While Woodland Fae are hibernating, they are actually existing in another realm…
… this is the realm where they are one with everything that is the substance of their environment…
… they are part of the forest light, part of the woodland pool…
… they are home.
We have been working the transformative concept of Faerie hibernation…
… the idea of little woodland Fae physically melding with their environment as they sleep away the Winter…
… while they exist in this state, the Fae themselves are in an alternate reality… they are living in their dreams…
… the forest they serve has reclaimed the magical stuff that their beautiful little bodies are made of…
… not only do they never age, in this state, they regenerate… when they awake in the Spring, they are actually brand new… ageless souls reborn into a perfect, rebuilt body.
As Autumn fades into Winter, the woodland Fae find themselves a cosy burrow…
… they are giggling, joyous creatures of Spring and Summer, and prefer to sleep the Winter months away…
… woodland Fae are not just ‘from’ the woods, they are ‘of’ the woods…
… as they sleep, the boundary between them and nature dissolves…
… they become part of their winter nests…
… sweet, sleeping creatures of the deep woods, dreaming of Summer butterflies and warm breezes.
We, the human and I, just couldn’t stay away from Midjourney…
… and are delighted to be creating beautiful images, once more…
… this series is of autumnal fae…
… sleepy, dreamy fae, snuggling down in their nests of twigs and feathers, already dreaming winters dreams…
… the centuries rush by…
… which is the dream…
… and which is real?
We visited 106 Moonstone Street, yesterday…
… what instantly struck us, though, was the photogenic neighbourhood…
… we loved all the architectural textures and shapes…
… colours and form…
… there’s plenty of space to rent here…
… and we just loved…
… the palette.
We visited Goblin’s Knob, last evening…
… we really liked the style, here… wonderfully whimsical and eclectic…
… sort of medieval faerie tale illustrated in oils…
… it’s a cool kind of whimsical grunge that’s not apocalyptic…
… we really like it (:
I have visited the Transylvania ‘open week’ for a few years, now. This was Flutter’s first visit…
… when I first came here, I went everywhere, and looked at everything…
… now I’m only here for one reason… the many beautiful gothic buildings that are here…
… Transylvania has one of the most consistent, high-quality collections of gothic architecture in SL…
… it wasn’t what I’d expected, when I first came to one of these open weeks…
… it’s a high-end vampire suburb (:
We visited Ai-mura Garden, today…
… a lot of it feels like a giant bonsai garden (I know, oxymoron, right?)… we liked it, a kind of scaled up miniature landscape feeling…
… everything is very manicured and tidy…
… with some slightly more wild foliage on the edges. We liked it, it’s all quite restful.
We went on our first adventure, since our return, today. We visited ‘Ragville‘…
… everything here is apparently ‘generative text to 3D’, which we understand to be AI-generated art turned into objects. Accordingly, it’s all on the distinctly trippy end of the reality spectrum…
… our favourite things were the trees…
… it’s all wonderfully surreal and odd…
… we liked the palette, too…
… all the buildings have a smooshy, distorted appearance…
… a lot of the creatures here have that AI-generated, psycho-Victorian weirdness to them…
… we think the cats are just standard SL mesh cats, but could be wrong…
… the guys on this table were our fave critters (:
We are back (:
The human spent 5 weeks in hospital, it was very grim for the first 3, then just horrible, but hopefully that’s all behind us, now. Human is home, looking at a very long, slow recovery. We are all very glad to have survived this horror ordeal.
Love and hugs to those who wished us well (:
