"Sam" Sold
A House Brownie 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...
Sam is a sweet little Brownie who loves to organize pantries, label spice racks, and gather fresh herbs for his human family. He is often so proud of the work he has done that he will sit by his humans' bedside and wait for them to wake in the morning to see his work!
Brownies are a brownish colored wee folk that aid humans in household chores. They have black eyes, tattered clothes, and have so little of a nose that it appears to be just nostrils. They do chores for their human family at night while the rest of the family sleeps. They will stay at a home indefinitely, as long as they are not offended. Reward your Brownie with gifts of cake and cream, but never leave him new clothes, no matter how tattered his may look. One sight of the new clothes and the Brownie will go into a fit of rage, offended by the gesture. He will leave the house immediately and never return. Also never criticize a Brownie's work, as this too will cause the Brownie to leave, but not before he makes a mess of things. A Brownie is protective of his home and is good for keeping those pesky goblins away.
Sam is hand sculpted from polymer clay. His wings are a flexible polymer and very translucent. His stockings are painted from artist quality heat set paints. He wears a real acorn cap atop his head. He is about 3 inches to the top of his cap and about 4 inches long. He is highly detailed and even has hand sculpted fingernails that have been applied one by one. Sam's hair is tibetan lamb and his shirt is made from faux leaves.
All Faery Haven sculptures are PURE SCULPTS. This means that each sculpture is 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)
