Greetings Dear Faerie Friends! Yes, I know, what am I doing here when I should be busy posting all those great new updates to my website? Well, I'm here to show another little sneak preview of what those new updates are going to include at some time in the very near future. Also to assure you that there WILL be LOTS of new stuff and lots of it for FREE- you don't always have to pay to get great quality toys, 'specially when crazy faeries are out here just giving away this stuff. I haven't abandoned my site or my dear faerie friends either, just been, uh, rather bizzy the past few months. BUT I AM ABOUT TO BE BACK IN FORCE. I still have the mermaid, Anemone, 95% complete and she WILL be posted free before too long. But this little doll has been rather insistent, and she has been waiting since last September, so you may have a chance to get her first before the others. Oh, and there are plenty others because once I get cranked back up, I'm ready to play for a LONG TIME. There is a much larger version of Buttercup here posted in the gallery. Buttercup is modeled after a close and dear personal friend of mine and was ALMOST Miss September, until the Ravens had other ideas. Just remember the BEST and the ORIGINAL Buttercup Faerie, all Sweetness and Light, is brought to you by Thorne- accept no substitutes. =};-}>

Beautiful as ever, Thorne. Are you going to offer any of your past DLs again? I had a comp crash before I got my CD storage and lost most of your figures. I was able to replace everthing but them. :( If you ever put them up again, for sale or for free, please let me know. :) Greywolf

(Hahahahaha! And the sound of some faeries laughing, too!) Thank you kindly my fellow virtual sojourners of alternate Faerie worlds! Between all of the new (and cute I might add) characters that my faerie helper Robyn Ravenhair (also cute) has recently helped to enter into this world and so become Real by the Magic of Living and Being Real in all our hearts and minds- uh, (Did anybody follow all that? What's he tawkin' 'bout innyways? 'z he crazy?) Well- between all that and all the new intrepid faerie explorers having discovered the hole-between-the-worlds dimensional warp that exists inside my computer (it's really prob'ly my HEAD, but "hole-between" and "warped" both have bad connotations in reference to heads)... well and then there are those classic girls that WILL be back for a return visit, perhaps on CD collections and.... Aw hell now I forgot what I was orignally sayin'. Guess I'd better slip off back to work now, real quiet like... Good Magic to all y'all!

Perhaps I'm just tired tonight but man, I really like that backround! Was that done in Poser with a script or another paint program? Glad to see that you'r still around.

The background is a scan of a photo of some ivy leaves growing on the ground, and then seriously retouched in Corel PhotoPaint- probably in all about 20 or so layers at varying transparencies of the same image using different filters and color, tone, and other special effects. It was originally made for my Rose character. I like to make these "impressionist" style backgrounds and I use the same basic technique on all of them. Here is another background image of the same sort that you might find interesting- it happened quite by accident and originally began life as a photo of my back yard. I sort of went wild for a moment with cutting, sizing, rotating, and pasting different shaped strips of the image back onto itself over and over again, and then suddenly I saw this myriad of Green Man faces staring back at me... the more and the deeper you look into the image, the more Green Man faces you can see, much like a fractal image in that regard. They appear in every direction. Obviously this is a very magical image, and I call it my "Fractal Green Man" =};-}> (680x680 pixel hi-res JPG 254K bytes) Fractile Green Man
