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.
