every once in a wee while my eye catches a glimpse
of treasures that make me catch my breath
and i did gasp when i saw the wonderful sculptures
by irish artist fidelma massey
creatures from her imagination
and yet they have a familiar feel to them
steeped in mythology & otherworldliness
they speak of times long past
or of wonders hidden just beyond our world
her site is so very worth a visit
many more treasure to behold
breath takingly beautiful love the sculptures- you find the most stunning art work!! wow! love your inspirational blog xxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Ruthie! Oh these are gorgeous. They looks as if they could have been invented by that much missed genius, Jim Henson's. I watched The Dark Crystal the other day (for the gazillionth time!) and it's still as amazing over 20 years later... Gelflings, Mystics, Skeksis and other magical creatures.
