pameladlloyd: Alya, an original character by Ian L. Powell (fairy promises)
Today, by following various links I came across [livejournal.com profile] frantic_mice' journal, which is friends-locked, but has a beautiful image created by artist Michelle Bradshaw (also known as Pixiwillow) on the front page. Intrigued, I searched for and found the Pixiwillow website, which has lots of beautiful images of her mixed media and polymer clay sculpture figurines, which depict various life-sized (as in, 2-4 inches tall) fairies and pixies, and their animal companions, as well as some fairytale-based scenes. All very cool.

[livejournal.com profile] asakiyume -- I think you will enjoy this picture: Nighthawk, because of your love for all things corvine.

Updated to add that in the process of poking around on the Froud site, I discovered a link to FaerieRadio.com, which I have been listening too ever since. Lovely music.
pameladlloyd: Alya, an original character by Ian L. Powell (tell me a story)
Today's post on [livejournal.com profile] kazdreamer's journal is Guest Blog & Contest: Suzanne McLeod. Suzanne McLeod ([livejournal.com profile] suzannemcleod), a writer from the UK, discusses her decision to include real people as characters in her first novel, The Sweet Scent of Blood, and provides a link to chapter one, so you can get a taste of her work. The Sweet Scent of Blood is a vampire (and other creatures that go bump in the night) novel, what is now called urban fantasy,* and I found chapter one, along with Ms. McLeod's guest blog, a fun read.

Oh, and by the way, by leaving a comment on the post in [livejournal.com profile] kazdreamer's journal before this Sunday, September 7th, you enter a contest to win a signed copy of the book.

So, stroll on over and take a peek.

* I'm still reeling from the realignment of my understanding of the term to what is sometimes also called Paranormal Romance, as to me it was the Fae (which show up in chapter one of TSSoB, btw), and magic in general, in an urban setting, more in line with what deLint does, or Emma Bull in War for the Oaks, but which now, if I've got my terminology straight, is called mythic fiction, or mythic fantasy. (If I didn't confuse you with that sentence you're doing better than I am. *g*)
