Featured Fairy Artist "Josephine Wall"
ACEO CARDS BY MARIANNE MATHIASEN 2008
The first set of cards are titled: Nidlongdir Royal Deck. The Royal deck is featuring The King and Queen of Nidlongdir, and their Royal Court. All cards are mumbered and signed by me. I will create at least one new card for this deck every month depending on how lucky I am cathcing the fairies on paper :)
The Fairy Realm Nidlongdir
From my blog : How to Catch Fairies on Paper
I have been sketching in my garden this summer, and my apples have started to turn from green into red. I like to draw in the morning, but Monday morning I nearly choked on my coffee when I discovered two fairies resting in the morning sun in the apple tree.
I graphed my paper, and pencil, and started to sketch them. I cursed my self for not having my digital camera with in reach. I managed to draw their faces, but then they spread their wings and set of into the next tree.
I followed them, and to my surprise I saw them flying through a portal in the tree. The portal looked like it was made of tree branches, but when I looked closer it appeared to be some sort of metal. I could see some inscriptions, and there was an arms hanging over the portal.
I did a drawing of the Arms, and while I were trying to draw, sitting uncomftable in the tree, I saw another kind of fairy coming towards me through the portal.
This fairy had darker hair, and her face was covered in feathers, She didn't look very friendly so I nearly dropped my pencil.
She stop right in front of my nose.I could see she was trying to tell me something but I couldn't understand a word of what she was saying, then she pushed a button on her throat. I could smell some kind of perfume, and all of a sudden her words started to make sense.
I am not sure if I should repeat her words, she was very rude! She told me that I was an intruder, and that the King of Nidlongdir would have me silenced for ever if I ever came back. Then she turned away from me and shouted: "I Dhara, Shaman of The Royal Court close this gate with the power of the green spirits".
The fairy vanished in front of my eyes. The portal turned into ordinary tree branches. The only ting left was the sweet smell of perfume.
I did a drawing from memory of the shaman fairy.
Magic wishes

FEATURED FAIRY ARTIST JOSEPHINE WALL
Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels. But their magic sparkles in nature. ~Lynn Holland
Of moonbeam, silver white;
His ink is dew from daisies sweet,
His pen a point of light.
~Joyce Kilmer

Autumn days with midnight skies
Autumn days with midnight skies scurrying squirrels with nuts to hide Sun going down burns an amber glow as bonfire embers spark in shardsThey’re only weeds if you don’t want them
Our garden has, for too long, been somewhat neglected. Not intentionally, it's a time thing, I'm sure many of you have the same problem!The Ghosts of Kilmartin and The Kings of Dunadd
The journey took us through the Trossachs, which is wild with an array of colour from burnt oranges, reds aglow with the morning sun, and golden yellows. The mountains, which surround us on the road, cocoon us on our journey separating us off from the noisy chaotic world. Here you can breathe clean fresh air that fills your soul and makes your heart sing. The journey is enough to heal you from your heavy burdens of lifeThe Sleeping Giant Awakes
The giant has just awakened from a century's long sleep and is moving from his resting place where he has become part of the landscape and geography. On his back are the trees and the shrubs that have grown there over the years along with the ruins of human habitations that have been built thereon long ago- castle-like structures and ruined edifices, all from a bygone era like the giant himself.Collaborating with Faeries
I realize there are many members of Enchanted Folk who have had personal experiences with the Fae. I also know there are quite a few of you who channel faeries through your art, music or writing. Now, I would not tell this story to just anybody, but I know you Believe.Michaelmas Daisy: Aster Novi-belgii
Genus: Aster: Novi-belgii Meaning: Farewell. So named because it bloomed around St Michaels day, a festival celebrated on 29th September. Although now a Christian festival it has it roots firmly in ancient Pagan practices.Beyond the Veil
I have witnessed many such Tattoos in my years as a Tattoo Artist and it is always an honour and a privilege to be a part of something so deeply personal in a person's life. I have said before, much like the old saying "wearing your heart on your sleeve", Tattoos depict this visually, like lifting the veil to your soul.The Sisters of Fate
There is a painting by John William Waterhouse that shows the Fate who measures the thread of life tangled in the strand, looking tentative and uncertain, unwillingly bound by the thread. The Fates in trilogy keep close watch over Titania's journey, watching her make decisions that lead her toward them, and others that lead her away.Atlantia
The harvest sun is swelling the pumpkins in my veg patch and mysterious mushrooms dot the lawn in the damp mornings. A new season heralds a new project in my studio...Autumn Magic
Autumn, a time for putting things to rest! Activity slows, and the harvest has been gathered. In the world of Faeries, many Fae return at this time to a higher plane to await Fair Earth's return - a new time of growth - once again next Spring.Raven Call
When I have the opportunity to travel, I often go with my dear friend, Carla, whom I have known for over thirty years. It is always fun to travel with someone who has like interests and Carla is like a second sister to me. We both enjoy exploring off the beaten path finding places less people venture.The Hidden Tree
I have some very exciting news! Marianne and I have discovered some hidden whispering leaves and books inside the Whispering Library, we spent two weeks during the summer reading under the trees there. The oak spirit, and caretaker of the library, even gave us two large moss pillows for the moss chairs so that we could spend the night reading by the moonlight.I Left My Ghost in New Orleans
I miss the old haunted streets and buildings I know so well; I miss the true cajun people who are among the friendliest and most charming in the world; the voodoo; the Quarter's oldest ghost and vampire tour, the dark & rich New Orleans coffee smell wafting from Cafe du Monde, the jazz music on every street in the Vieux Carré.Life with the Bump
Well, I am slightly larger than the last time I sat down and wrote for Faezine! Tummy was measuring 29cm at 28 weeks (am now at 30 weeks!) and we are due a midwife home visit in about a week or so. In a month's time we will have reached the safe zone of 34 weeks and will be able to discuss a home birth!Exploring the Stone Circles of Cornwall
During our recent holiday to Cornwall, my partner and I were lucky enough to pay a visit to several of the incredible, ancient stone circles that are in abundance in this part of England. When thinking of the ancient standing stones, one immediately thinks of Stonehenge or those at Avebury. However, Cornwall has a plethora of ancient circles and megaliths that are well worth visiting in their own right.Whisperings from Eynhallow
Please excuse my absence from these enchanted pages for so long. You may find it hard to believe that I have only just found my writing desk and made a reasonably risk free pathway to it. Discovering my fountain pen and writing paper was a feat which involved gymnastic-like contortions suited to a fitter person than I. Such is the chaos of moving house!Writer’s Block
The words will come all dreamers pray as they prepare to write. Out my window reigns the full moon on this last autumn night. Should I put to parchment things I've heard about this time of year? And ring louder now the whispered stories that fell soft within my ears.The Lady of the Forest Fort & Conversations with Birds
Twilight deepens around me as I wander in the garden. A gentle breeze ruffles the leaves whispering lullabies. Fragrance wafts from the buddleias, a sweet warmth I can almost feel against my skin as I step between the bushes.Cabaret, Carvings, Countryside Mills and Cars
...some fodder for inspiration along our travels. During the autumn tour we headed up to Vermont to play in a Cabaret show in Montpelier at a coffeehouse called Langdon Street Café. It's a small venue with a lot of charm.
