ARCATA, CALIFORNIA,  When I arrived in the Redwoods, a friend invited me on the North Coast Native Garden Tour.  On the brochure, the garden most intriguing to me  was Tir n nog, in Bayside.  it said  Faeries lived there. Of course I wanted to go! And we did, but didn't spot any faeries. 2 months later my photo was in the Arcata Eye paper, because of a carving demonstration.
    One woman spotted it.  What a coincedence; she has the garden named Tir n nog, same one I went to on the Native Garden tour.
    I carved her faeries.  Not knowing they would be Fern Faeries until it evolved. 
    The tiniest stump carving ever for me.  About 2 1/2 high, redwood stumps.
