* Deer Boy took me to his favourite spot in the forest... * One night, when the forest grew dark with the night, Deer Boy, who lived in the forest, found a little girl crying. She was frightened, because she got lost in the forest and was afraid of being there at night. Deer Boy decided he would take care of her until the day returned. He took her under his wing, and spent the night showing her that the forest at night is a magical place, not a scary one. They watched the dance of the fireflies. They feasted at the glowing faeries’ celebrations. They climbed up a hill to Deer Boy’s favourite spot, where the stars were the brightest and appeared close to their reach. The little girl was touched by all the beauty and her fear of the forest at night disappeared. She returned home safely that day, but she often visits Deer Boy and her new forest friends late at night. Sold

* Finally they revealed themselves * The Piano Man knew that the snow elves lived in the forest where his home was. He had tried all kinds of tricks to draw them out, but nothing ever worked. He decided it would take something extraordinary. One day he played his piano in the middle of the forest. After a few minutes, there they were… Finally they revealed themselves! Some ran with joy towards Piano Man, others looked from behind trees, too timid to face the strange scene. Eventually the wonderful music won over all the elves and The Piano Man had the most otherworldly audience. Sculpted and painted scene inside a shadow box polymer clay and wood, 11x14x4.5" 2012 Sold

* Little Red and the mushroom path * Little Red walked home through the forest as the evening neared. She walked through her favourite path, where she always felt safe. She called it “the mushroom path” , because it was covered in red mushrooms. It was a strange spot as this was the only one in the whole forest with these particular mushrooms. Little Red always felt like she was being watched over when she walked there. She imagined that the mushrooms were little elves, her little guardians keeping her safe. She imagined catching one in action, one clumsy elf who forgot to “play” mushroom. Little did she know how close to the truth her fantasies really are. But that is a story for a different time… Sculpted and painted scene inside a shadow box polymer clay and wood, 11x14x4.5" 2012 available contact info@wallspacegallery.ca
