""Hedda the Naughty Pixie" 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...
Hedda is quite a naughty little pixie! She pelts people with acorns as they walk by her tree, then makes faces at them while they try to get to her! She is too fast for anyone to ever catch her, so she gets close enough to pull a couple of eyelashes then whizzes away as the innocent person yells in pain! Hedda is what they call a Green Pixie. They are called this because of their green wings. Green Pixies are often very very naughty, and are not near as good natured as their Red Pixie cousins. Green Pixies often wear red tights and acorn caps, though some will wear the traditional pointed cap. Hedda is completely hand sculpted from polymer clay built over a wire armature for strength. Hedda is about 3 inches to the top of her cap and about 4 1/2 inches long. Her stockings have been hand painted using artist quality paints and she is adorned with her own bottle of pixie dust. She has fiery red tibetan lamb hair topped off with a real acorn cap.
Pixies are jolly creatures, with squinty black eyes, turned up noses, and pot bellies. Pixies are a bit more impish looking than their faery cousins, and not near as fashion conscious. The are often adorned with findings and naturals from the forest. Many of them love to dress in green and wear pointy red caps. Though pixies are good natured, they do have a very mischievous side. If you are not careful, they may tie your shoes together or hide your keys. This may be quite troublesome to a human, but to a pixie it is all harmless fun. Like many of the wee folk, pixies can have a bit of a mean streak, especially if provoked. They have been know to do such things as plucking eyelashes, to acorning houses.
