"Val the Valentine Pixie"
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...
Val is a tiny Valentine pixie who has had way too much chocolate! He just couldn't resist opening the red heart shaped box sitting on the human's door step. It just smelled so good! "I'll just have one little bite", he thought to himself, "no one will even notice". Next thing he knew he was sitting in a box of half eaten chocolates with an awful tummy ache. Val is completely hand sculpted from polymer clay built over a wire armature for strength. Val is about 3 1/2 inches to the top of his cap. He would be about 5 1/2 inches if standing. His stockings have been hand painted using artist quality paints and he is adorned with his own bottle of pixie dust. His chocolates are all hand sculpted from polymer clay. He comes with the heart shaped box and 16 chocolates.
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.
