Ruth is Duane the Mask Maker's wife. The inspiration for her dress came form the movie "Labyrinth". It is modeled after the dress Sarah wore to the masquerade ball.
I am very proud of how her dress came out. I was worried at first about making the dress all black. After some thought I decided Raven feathers are not all black. The feathers have an iridescent color to them that I tried to bring out in her dress. This picture set will not make it to my store until after Spring Fairy Festival on the 30th. What I make from this set at the festival will be donated to Ruth the model for this picture. Duane her husband passed away and I would like to pay my respects by giving back to her the way her husband gave to out faerie community. |

Thank you Desi' Seibl. It is still hard to believe he is gone and I will not be seeing him at this upcoming event. He was always a bright spot in the shows I went to. I couldn't wait to talk to him about what happened that year and to see all the pretty things he had made.
