Dust Catchers

[evile]

I was looking for some good images of Amy Brown's "Attitude Fairy"for costume ideas for this weekend at faire, and found this website.

OMG, these are gorgeous.

OTOH, I would NOT use this figure as a groom on *my* wedding cake. It looks like he'd rather be anywhere but on top of a cake with a GIRL. Poor fairy boy. (Then again, the bride figurine looks like she's about to sneak poison into his drink, so I'd be unhappy to marry her, too.)

(Now HERE's my idea of a good wedding cake topper. Only the bride bat needs a tiny white veil and the groom bat needs a tiny itty bitty top hat. heehee! :P)

I think those wedding cake decorations work. Fairies are always a little bit cockeyed and off.

That's fucking gorgeous art.

I don't suppose there's really any such thing as a masculine male fairy...it just kind of goes against the whole definition of 'fey'

But he could at least be holding his flowers UP instead of lettin' em droop sadly. (BTW--is that freudian or WHAT!?)

He looks more like he's slightly bored at the funeral of someone he either didn't like much or didn't know well, rather than his wedding.

PS: I love Nene Thomas (http://www.nenethomas.com/index.shtml)' artwork. They always have a store that sells her prints at faire & I just love to look around. As beautiful as the sculptures are, they just don't capture the fine detail of a print.

I love the bride. She looks coy with an adorable smirk!

And yes, that bat cake topper is perfect for you. Tom Thumb has some awesome bat candy collecting bags in felt that remind me of you.
