A New Little Baby Fairy

Do you remember the Little Fairy under the microscope of my last post? She's born! 

I used the microscope to insert eyelashes and to paint the micro-nails, it was a tough but wonderful work. The micro-movement of the hand, that you can't see with the naked eye, you can see under the microscope! So it needs the utmost concentration and a different spatial perception, I'll needs many time to learn well.

But, after all, a different Space and Time perception is just a Fairy Thing... don't you think? :)
Now I'm working at her little dress and at her display. What Magic Spell is she doing? I'll tell you in the next post!

Fairies Under the Microscope

Sometimes, paths taken in life unexpectedly joins, so in these days of Spring my old scientific study met my artistic study... putting Fairies under the microscope!  

This stereoscopic microscope of E.D. Elettronica Didattica  is a fantastic gift. Micro-sculpting with it, attaining a level of accuracy that would be phisically impossible with the naked eye or with a simple magnifyng glass, is a magical and thrilling work.

I'm sorry I can't take a photo of what I see when I look into the microscope... But seeing/not seeing is a fairies characteristic, isn't it? Like looking a flower you can feel  "other" although you can't see, so looking the micro-sculpture with the naked eye, you cane feel "other", although you can't see it. Feeling even if not seeing... Maybe is this the magic of life?

Magnolia in Bloom Fairies

In these days the Magnolia Tree in my garden is full of flowers, and if you pay attention you could see its Little Lairies among the branches...

They take care of blooming painting each single flower with the more tender pink tones, to welcome the Spring. 

They say to Bumbles and Bees to spread the news: fine weather is coming!

Robin, Sparrows and and Ringoves knows, up in the Sky, and they'll soon build one's nest among the branches 

Wild Mice knows, down in their nests among the roots, and they'll soon go out to play on the grass full of sun

In some weeks even Humans will know, and will leave cacke crumbs  for the ants, in the meadow, having their picnics! 

But the sweetest time is in this early blooming: so many silence to admire so many beauty.

Now is the Time in which Fairies tenderly rock and lull the Babies who are slept in the Flowers, until their awakening, in the first day of Spring.

Miniaturitalia 2014

We got back home from Miniaturitalia a few weeks ago, but I get to write here just now.

Siamo tornati da Miniaturitalia da qualche settimana, ma riesco a dedicarle un post soltanto ora. 

This year it was the tenth edition of the fair, and I'm glad I can say of "I'm here in the first edition!" :)
Too much emotion and beauty to write... People from all the world that united from the same love of miniatures: the sweet Mika from far Japan, my friends Margaret and Robin from United States, the kind ladies from England that adopted my miniature mouse at Kensington some years ago... friends from Spain and from France, and the beautiful artworks by the talented ADMI miniaturist. It was so beautiful seeing them all together! A special thanks to Marina de La Casetta di Pampepato, Eurosia, Cinzia and to the tender Eleonora. And of course thanks to Miniaturitalia's Staff for making real a dream, every year.

We are going to Miniaturitalia

Just a Fairy Greeting. We'll see there, or here next week! :)
