Description
Light is horrible today plus it's 12 out! I willprobably replace these pics with more polished ones once she is done. The felted roots cascade down the back of her dress as well....OK so wings or no wings? I can't decide. I had originally thought to do some wings embellished with various faux greenery to match what is on her. But then I thought with her felted root-y skirt maybe not. WHt do you think?

Awesome job! I just wanted to let you know that I featured this in "Realms of Fantasy and Myth: Week 11 - Dryad", you can find it here: [link]

Dryads do not have wings any way- but neither should mermaids and yet there was a wave of winged sea spirits which I never understood...
This is a beautiful piece- wings would ruin the piece's overall look I think.

This is truely gorgeous. No wings, though. Adding wings would make her lean more toward creature of the air instead of a creature of the Earth.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. THAT was my conundrum. She belongs to the earth, not the sky. Thanks!

I've never heard of Dryads with wings. I say no wings.

I think wings would make her look too crowded, plus I don't think wings would be really appropriate for a Dryad. Now, if she were a Naiad or an Oceanid, then fin-like wings would be appropriate.

Fantastic work.
I think you could give her wings, but they shouldn't be very big if you do.

No wings, most definately. I love that you took the time to set her up properly! A lot of people just stick thier work on a table in poor lighting and snap a blurry photo.

She's beautiful! I love her in the snow. Your costuming is fantastic.

Thanks, the costuming is actually my favorite part. That and sculpting the face. The rest is sheer drudgery, LOL.

Yep I get you ... actually the only part I like is to the face!

Gorgeous as usual! I love the roots. She truly seems part of the earth. In my opinion, I'd say no wings, since she's perfect the way she is.

Yeah, flapping your wings while rooted to the spot seems futile, and maybe a wee bit dangerous....

I suppose no wings, but maybe vines?
It's very lovely, by the way.

Hmmmm. vines. To the supply room, Robin!

I think no wings give her a more grounded, earthly look.
She's very lovely. Like all of your dolls. <3
