Foggy, wispy, airy – to me, these words immediately conjur images and feelings of ethereal. Another world of mystery, slow graceful movement and a forever twilight.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. My name Tanya is Russian, derived from Tatiana which means queen of the faeries. Well into my teen years I was obsessed with faeries. Obsessed. I poured over Brian Froud books (this is my fave) and wondered what it would be like to be whisked away to their ethereal land.
While I no longer try to look out of the corner of my eye to see if I can spot one of the winged creatures (see? obsessed) I do still love the idea of a being that is so light, airy, and out of this world. Something about these creatures and an ethereal existence makes me want to nap and be carried off into dreamland.
