"Bebhinn" Sold Deep in the forest they call Hunter Ridge is a sanctuary for the believers and fair folk alike. This is a place where only the true of heart may enter the Great Oak which beholds the doorway to Faery Haven...
Bebhinn (pronounced BAY vin) is a Spring Faery. Bebhinn means "fair lady" in Irish. Spring Faeries wake the seeds from their slumber so that the flower faeries may do their work. Spring Faeries are also in charge of adding for first colors of Spring to the landscape. Bebhinn is completely hand sculpted from polymer clay built over a wire armature for strength. Bebhinn is just barely over 3 inches in the seated position. She is extremely detailed and dressed in thin purple fabric. Her purple eyes are hand painted using many thin layers of paint to create the illusion of depth. Her wings are a mix of iridescent material mixed with glaze and embossing powders over a wire armature. She has finger and toenails individually sculpted from clay. Her hair is a pumpkin red color. Faeries resemble humans much more than other groups of wee folk. Though they may look humanistic, they have an other worldly quality. They are often delicate both in appearance and attitude. There are faeries for many things in nature, such as Frost Faeries, Dewdrop Faeries, Autumn Faeries, Flower Faeries, Dark Faeries, House Faeries, and Forest Faeries, just to name a few. Faeries are fierce nature lovers, vain, hard working, mischievous, fun loving, and mirror all spectrums of the human personality.
All Faery Haven sculptures are completely hand sculpted WITHOUT any use of molds. Each is its own unique being. Artist Sarah Arruda has been featured in several publications including: Contemporary Doll Collector (May 2003 issue)
