To Find A Wonder gets a new lease on life

Ten years after it’s first publication, To Find A Wonder has been re-edited and will be released in September. Just in time for local fantasy fans to read it before its stage production with Ann Arbor Civic Theatre in November. Which leads me to:

AUDITIONS!!

You could play your favorite fire-burping dragon, Percival, Lady, the talking horse, a faerie, or even Goon, the minstrel in the upcoming musical production of To Find A Wonder. Auditions will be held in late August. Check out the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre website for more information or keep watching my blog, or my Facebook author page. (@AuthorJenniferCarson).

Chelsea Sound and Sights Festival–July 26-27, 2019

I will be selling and demonstrating at this year’s Chelsea Sounds and Sights Art Market. Stop by and say hi to all the faeries!

Last Day to purchase Enchanted Forest Toys at the pre-purchase price and receive a free sewing pattern!

We all have that one toy we loved as a child. Mine was a doll called a Munchichi. I took her everywhere. I loved her nose off…and then I lost her when my family moved to a new house. I get requests all the time to repair a beloved stuff animal or doll so that the child of the child who loved that doll to death, can love it again. What is it that makes such a powerful bond between a child and a beloved toy? How much more powerful would it be if you made with your own hands that beloved toy?

This book contains patterns and directions to create a world of imagination.  Each toy is made with an easy to create posable skeleton. All the patterns are full sized—no need to enlarge. Projects in this book include: a dragon, a gryphon, a faerie or elf, a knight and his tower, a gnome, and a fawn with tips and tricks included throughout, as well as lots of illustrations and photographs to help you through the process.  A recommended suppliers list and a list of video tutorials and other resources is also included.
