I believe the green kids were fairy folk. It's just as farfetched as as them being dimensional travelers, and given that the incident happened in England, which has a long fairy tradition (as does every place touched by the Celts over the past 3000 years), it makes a weird sort of sense.

Faerie Keys

I had often wondered how faeries would hide their dwelling from us, even other faeries and I believe I have found the answer. A beautiful creature of the faerie kin called Layena gave me a small key "much to small to open a conventional sized door" and gave me direction to find her tree in the woods. Upon finding her tree she instructed me to call her name and then use the key in a small opening "two branches up and on the left" I did as she had instructed me to do and the next thing I remember was seeing a multitude of colours so bright that I had to shield my eyes, a delicate then hand holding mine, pulling me towards it.

                                                                                                                                   "This Entry Continues in Journal 19"                                                                                                                                            ~Burned Raven~

Note: It would seem that some faeries have their own realm carved out of reality itself, and the only way to gain access to it is through the use of an enchanted key. From what I have pieced together their are creatures called "Fay Architects". Faeries who can pay for their services will build for them their own space or "realm", the bigger the realm the higher the cost. For each realm two keys are crafted which can be used to gain access to said realm, as an extra security measure the name of the faerie it was created for must be spoken just before or after turning the key to activate it. What is fascinating about this is that to anchor the realm to this one they have to tether it to something of this world. A tree or even a rock will do, anything with a small opening in which the key can fit.

This is something I must look more into, I am unsure what these Fay architects take in forms of currency but I would not mind having my own realm, it could solve my current inventory problem.

Admiring the Process

I have always enjoyed viewing a persons painting or artwork just before its finished or during its creation. Viewing it in this state is always a great reminder of what goes into creating a piece of artwork and that they do not just popup out of thin air.

Something I think a lot of people tend to forget these days when you can buy so much so cheaply, at least that what I think anyway.

These are a few of my paintings before and after shots

Once when I was at art college I had a teacher tell me they preferred the colour samples I do on the side of my paintings more that what I paint :/

Prints are still on my store at the moment

Does anyone else prefer the colour tests I sometimes do on the side of my paintings, have I really been throwing away the best part of the picture all theses years?

Saw a white horse in my back yard last night. It was thin like, dead thin. Its face had the shape of a dear but it was definitely a horse. I don't remember what time it was I just remember waking up to use the bathroom. On my way back to bed I looked out the window. It was next to my garden looking at me. I stared at it for a while because I didn't know if it was real, Untill It moved its head to the side almost the same way I did. When it finally moved that broke me out of whatever trance i was in looking at this thing. When it did that I looked away and went back to bed. No chills, no fear, confusion yes. I remember thinking... must be fay

Ah, I am so glad to see the Elves again. I have missed them! Their design is so fantastical~

(At least, I suppose they are meant to be the Elves...?)
