sidhe_etain, I was introduced to this lovely fae lady:
The work of Australian artist, Lorell Lehman, the Dark Faerie intrigued me enough that I followed the link to her blog, Not all Faeries are Beautiful. I loved what I found there, so I wanted to share it with all of you.
Also, by following the links on Lorell's Links page, I was introduced to several other artists, many of whom also do figurative work featuring the fae folk, and also found the online homes of a few artists I'd encountered in other contexts.
Some of my favorites are:
I was also gratified to find Dan Reeder's Gourmet Paper Mache page. I've got a copy of his book, Simple Screamer: A Guide to the Art of Papier and Cloth Mache, which he says is now out of print. I loved using his papier mâché techniques (he prefers to call them "paper mache") on a couple of projects with my boys, so it was wonderful to learn that he's got video footage and additional books, including one coming out soon.

Some of my favorites are:
- E.J. Taylor
- Kat Soto—I love this figure of a Medieval Plague Doctor (There's a contemporary image of a plague doctor in this Wikipedia article.)
- Lisa Lichtenfels—I think her cloth sculptures are truly amazing; probably the finest work of this kind that I've ever seen.
