Back to school means my daughter brings home every sniffle she goes by in school. 
I have shifted from the grave yard shift to a day time shift. Time to take care of some family appointments and general things that get neglected on a night shift schedule. 
I did have some fun this last weekend at the Milton Bazaar. I saw a bunch of people I already knew and met some new friends along the way. I also managed to get a concept drawn for my new creature. I think she will be the Earth Guardian. To show her size her orb that holds her domain will be bigger then the other guardians I have done. 
It is kind of nice to sit down with my traditional tools every now and then and just doodle!

A friend of mine died recently. His name was Duane Galbreath. When you start vending in the Faerie world you end up with a second family. Duane was definitely one of them! He was a mask maker. He was one of the first people to greet me in the Faerie Family when I was new. He was energetic, always happy, and loved making people sparkle! He had a mask for every dress and ever occasion. I looked up to him a lot. He was so excited when I asked him if I could use his work in my masquerade set of faeries. I never got around to it. Now he is gone and so as a tribute to a friend and Faerie family member I am adding him to my masquerade faerie set. I figure that is where the "Royal Mask Maker" belongs in this story. Making my ballroom sparkle. Here are some updates so far.
