My illuminated antlers headpieces are now available on my website. Dmandersonartist.com Thanks to Woodside Animatronics for the engineering.

Illuminated antlers headpieces, a collaboration with Woodside Animatronics (on insta). These will be available on my website dmandersonartist.com this week.

A close up of the photo taken by @autumnluciano.bsky.social that appears in the spring issue of @enchantedlivingmag.bsky.social Gown, wings, mushroom prop and model: me. #fantasyphotography #fantasycostume #faery #faecostume

Last fall I was approached by Enchanted Living magazine and asked to submit something for their spring mushroom issue. I created a mushroom dress and worked with @autumnlucianostudios to capture portraits that made me feel like I was in a fairytale. Flat lay photo by Lisa Gill

A quick sketch on blue pencil from a few nights ago. I actually love how the softness of the pencil gave it a soft focus, dreamy quality.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use one piece of art to convince people to follow you

A beautiful thing to think about. Remembering the ethereal scent of bluebells in the English spring air...

You should go order your copy of this issue, it's my first real magazine appearance!

#brettsfaebruarychallenge2025 day 3: classic imp. Super quick watercolor sketch, maybe 15 minutes?

Late. But day two of #brettsfaebruarychallenge2025 an amanita elf. #art #fae

Day one of #brettsfaebruarychallenge, The Holly King.

Today’s glimmer is this article: caityjohnstone.medium.com/how-to-be-ha... But I’ll admit it’s hard to have any glimmers right now, hearing about the new executive order yesterday restricting gender affirming care to citizens age 19 and under.

I am a maker of magic, and I need to remember that even (or perhaps especially) now, that is important. It's hard to create. But if I can share even a tiny glimmer, it's something. Tiny faery sketch I did over breakfast, 3x5in

Hi. 🥹

Some more shots of #brianfroud and #wendyfroud in the custom troll tails I made for them. #faery #fairytail #faecosplay

Detail shots of the custom troll tail I created for artist Brian Froud. Tooled leather, watches metal trinkets with meaningful motifs, hand sculpted hag stones, and vintage fabrics. #brianfroud #faerie #faecosplay #thedarkcrystal

I'm currently working on this year's batch of wearable troll tails. If you've been considering a custom tail, now is the time to contact me, I won't have time later in the year. Contact through my website dmandersonartist.com or dmandersonartist.etsy.com

Another past project, a little troll. #artdoll #sculpture #faery #froud #fantasyart

The spirit of roots, who asks us to remember where we have come from, and what we're a part of. Shown at the Fernie Brae Gallery several years ago. #faerie #fae #artdoll #fantasyart #fairyart #mythicart

Sharing some older sculptural work as I work on new pieces I'm not ready to share yet.

I sent off my last in stock set of these wings this week. This design was created with the generous permission of artist Brian Froud, based on the cover faery of his bestselling book, Faeries. I'll be making more wings soon, so feel free to reach out if you'd like some. #faeries #froud

Been working on another sculpt. Original done in #monsterclay and then cast in resin. I'll be doing some of these in cold cast bronze as well. #mythicart #fae #faerie #fairyart #faeryart #sculpture

I’m still experimenting with acrylic markers and now adding in gouache to see how they play together. #art #faerie #faerieart #fantasyart #fantasy #traditionalart #acrylicmarker #gouache

He looks to you in the light of gentle morning…. Waiting eagerly for your story and belief in magick. Sculpted by me

Part 2: the format is not useful. The search function sucks. I can't find anyone or any topics I'm interested in. As an artist, I feel like there is no way to get my posts in front of an audience. If you like this app, please tell me why and maybe give me some tips.

Part 1, because 🤬 character limit. Does anyone know how to use this damn app? Yes, this is my old person moment where I am filled with rage and frustration at trying to learn a new technology, but seriously, I have found zero redeeming features here other than "well it's not meta".

Go forth and follow this magical being!

My first experiment with cold cast metal! This is an original sculpt done in cold cast copper, and oxidized. What else can I do with this technique?

Another of the gorgeous shots @russturnerphoto.bsky.social took of me. Wings by me, glowing antlers are a collab with Woodside Animatronics, and I'll have 5 pairs available after the new year.

Yule faery, or ghost of Christmas past? Do you need to know?

I've been working on some glowing antlers headpieces with Woodside Animatronics (give him a follow on fb and Insta, he's not on here). I have a photoshoot with them today, and a batch of 5 coming to my website after the new year!

Half way through this book, and looking for more books on the prehistory/very early history of the British isles. Any suggestions?

My primrose style wings worn by one of the most magical creatures I've ever seen! 🥰

A little taste of what I make. These are aluminum framed wearable vinyl faery wings. This particular pair is based (with permission) on one of the paintings of artist Brian Froud. #faery #brianfroud #fairywings

I am. Admittedly terrible about social media, particularly learning new ones. I wanted. To see what the fuss was about over here. Anyone have recs for artists, writers, and lovers of mythic folklore to follow?
