Early concepts for Sailcloth. Even the smallest changes can make a big difference in a face.
Sailcloth? No, no, no... I call it...
The PARASHAWL!
Link: ...It smells nice too.

Ship of the Skies
It was the tiniest thing. A little boat made from some light wood with a sailcloth of spider-silk. There was a little candle tied beneath what seemed to be a large balloon of the same spider-silk. The Pixies were having fun as their tiny vessel sailed through the skies. Somehow they’d come across the human concept of pirates and had all dressed accordingly. There were eye patches and peg legs abounding, though no one was missing an eye or a limb. And one particularly inventive pixie had found a tin fishing hook and was brandishing it about in his own perfectly functional hand. To move forward they had bargained with a small and gentle wind sprite who kept their sails filled with his breath and sent them gliding across hills that are rippling with waves of soft purple grasses. Where do they sail to? Nobody knows, not even they. The destination is not as important as the journey. So on they sail, seeking out the next greatest adventure.
