Nobody Loves a Fairy When She's Forty

"Nobody loves a fairy
when she's forty
Nobody loves a fairy
when she's old

She may still have a magic power but that is not enough
They like their bit of magic
from a younger bit of stuff
When once your silver star
has lost its glitter
And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold
Your fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending
No-one loves a fairy
when she's old"

Inspired by the above song written by Arthur Leclerq in 1934 and sung by Tessie O'Shea. I first heard it performed by Lois Alt of the Ardensingers-truly hilarious.

All my figures are individually hand-sculpted in 1:12 scale from polymer clay. They are lovingly painted using Genesis heat set oils, costumed in the finest fabrics and wigged with English Viscose or Tibetan lamb hair. No commercial molds are used—each is a one-of-a-kind creation. Interested buyers may purchase directly online, or contact me at mare@whitehorsestudio.com. Commissions accepted.
