Fae bear


The pictures were all taken before Blossom got her shiny polycoat but I just wanted to show her off a bit. :)








I like to use as much symbolism as I can so here is a little more in depth pictures and what the symbols mean:

The bee symbolizes community, brightness and personal power. Follow the bee to discover your new destination.



 Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life:
 endurance, change, hope



gnomes are subterranean spirits who guard the earth's treasures



fairies symbolize the paranormal powers of the spirit or the extraordinary capacities of the imagination: to create in the imagination what can never be realized in the actual world.





mushrooms also represent rapid growth and good fortune







feathers generally symbolize an ascension and spiritual evolution to a higher plane

StencilGirl® stencils really helped make the process faster and more creative!

I know I've said it elsewhere, but Blossom is absolutely magical. I knew that before I read your notes. Now I am really taken by the symbolism you have put into this bear. Blossom sure is a winner!
