Fae of Bundy
The title for this piece is just a play on words. I’ve taken it from the name of a Bay on the East coast of Canada; The Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is a bay between New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Maine in Canada. It has the highest tides in the world, a rich geological and fossil history, and diverse marine life.
The term “Fae” refers to a broad category of mythical beings, often mistakenly called fairies, that inhabit a parallel realm known as the Otherworld or Faerie. The word derives from Old French fae, which in turn comes from the Latin Fāta, meaning fate. Fae are considered ethereal, magical, and amoral, meaning they do not operate on human concepts of good or evil, but follow their own alien rules. They are deeply connected to nature, often tied to specific rivers, forests, mountains, or other natural features.
I’ve mounted this wonderful figure , by Anna Stokes, on a specimen of Green Labradorite which shows nice flashes of many colors. I’ve given her a pewter “Standard” to carry, by The Tudor Mint. In her other hand she holds a handful of red roses she’s just taken from the bouquet or roses in the stand in front of her. Both the stand and bouquet were bought on line.
The steps up to the landing are of White Marble, and the red point is of a red smelted glass, from China. This point is very interesting, with many see through areas, and I’ve done some extensive metal work on it, suggesting “vines” on its faces.
The base is a hand cut, finished and painted slice of White Pine, and the bottom is covered with heavy felt to protect furniture.
