John Anster Fitzgerald - (1819? – 1906) "Victorian Fairy Painter - he was able to suggest the existence of a coherent alternative world which was ethereal and bizarre." So here is my small interpretation of the weird little creature that is holding on to the beaded rope (or chain) that holds the Robin captive.


The lampwork beads are by two different Artisan Lampwork Artists:

 These beads are made of Triton Glass and that's what gives them that magical (fairly like) appearance.
