alentine Fairies live among the roses. Specifically, old-fashioned roses. So, it is hard to find them in your backyard. You are likely to spot them at parks and rose farms. Not surprisingly, when I received a bag of silk rose petals, my mind started soaring about the possibilities across the road and in an incredibly special park, at least for me. My mind started designing this unique Valentine Fairy Stick Puppet ornament.
The neighborhood of Clintonville in Columbus, Ohio, is the home of The Park of Roses. In fact, it is 149 acres covered with over 400 varieties of roses planted in the most beautiful designs. So, there is no surprise that this wonderful park is a haven for Valentine Faeries.
I often take long walks through the roses and become intoxicated by their perfume. Their breadth of colors and shapes are a great inspiration. Towards the end of the park, there is a section full of old-fashioned roses which I love. Towards late summer, the roses’ blooms shrivel. At that time, you may be lucky to catch a glimpse of the Valentine Fairies. Surprisingly, fluttering around the long boughs of these old-fashion bushes because they cannot camouflage themselves among the spent blooms.
My husband Steve is a frequent thrift store customer. One day, he came home with a large bag filled of silk red rose petals. You know, the ones that flower girls sprinkle throughout the isle before the bride makes her entrance. Thanking him for his finding, I dumped the content of the bag on the floor. Remarkably, there were countless petals of limitless shades of red and sheerness. It was obvious to me what ornament I could make with these petals.
Like the Flower Fairy, I gave the unique Valentine Fairy silky brunette hair that cascades down her side. Fairy Lore tells us that Valentine Fairies fly holding a heart-shaped gem, so that, on their command, they can sprinkle Valentine crystals as they fly. These crystals have a similar effect to that of a Cupid’s arrow. So, I added a heart-shaped pearl for her to hold. Next, I covered her head with a flower hat. Then, I gave her large pink wings made from lace and sheer material. Finally, I added ribbons streaming from her waist to represent the flow of magic Valentine sprinkles.
