Rachel illustrates : fantasy art and Faerie faith
Believe in the unseen ~~<3
A very personal one today 🍀
Six years, one day at a time.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and believed in me on this path. I find myself surprised and quietly, humbly grateful.
(Also, Happy St. Paddy’s Day all. If you’re celebrating in the expected way, please be careful out there. And remember that Ireland is richer and deeper than you might expect.)

Check out “Tock the Gnome” on Patreon ~*
Sooooo I joined another drawing challenge on Instagram ^^; “Fairy Fae Week,” with two prompt options per day, one “light” (or seelie) one “dark” (or unseelie). I’ve needed something to get myself motivated lately, and I simply couldn’t resist! Keeping them Tock the Gnome themed as usual, and will be posting these as often as possible but probably in bunches, as usually happens). On-time updates will be available on my Instagram.
Day 1, Free/Caged
For Tock the Gnome, freedom comes from the stories that inspire her! So here she is, atop them, with with wings growing from that inspiration.
(And what are faerie wings but a manifestation of freedom, too?)
Day 2, Dream/Nightmare
Something dreamscapey, then, with the crew (and a random Brogh woman, who I feel is descended from certain backstory characters). Inspired by my own dreams last the night previous.
Day 3, Light/Dark
For this one, I chose both, and featured it for World Building Wednesday at “Tock the Gnome!” Click here to check it out.

Sometimes, maybe, we find our wings when we’re falling.

Good morning (or whatever time period you are viewing this 🌞🌜💕), and happy Sunday Gnomedays – here’s something a little dancey and whimsical to bless the start of this week.
Hope she brightens your day!

Happy Sunday Gnomedays, all ⚔
Please enjoy this fierce Sword Gnome, especially if you are having a rough weekend and need some Faerie guardianship to help you through it. You are not alone.

A Gnome cairn today as I am strapped for energy – perhaps, though, the Gnomes put these up far away from their homes to distract ill-meaning Trolls?
Time again. Be nice to yourselves today, everybody 🌞
Also – for those of you who are familiar with my usual projects, and might be wondering where the usual Imbolc celebration is – I’m not sure if I will be doing a Sabbat Sketches series this year. I’ve been really wiped lately and drawing mojo has not been consistent, so I’m not sure if I want to put any more deadline pressure on myself. That said, I do love doing these devotional pieces, so we will see what the next sabbat brings…. Thank you for your patience about it, if you’ve been enjoying this series over the years, and a belated blessed Imbolc to all!
