Here is a little peek at this work in progress. I know, I know, I'm very slow! It's been a somewhat hectic few days with travel and RV maintenance, so I'm happy for any big or little time I get with my art!

We were utterly delighted to come across this tiny parade of flowers on our evening walk!

Do you think they are preparing for a fairy ball?

Here is how this patient fairy bear is coming along!

This moth was adamant that more drolly root be added to this potion to ensure that the recipient would have enough fits of giggles, which they sorely need right now!

One might not think it, but moths make wonderful partners for potion makers! Their tiny taste buds are able to discern minute adjustments needed to get them just right.

They also enjoy getting tipsy from the work!

Memories from a past autumn. This was my piece for the Inktober prompt, "Mysterious Bones"

Just some inky calm to bring a little piece to your day and a friendly reminder to let yourself imagine something utterly ridiculous today if it brings you joy 💕

Happy October! Start of the Holiday season!

This is the October page for the 2026 Calendar!

We already have the RV decorated for Halloween! Do you decorate? Do you lean cute and autumny or horror?

The lives of butterflies are fleeting, so even the stories they tell of every day things are of them being new and wondrous!

This is why fairy Bears enjoy their stories so much!

A little peek at how this fairy bear is coming along 💗

I know, I know poor guy has been having to wait while so many other projects cut in line ahead of him!

Don't forget to take some time to do something you love today! A bit of drawing, a cup of tea, walking through the forest looking for fairy rings hoping to get transported to a world where "finance" is a humorous myth and business casual means wearing daisies in your hair #fairytale #storybook

This purple ink is growing on me!

This castle, and the pumpkin house are up for adoption now!

Now that our last market is done, I'm looking forward to more experimentation time!

It's our last market for a long while and it's raining 😅

We're at Lantern Ridge Farm Market in Sandia Park, NM if anyone is willing to venture out in the drizzle! 🌧️

oakringart.bsky.social @oakringart.bsky.social · 18d

You might think that a pumpkin house wouldn't last long, being a pumpkin and all, but in the Faewood, when someone loves their home, it brings it to life.

Tomorrow is our very last market of the year!

Once upon a time, in a land that is not so far, but no one can remember the way...

I'm experimenting with some purple ink this time. What do you think?

Happy belated International Hobbit Day! It has to be good luck that we started our journey on that day, right?

This will be us tomorrow! A happy home trundling down the road on to new adventures!

This is an older piece, but too fitting to resist today!

Prints are available!

If you are having trouble spotting fairy bears, try closing your eyes and listening for them instead!

They sound sort of like chipmunks, sort of like sparrows, and sort of like soft dirt being walked on.

Our website is running amok and we are working to fix it!
If you got a "we can't ship there" error, it's not you, it's us!

I've just added a gaggle of mini originals to our shoppe!

These have a very affordable price range, 15-45 in this group, so that most people who want a little bit of something handmade, original, can enjoy one, and I get to enjoy making them!

I've taken some art play time with this glowing blue ink! I can't decide if I should add some color or let it be with this old world porcelain vibe? What do you think?

To attract fairy bears into your garden you need places for them to sit and bask in the sunlight. This can be toadstools, mossy rocks, sunflowers or painstakingly handcrafted tiny armchairs with the fairy bears' names embroidered on decorative cushions.

It is a reality of having a toadstool house that one will end up sharing their home with a fairy frog or toad!

Fairy bears love honey, but are easily fended off by bees. Even when they try to barter with flower teas and shiny pebbles.

You can save a them from their sad honeyless state by offering them thimble full of honey, or bits of honey biscuits.

Fairy bears have all of the cute cuddly friend shaped qualities of large bears, but without the "might eat you aspect"

They might however, chew on your shoes if you step on their favorite toadstool, so do watch where you step!
