Oh my dizzy muzzy Wednesday morning heart! Did that really happen? Or am I just imagining these sweet little flower fairies floating on my screen? Please be real. :x

Truly charming Lori - they do look SO real! Where did you find them?

Dee and NR such interesting wire art that you have found. :72: :-D
I do love the deer most of all but am enthralled by the grace and subtlety of some of the other pieces.
Like you NR I had difficulty making out the structure in the video to begin with and then it was moment of delight to see it evolve.

I believe the middle one's name is Tiana (Fairy Queen).

Of course, the one on the left is named Siofra (‘Sheef-RA’) which means 'sprite'.

The little buddette on the right isn't talking, but rumor has it her name is Gypsophilia, Gyps for short.


Apparently, back when kids still played outside little girls used these as dolls. It's two rose of Sharon flowers, one still in bud.

Fun Fact (and who knew?): Lorelei:

This name is taken from the German folktales, where Lorelei was the sensual mermaid of the Rhine River, whose haunting voice led to many shipwrecks. This sophisticated name means ‘alluring’.

Oh, Lorelei...I say, Lorelei...

I think she's just fabulous!!!

This may be dis-respectful but in the first photo of the little sprites I can't help but think that the middle one - Tiana - looks a little bit like Donald Duck; once you see it you just can't unsee it. :57:
Sorry.

Siofra is irresistibly cute, especially in the group photo. And I love how well groomed Gyps is. Such a neat hair do! :x
