| Thank you, Leanan!  Little Sunspot wants some love of her own as well.  This little cutie was all about colors and shape. I had colorful silk petals which screamed to become mertail scales. And a little brown skinned doll with an abundance of hair. The two together made an adorable merbaby. You may guess that my Hidden Folk has Wavedancers! ___________________________________________________  Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| OMG!! I've missed this! *starts beating my hectic schedule calendar with a hammer* >< I swear Embala... just when I think your last project with dolls couldn't be best'ed... you whip up another new creation that blows my mind!  Not gonna lie, I was squealing like a little girl again when I saw the babies  But seriously! Your talent for every tiny detail is astounding!! One seriously needs ALOT of patience for a craft like this, and you are a master! ^__^ How you work the petals for something different, yet they still flow into one another as if they actually grew onto the dolls themselves... Just gorgeous!  *giggles* and a bonus story! Lovveeee it! ^__^ So heartwarming and sweet and gives even more life to your creations I agree with faerigirl about possibly putting these up for sale, but yes, the amount of time you obviously put into your work would be difficult to get a fair price. Buuuttttt I still think your BEAUTIFUL jewelry that you make would be a hit! I'm already dying to buy all of your necklaces! Can't wait to see what you might come up with next! ___________________________________________________ Compliments go to Embala for bringing a British cat and an American dog together via Photoshop!

| Thank you so much, Kin. Your comments on my flower dollz are always so delighted, so dear and loving. You gave them life back ... because you made me think of them again and welcomed their secret existence. *giggles happily that you call my writings stories* Thank you for all the help and encouragement during the last years. *hugs* I love playing with pictures, recombine them and show familiar things in a new context. Maybe you and PC have encouraged me to play more. Just play because it's possible. ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| I certaintly hope it has, because I would love to see more of those creative creations.
I checked out the site by the way. Really great work with flowers as well.
You know, the way you have managed to fasten the Physalis as his pants and his sleeves... Howd'u do that? I mean, those things break by minor things. And it was even better as a hat I got to say. Or, is it real Physalis? Anyway, an awesome creation, and I agree with Kindredsoul: babies are adoreble. The dark skinned baby really is a winner With the scale appearance really Works, and making it's head fitting gives it more mer-appearance. | |

| There's enough to feed interest and curiosity for some more weeks. It flatters my choice of silk flowers that you even consider they could be real living ones, Rainflower! Dried physalis would be impossible to work with indeed. With silken ones the main challenge was to fix the blossomes "in shape" and grant the doll some movability. Thank you for the feedback on little Sunspot's headscales. I remember that I was very hesitant what to do ... and decided to go for the more interesing design with scales. I've promised more  ... so here is a rare encounter. Floodguard the Watershaper, a mysterious, almost mythological figure among his kin visits his great...greatgranddaughter Mosswell. The delicate mystic lives all alone in a magical pond hidden deep in the woods.  ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| I think I would like to be Helianthe. Being able to wear bright colors, she must not be in a situation in which she has to hide like a Wolfrider. Adopting a Wavedancer baby is a special-needs challenge, as it means the parents must always live near water.

| OMG I just found my favorite among your Hidden Folks, Embala; Mosswell! She's amasing, with her scale tail and the seaweed to decorate herself with, oh I love it so much.    The scales are something of same like the one on the merbaby, right? Looks like it. I love it. And Yeah, the scales on the head for the baby really captured the mer-look. | |

You're fallen in love with a special one, Rainflower! Mosswell is really unique ... with a very delicate build, a specially shaped tailfin and the only one who has just seaweed covering her. The doll is very old (probably early Sixties) and has a less "eyecatching" chest. The petals I've used for the tail are hydrangea - those are the best option for mermaid scales. There were some years when I could buy prime quality silken hydragea in all colors. For the merbaby I've used other (smaller) petals. Here's a closer view on Mosswell.  ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| Hydragena, of course! I love her, that's all I can say.
I can see the doll is an old model, but that gives her a kind of innocent look, the kind of nature I imagine a young mermaid would be like, living alone with her greatgrandfather fat into a magical place. I imagine she's a bit innocent of nature, just tell if I'm wrong. But I think she looks so sweet. Floodguard looks like he would do anything to protect his innocent relative. | |

| This graceful innoscence was the reason why I've chosen this doll for the lonesome mystic and the leaf-veil top, Rainflower. Innocent of nature - yes. Mosswell has hardly contact with other elves and hardly ever left her magical grove. Wise - yes. She was trained to be the guard of the magical pond and its secret powers from childhood. Young - I don't know. There's not much known about her. She might be one of the younger generation ... or centuries old. It's left to the imagination of the viewer. For Floodguard, one of the ancient elementals, she is a beloved youngling he will protect with all his love and powers.  Floodgueard wasn't planned as an Elf from the beginning. I wondered whether I would be able to do a Water Elemental with my flower petals technique. The blue dahlia petals are supposed to flow down his back and side like a waterfall. And he got the ice staff with the water sphere to enhance the impression.

