the sunsets were colorful, and the company was the best. Plus, I managed to find just enough shells to make two fairies.
And I am being very precise with my words telling you that, there honestly were not many shells.
I was pleased to be able to make one fairy and felt very lucky to have scrambled enough shells together for her, then told myself on the last day that I wanted to find a heart and create an Angel for my Ryan before I left. The wind was rough that day so I decided to walk into it for the first part of the stroll, knowing it’s always easier to return with the wind at your back, not in your face.
These bits and pieces came my way on that last, windy walk and I was able to construct this for Ryan, just as I’d hoped to. I sprinkled a few more of his ashes, listened to his song again, and told him that I love him.
But he knows that.
Here is the first sprite I made. Her hair looks like she was battling the wind as much as I was, doesn’t it?
I consider her more of a fairy, and the second one is an Angel. But I guess it is all in the eyes of who sees them and what they think of them.
That is, if anyone actually sees them. But that isn’t the point of making them.
The beach fairies are a blessing and a thank you to nature that I make for the pure pleasure of crafting them.
My sissies took me to another beach, where I also gathered some shells to bring home. I’m hoping to craft some shellfolk in epoxy with those, so will have some to share that aren’t just memories that wash away in the surf.
