Anatomy of Fantasy

My grandma died this day last year. I worked today and go back to work at 4am. A lot of things and I feel like all anyone wants is a fucking smile and positivity. I am not positive. I'm depressed and feeling alone.

So the other day I received in post a baby kiwi gryphon prototype from @leesmenagerie ! Ever since the little chittering beastie waddled out of its box- the boggart's been acting strangely. I see why, now. Oh god. #boggart #gryphon #mobile #thatwasfast #worm #leesmenagerie #changelingcircle

From what I've observed, kappa hybrids are extremely difficult to care for. Doubly so if they're blind and albino. So for someone who is so experienced with magical creatures to have adopted her- I couldn't be happier. She will be well cared for! (Also, homg I know I mentioned before but thank you for the baby photos!) #albino #kappa #snappingturtle #hybrid #hatchling #magicalcreatures #mythicalcreatures #polymerclay #ilovephotos #changelingcircle

Jupitor was born in 2001 and raised in this house. Has since mothered kittens of her own (spay/nueter your kitties, please.) She's the resident big mama here. She never leaves my side, doesn't care what cat is by her. My rattie used to play on her and she'd just chill. She's only vocal about treats, chin scratchies, and closed doors. She naps a lot more often now. Deep sleeps and dream-twitches. #temppost #sorry #shesjusttoocute

I don't want to post too much just yet, but here is the fourth booklet made so far. Each creature from the Changeling Circle will come with a care guide/booklet to help you get on your way with your new home addition. #careguide #booklet #ooak #kappa #changelingcircle

Not the usual post of critters, but one of the hydrangea bushes outside of my house has some of the most brilliant purple bushels of blossoms. I couldn't capture the lush tone on my phone but I tried. ): Love of color is seeing a flower bloom for the first time, and catching your breath over the still of explosions in the hues of a petal.

Each creature of the changeling circle comes with a custom care kit. Booklets with basic details and tips are provided for each. Mandrake roots come with silk or milk, naga babies come with special elixers and stones, and kappas, come with nesting and food. This was the bottle sent with the first kappa hatchling. Diced dried cucumbers and an odama koi fish head. The boggart comes with a cage and a seething, simmering, inextinguishable rage.. But maybe that's just with me. #kappa #food #polymerclay #changelingcircle

Light Spirit crawling around in it's bottle. These entities are very hard to find, notoriously difficult to catch, and can escape fairly easily afterwards. Light spirits consume shadows and excrete light as part of their digestive process. #wip #lightspirit #citrine #magicalcreatures #magic #polymerclay #changelingcircle #iftheywhisper #dontlookatthem

One more #fbf I like the wispy willows and had a blast adding nose and ear hair to this cantankerous old coot. He's also got hammer nails, and a shriveled up pinky toe that had gangrene. As well as deep scars on his hands. The way I see it, just because he's a sprite, doesn't mean he has to be cute. Dude works with his hands, and he works hard. I may not like him, but he's earned some respect. (Still try to keep him caged, though.) #boggart #brownie #sprite #magicalcreatures #polymerclay #bloodpressure #changelingcircle

#fbf to the making of these little mandrake crowns. These little tubers are in shop still for thirty a piece, and come with a care guide, some silk, and of course, their pot with the noise dampening seal. (A basic alphabet with translation key in the care guide.) Little milk bathing root is also in the shop as well. :3 #mandrakeroot #mandrake #magicalcreatures #mythicalcreatures #polymerclay #changelingcircle

Light Spirits aren't from the human realm. As such, we have an extremely limited understanding of these entities. Smaller ones are often mistaken for fireflies, though they can grow up to three inches in length. Their humanistic features are unnerving. They don't reproduce (here) but can live indefinitely if conditions allow. Between the discovery of fire and electricity- they were our main source of light, as they consume shadows and pass out light. They are believed to be almost extinct in our world now. #lightspirit #magicalcreatures #wip #polymerclay #changelingcircle

It was a monumentally arduous task, capturing each little stone beast. Something most people have foolishly chosen to forget, or never learn about. These dragons aren't dead, but dreaming. Frozen in place via the stones staked into their teeny chests. So since people have decided to remain ignorant to the history, they keep them in their homes, collect them, even. As these little monsters have proven to terrify malicious spirits and sprites. All well and good, until one has its stone knocked loose and it wakes up. It's happened before, and unfortunately most insurance plans don't cover "acts of gargoyles." (Just a warning.) #gargoyle #structuraldamage #magicalcreatures #mythicalcreatures #amethyst #polymerclay #stone #changelingcircle

A chip off the ol' block. Literally. When the dragon was vanquished, although they could not destroy the head, they did manage to demolish the body, and from that body came a plethora of tiny, raging, and very mischevious stone dragons. It's not really mentioned in the stories, presumably because a lot of mishaps shortly afterward can be directly linked to the "accident" of these small beasts coming to life. And although incidents of house fires and falling shingles did diminish to nothing after they were rounded up- stories also failed to mention the increase in the rat population almost immediately afterwards. #gargoyle #dragon #tiny #angry #stone #amethyst #magicalcreatures #mythicalcreatures #polymerclay #changelingcircle
