I have finally been able to pull together the look I wanted for my Kaye Wiggs elf Girl Elora.
My friend Jane helped me by suggesting clothes I already had which we then pulled together along with just the right wig.
The black wig lines up with her being a night elf, who protects people from night demons and night terrors, helping them rest easy in their beds all night.
She sees things that mortals cannot.
Her skirt is tatty from wandering the dark nights through the woods and gardens.
But she also likes to rest and sleep sometime out in the open , up high where she is safe.
The old wall of the folly even in the wind is safe for an elf, who can only been seen if she wants to be.
She loves feeling the breeze while she rests.
A poem
The Night Elf
When elves do in your garden dwell
they find things you cannot tell
have rested amid your plants for years
the sound of which could bring tears
and make you scared if you could see
the things that dwell beneath your tree
the shrubs the leaves the garden shed
some of them are even dead!
If you could see
you’d run a mile
and hide beneath
the compost pile
worried that should you move
a nasty demon could intrude
and grind your bones and smash your knees
and bury you beneath the trees
but should they raise
their bones up high
staring at the midnight sky
the elf in your garden will
send them home with a chill
They’ll keep you safe within your bed
and even in your garden shed
but your’ll not see them do this thing
but you could hear a small bell ring
Which means the dangers passed
The elf has won against the dark
and elves and fairies then will play
all night long til break of day
When you unknown of all that’s done
enjoy the day that’s just begun.
Dee
