Needing a Name...

Here she is, Miss Number five! I really love this one! I now look at these lovely faeries and ladies and think that they definitely all need names. I know exactly when I've finished them - when they start to look at me like they're alive, then I know - it's time to stop!
They have all developed their own personalities and natures along the way- which is such a wonderful surprise for me. I never expected to feel connected to anything that I made, so this is turning out to be such a lovely ride.
What name do you think this wee faerie deserves?
Thanks for stopping by, X Me.

  1. She's beautiful Donna.

    How about "Hero" which comes from the Greek and means Brave One of the People?

    Actually I really wanted to use that for a girls name, but I was never *brave* enough to use it. I thought it was a bit "out there" IYKWIM?

    Well done on completing another gorgeous creation.

  4. Loving watching these develop. I have no reason or special meaning behind it but I think you should call her Jemima. No idea why, just the first name that came to my head when I saw her! Catch ya Mel x

  5. What about "Eczema"? I know it has some negative connotations, but it really is such a beautiful feminine name, and it comes from the ancient Greek for "rough skinned" which I think is so apt for your mixed media creations! Love, Je Ro Bro ;-)
