in pools among the rushes (the waters and the wild #21)

This WAS a faerie home decor piece when I made it, lo those many months ago, but since then there’s been pixy inflation, so now it’s pixy home decor.

five dollars from each pixy home decor piece will go to SLV’s Tea Spot • it’s a new queer community center here in Alamosa • they’re good people • & the couches are DIVINE

For this first collection of only faery & pixy home decor pieces I had to go back to an old favorite. Not gonna quote the whole thing here, just the bits you’ll recognize. Go read the whole thing — I never had, until now.

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

— WB Yeats, The Stolen Child

(I feel like Yeats was trying to position being stolen away by the faeries as a bad thing, but tbh I’m not seeing it.)