| Wow, Embala! All of these dolls are amazing! Barbie goes Fairytale! So much detail and hard work!!! You are a great artist and should go into mass-toy-production. Or those companies should produce what you show them.  I would have loved to have had such amazing dolls as a child because they are far more beautiful and ,,magical" than the original Barbies I had. But even for adults, who still like dolls for example, they are great. It is fascinating to see the process of your work and the filigree elements you use. ___________________________________________________  If you see a Fairy Ring In a field of grass, Very lightly step around, Tip-Toe as you pass, Last night Fairies frolicked there And they're sleeping somewhere near. ~ | |

For floodguard, one of the ancient elementals, she is a beloved youngling he'll will protect with all his love and powers. I can imagine, if I may just think freely, that someone who looks so innocent and happy would hardly imagine ever leaving the magical pond, being happy to be where she is. Reminds me of the way Disney princesses were in the beginning. - Embala wrote:

Dahlia petals? I never imagined that for sea weed. But the wolor were excelent for him. He's also quite interesting as a character. I like the ice addition for a black haired character. Excelent job with both | |

| Thank you Fairyring, for all the love for my Hidden Folk and the crafts work put into it. When something is fun I don't feel the work. Chosing the right materials, solving practical problems in the process of bringing an idea to life - that's fun. That's the reason why I vote for the second option - let the company produce my ideas. ^^ Mass production would be WORK. If I'd were a storyteller I might come up with more than a character bio and vague background story, Rainflower. It's an additional pleasure to learn about the ideas and impressions the viewer comes up with. I'd say it was a strange "dahlia" but the color was indeed irresistible to be used as water. Thank you for the praise. That's the last scene from my small "exhibition" at my bank house. (Practically I've filled a showcase nicely for Fasching - a kind of carneval.) Handsome Hibiscus visits his love interest, shy beauty Magnolia. Her little sister Teablossom has "arranged" this meeting at Lil Water Rose's pond ... she so hopes for a real family!  I cannot find the bigger version of this shot so there will be no close ups.  Fortunately it shows nicely the way it is. ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| Aw, what a lovely couple. You did a great job here, and let me tell you why: The masculine strong colors on Hibiscus colors of magenta and strong green with the contrast of the white pinkish Magnolia petals and the pale green leaves. Quite a good idea, compared with the way chinese men and women are pictured; very masculine and very femenine. Magnolia's face seems a bit long, and somehow shat gives her the perfect look for the Magnolia flower. Little Teablossom looks quite sweet as well in her leaves. Great job with this little "Family to be" | |

| Glad you enjoy what you see, fae *dancin* That's great feedback, Rainflower! I was so unsecure about Hibiscus' strong colors and the big flower. It seemed so female from an European point of view - yet it was what I WANTED to use for HIM. You've showed me once more that I should turst my creative instincts more. It's a pity I didn't take a shot of Magnolia from above. the magnolia heart is still there in the middle (almost) of the "skirt" flower. Thank you for your interest. *bows* Little Teablossom is happy ... her plan worked ... ^^ This doll was a gift for a child ... and as expected she does not live anymore.  Lets think of Laguna as a spirit of the Palace now ^^ ... whirling in ethereal spheres. Not sure whether she was the first of the Flower Folk ... or only the first of the mermaids.  ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| Wow, that too was a pretty mermaid, or mer-spirit. I like that hse has a net like shawl, that streangthens the marine-look. And the deep blue agaist the silver, and along with the platina blond hair; love it! She doesn't beat Mosswell in my eyes, but she's still stunning. I actually think I had a Barbie doll like that as a child, or maybe just like that, she reminds of one of my favorites. Although, I recall many of them had very blue eyes a period, and that fits this one perfect. Feeling sorry for the poor child, though  Gentle thoughts for her

| Awww... *hugs Rainflower* Have you misunderstood my comment? The doll didn't make it ^^ - she was worn out from being played with! The girl is fine and a young woman now. Your thoughts will send her loving warmth and luck. Keep your gentleness and caring ways, Rainflower. *HUG* I must be more careful with my wording - "roleplaying mode" can be puzzling. Thanks for the great feedback on Laguna, Rainflower. Your joyful praise makes me happy, Kin ... and proud. It feels so good that my dolls are liked and can bring pleasant moments. ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| You are all so nice! *group hug and dance* I agree, Kin Well ... my mermaids are not really for little girls - as proved. XD Korallia is Laguna's best friend - and she shared her fate.   I've used a second-hand Barbie with tousled discolored hair - and made best use of it. ^^ ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.

| This one is Tide, daughter of Queen Iris of the FlowerFolk.  Actually her name is Hydrangea (Hortensie in German) and she has legs and a nice blossom dress. It's a riddle why she can change her shape and wear a fishtail. The Merblossoms are not known to the FlowerFolk at this point. Or... were they forgotten? Hortensie hides her variant shape from everyone but since little Stickleback was born with a fishtail she considers to talk to her half-sister Lotus. ___________________________________________________ Indem du etwas tust, das dir oder jemand anderem gefällt, erschaffst du bereits einen Wert.
