Jolly Roger pixie door

Doors are available to buy here.

This door was inspired by the skull and cross bones, the jolly roger. I don't want my doors to ever become too cutesy - the pixies I know would most likely eat Walt Disney and stick mushrooms up snow whites nose (or at least give her athletes foot)...

The diva here is singing out her soul, and not all of it is pretty, though everything she says has beauty...

Wassail Door

Pixie doors are available to buy here.

This door was made in celebration of the first apples of year. Wassail!

(Wassail meens good health in Saxon, and is a thanks and a blessing given to apple trees still used in the Westcountry)

A Wassail rhyme from Somerset -

Wassail the trees soes they may bare, 
many an apple and many pair,
soes they may grow
and they may bow
and they may bring us apples eno

It also calls on the Cornish litany, having a long leggety beasty!

Wassail!

The intention of this blog is to log all the doors I have made (and sold).

Doors still available are to be found here.

This first door was intended only to be used by Pixies - i.e. only by the riff raff, none of them hoity faerie queen types. It was especially for the pixilated...
