Wendy Froud: Unique Fairy Doll/Figurines

I always admired the Fairy Art of Brian Froud, but was unaware of the work of his wife Wendy Froud. If you are a Star Wars fan, you may or not be aware that she created the YODA Muppet for The Empire Strikes Back (operated and voiced in the movie by Frank Oz).

A few years back I came across a DVD from Gnoman Workshop featuring Wendy giving instructions on how to create a handmade fairy figurine. She is an excellent teacher, and I recommend the video for any fairy, fantasy or doll enthusiast.

In some cases, Wendy's dolls appear to be self portraits! What do you think?
