"Merle the 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...
Merle is a coy little pixie who looks sweeter than she really is. She is very mischievous and is constantly looking for new tricks to play on humans. Merle is completely hand sculpted from polymer clay built over a wire armature for strength. Merle is about 3 1/2 inches, or 4 1/2 inches to the top of her cap. Her stockings have been hand painted using artist quality paints and she is adorned with her own bottle of pixie dust. She has light brown tibetan lamb hair topped off with a red pixie cap made from silk rose petals.
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.
