I'm in the process of making a mummy fairy myself, after your post inspired me! I found out that if you stick the butt of the skeleton into hot water for a little bit, it will soften the glue and you can pull out the pin in the tailbone with some pliers!

Do you have a source of reference about the image such as research, where it was found, etc.?

So clever. What is the next evolution? Flower fairies? Perhaps you could just dried flowers.

graigsm t1_j6a1a85 wrote

Ok. I am really into these. Also. You need to get some of the iridescent blue watercolor from Daniel smith for these. Im betting it would probably stick to these really well.

I saw the purple color and thought it was paint at first. And then I thought it was just a purple light. And then I remembered some watercolor paints I had a sample of and thought that would be cool to paint on the wings.

I glue pantyhose onto a plastic skeleton as skin, then painting. I have also started using model magic for the facial features and ears.

This specific one has a paper mache style body instead of pantyhose. I can't decide if I like it better or not.

So many things wrong with that sentence:

  1. mummified fairies - wtf

  2. One of - there are more?

  3. my favourite - you've seen enough to determine favourites

  4. so far... - you expect and presumably want to see more

Thank you! I didn't do ears, eyes or nose on my first one. Then the next round I used toilette paper and super glue for the facial features, but now I'm using model magic.

Id love to see yours!

I'm making mine for my sister as well, who is visiting in April. I'm taking it slow and working on it bit by bit, but I'll definitely show it when it's done!

Thanks again for the inspiration, I know she'll love it. And it's so cool you're able to make a business out of it now! :D

Odds of finding a specific used book like that are very low.

I always use online sites. ABEbooks is my go-to. And they have it

I love the internet for used books. I remember when I could only look locally. Now I can check the inventory of stores across the country.

WOW!!!! I checked your post history to make sure you were the same artist- I loved the initial one you shared too, of course (in the white frame)- but damn if this one isn’t almost believable!!! Amazing work!!

It's nice that you're documenting them. I just sweep them off the porch, if I can get them away from my cats.

Hey OP, I saw one of your fairy projects maybe two months ago and I went ahead and ordered some skeletons off AliExpress. I’d really like to see a video of how you get to this point and the techniques used.

Ah. Unfortunately I don’t use Instagram but I’ll keep an eye out for a video. I really like these little fairies. It’ll be great to make some for my nieces who already think I’m weird. Doubling down.

Replying to BooneThorn (#1,569,262)

The one I did I just used foil to bulk out the areas I wanted like the legs, arms and abdomen, then coated it all in liquid latex, painted it and glued on some wings made from wax paper. It's in a dirty jar so it doesn't look TOO bad, but I could have taken my time and done a lot better.

And 99.999999999% of the people who come to see our Halloween display never notice it! lol I might redo it and make it into a fairy corpse that is nailed to the side of our witch hut instead of being in one of her jars. At least then it might be seen.

Hanshee t1_j6jpylg wrote

As a kid I used to live in some deep hills and would go to a nearby creek maybe half a mile off a beaten path into this very beautiful spot that had sun beams coming through the trees into the stream.

This was late 90’s so at a young age there wasn’t much to do other than looking for newts, tadpoles, frogs etc. it was a cool place to explore.

I may of been 7 or 8 and still to this day am unsure what I saw but at the time I thought I saw a fairy come out of the opening of a partially hollow tree next to the creek.

Logistically it was probably some type of moth if I had to guess now since it was (25+ years ago) and I’ve seen some incredibly strangle looking moths now. At the time my kid self was adamant it was a fairy since my mom and my grandmother both had stories about being visited by fairies as children.

Seeing this post made me think how funny it would be to throw a realistic Mummified fairy into that hollow of the wood as a joke for when I have kids someday to explore the same spot by my parents house and see if a fairy would visit them.
