"Niamh" 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...
Niamh (pronounced Neve) is a Forest Faery. She is good natured and friendly to all creatures. Forest Faeries not only watch over the trees in the forest, but also the animals which inhabit it. Niamh is also particularly fond of the Humans who live on Hunter Ridge, and often sits on a small pine tree near their house watching them drink their morning coffee. She enjoys watching the couple, the woman in particular, because the woman is very kind to the animals. She watches her feed the birds and then both Niamh and the woman sit and watch all the beautiful birds fly around the feeders. Niamh is completely hand sculpted from polymer clay built over a wire armature for strength. Niamh is about 3 inches in the seated position, and would be about 5 1/2 inches if standing. She is extremely detailed and dressed in colors of blues, purples and greens. Her blue eyes are hand painted using many thin layers of paint to create the illusion of depth. Her wings are a flexible polymer over a wire armature. She has finger and toenails individually sculpted from clay.
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.
