EBW March Challenge - Fairy Tales

Well it is that time again for the Monthly challenge for my beadweaving group Etsy Beadweavers Street Team.  This months challenge theme is "Fairy Tales - The challenge piece should be inspired by a known Fairytale. Every participant needs to describe in their listing what the inspiration and name of the Fairy Tale. The piece could represent absolutely anything: good or evil characters, flowers, objects, animals or places and castles, but in needs to be tied to a story."  My challenge piece was inspired by the modern "Fairy Tale" Peter Pan and the Lost Boys so I created for Tinker Bell a Cuff of pixie dust. 

Here is the link to my shop so that you can read the full description of the cuff and its inspiration. Tinker Bell Pixie Dust Cuff.  The voting starts on March 9 and runs until the 15th so be sure that you visit http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ and cast your vote for your favorite "Fairy Tale".  There are as usual many wondeful and talented entries to choose from.

What type of art work do you do? I'm a painter who has added bead weaving to her repertoire of media. 2. How did you get started doing art work? Someone gave me a crayon or pencil and I went to town! Among my earliest memories is of visitng a museum when I was four years old and being totally mesmerized by the Native American exhibits of textiles and decorative work. I stood there staring and staring and had to be dragged away. 3. Do you do any other crafts? I have done some small fiber weaving (loom work interestingly enough and I love it), lace making (le
