Description For the 2003 Texas Renaissance festival I wanted to create something that echoed the on coming fall season. The costume is made of several layers of shredded organza over satin. The feature I like most about the dress is the hand beading detail sewn in the center. Plus! The fall leaves overlaying at the back of the dress. The make-up was fun to play with....this is my sister Photography ^_^

First off, this is beautiful! I absolutely love the direction you took with you autumn theme. You did a great job at utilizing a fall color pallet on the dress and matching your make up and hair to it as well. I also really like the fabric choices you made; organza is the fairy costume fabric in my opinion. The wings are also really well done as well, but what type of design were you going for with the white lines?

The only thing that I could think to critique in this photograph is very small. The first thing that stands out to me is the background. You have such a beautiful autumn fairy outfit, but you're standing amidst a background of bright yellow flowers and greenery! While it fits the "nature" aspect of most fairies, I feel like you should have a more autumn reminiscent background to match your outfit. The background doesn't take away from the overall picture much, but it is something I noticed.

Once again, beautiful costume, model, and great photography work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> All around, artwork you should be VERY proud of!

I love the slight cobweb on the wings, but it's beatiful as always.

Whoa. You're absolutely beautiful. You capture the idea of a wood nymph so perfectly, blending the elements of fire and earth effortlessly for autumn.

You have a new fan.

You captivate the fantasy and mental image of what I think a fearie looks like!!! I've been doing seaming works for a little bit and I was wondering if I could have tips on the wings? I'm trying to make the best halloween costume this year. Your work is sooooo gorgeous. I almost cried. Thanks if you do respond.

IΒ΄ve been a big fan of Firefly Path for some time now... And the costume and wings I love the most are those! You ARE a fairy there! And the most delicated one! I admire you guys a lot! The wings... are soooo gorgeous...
You really do the wings with organza? Becouse they stay so cleanly straight, and beautiful...
I know itΒ΄s a heresy what IΒ΄m going to ask you but... could you tell me how did you guys sewed this wing? Becouse I got so inspired buy your job, that IΒ΄m trying to make myself a pair of those(since IΒ΄m kind of far from EUA to order from Daydream Shop)... Please, if you could give me a clue about how to do it, I would be the most thankful person on earth! \o__o;/
Thank you anyway for the gorgeous inspiration, the photos from FireFly Path inspired me on many of my artworks, and my actual concept of wing would not be complete without it!


I big hug from a ever lasting fan,
Ni-chan
