The Sexy Fairy and the Frog, Journal Entry From 7/14/22
When I was at Paracon, which I mentioned in an earlier blog entry, there was a woman that went on the haunted tour of the Majestic Ventura Theater with Michael Shaman and I. We bumped into her at lunch and Michael told her that she has a fairy with her. I wanted to draw her and he told me that she had a heart shaped face, brown hair and wore sexy gold lingerie. It took me awhile to draw her because I only saw glimpses of her face, and Morgen wasn’t giving me much information. She said her nose looks like Coraline’s and then gave me a hard time because my drawing looked too cartoony. I know the fairy doesn’t look like a cartoon, so the struggle is my own drawing skills on an iPad which is a newer drawing medium for me. Her wings looked like rose petals, and she had make-up on including painted nails.
A very cute fairy spirit guide
A friend of mine from our Unordinary Made Ordinary group on Facebook, Redd, mentioned some things in the community zoom chat that caught my attention. One time during the chat, I saw him looking around and he said, “What is zooming around my room?” That was funny to me because I also experience things zooming around. They look like a blur, nearly see through distortions of air that move very quickly. And I have come to discover that nearly everything from that fairy dimension, or Middle Kingdom, moves that fast. They all seem to fly even if they don’t have wings, they run on air at the speed of light. So, I recognized immediately that he had something from that dimension in his home. Later, I saw a post from him in our Facebook group asking “What Lurker is coming onto my bed and sleeping next to me?” I’ve had this happen with animals that have passed on and that was my first thought but he didn’t have any animals. I asked Morgen to have a quick look and she said it is a big frog in a yellow kimono very similar to the frog in Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. Many characters in Japanese cartoons seem to be real fae dimension beings that are in old Japanese folktales.
Since then, Redd has had the frog jumping rhythmically on his back while he’s trying to sleep, as if he’s dancing. I told him to wear a kimono and have a dance party for him. I drew and sent Redd a picture of his Lurker. :) Again, the frog drawing is more cartoony than I want.
Redd named his frog friend Hypno
