Here is my button fairy. She needs a name if I keep her, any ideas?
Her head is made from polymer clay. I never did this before to clay so I am happy with the results, I know she isn't as beautiful as Sherrie Goshons but I tried.
The buttons are old, old, old from my mother in law.
The hair is some trim I bought that looks like boa, acts like boa but it is on a ribbon, then I added pretty flowers and rhinestones.
The wings are wire and knee hi that were dyed with posh impressions ink, sprayed with krylon and glitter glued with hologram gallery glass paint.
Please leave a comment and let me know you were here, and be honest in your comments please. You never know I may get a generous streak.

oh my gosh shel I love her!! I was checking out cindys button fairies and keep going back to it. they are awesome. I used the fairy name generator and hot this:
Your fairy is called Columbine Rainbowshimmer
She is a fortune bringer.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen when the first flowers begin to blossom.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has multicoloured wings like a butterfly.
hows that for a name

I think your button fairy is adorable! She has a lot of personality! I think a simple name like Hannah or Katy might be appropriate. They don't sound very fairy-ish, but then, I don't know many fairies. I think I need to work on that. Samm
She is wonderful...I love everything about her, from her buttons to her boa hair to her beautiful glittery wings...you go girl...I think her name is Ella Maria.

You should be proud of this! She is wonderful. Especially like her face.
No idea for a name...I have trouble with this too.

Moon Willow she is beautiful, you are such an accomplished artist.
Who would have thought...I collect buttons and Im enthralled by yours she really is divine...hmmm a name. Im thinking. Funky firefly. She reminds me with her colours and shape of the beautiful fire flies and she is very funky. More please total eye candy smiles Michelle
Awesome job! I'm loving her! I also love your blog in general - you've got a great creative spirit. As soon as I saw her I thought of "Phylda" - don't ask me why. It was like hearing Phyllis and a sort-of sing-songy da-dee-da-daaa. Boy - I must need to sleep. My brain is running all over itself. Whatever you name her, she's beautiful - be proud of yourself! (And I think RoseBudinNH really means that's where she should live. LOL) ~The Queen
Moonwillow, I love her. She is charming! What a beautiful, comtemplative face she has. She almost looks as though she is waiting for something, like you were waiting for your mom to come home from work.....I think she could have "willow" in her name, like you do. Windwillow, Dreamwillow. Or maybe her name should be Patience. Hugs to you!
I totally love her, because she is a grown-up fairy! She is not that cute girly kind of fairy, she's a woman! Wonderful job!

She is so beautiful--you have done some amazing work. I especially like the tail end, with the curled wire, believe it or not. Other button fairies I have seen just stopped at the buttons. Yours is quite expressive all around. Good job. :-)
I like it very much. You did a great job!
I think she looks like a "Priscilla" - just my thought :-)
Funny thing - as soon as I saw her picture and before I read that you were looking for a name, I thought she looked like a 'Dulcey'. Don't ask me why, because that name has never entered my brain before that I'm aware of! Weird.
ps...I love her!
Oh, I like her alot, such majestic wings and her little antennae! What a fab job you did on your first clay adventure! I am feeling the button fairie urge myself soon I think!

'Sunset' because of the color of her wings and her far off look.
I love her and she is equally as beautiful as anything I have seen on the sites we've looked at the through the Artist Circle group.
'Never compare your art to others' That is my motherly advise for the day. : )
