Above, the very adorable first elf fairy bead! It is my first male or at least androgynous fairy bead. The others are so girly! I don't know what took me so long, he's so cute. I think I need to make a couple more to make sure it is not a fluke, and then add him to the catalog.

 

I recently got a new book in the mail that I wanted to tell you about. I discovered it at Faerie Con, when the folks at Faerie Magazine showed me an article about it.
