It's been such a long
day of travel (by foot no less!) This tiny pond looked so
delightful Baylor just couldn't resist taking a well
deserved rest under the shade of the lily pad leaf and
soaking his poor, tired feet. Baylor will need to be moving
on soon though - he's very determined to make it home before
dark. Enchanted forest or not, Willow Hollow does boast it's
fair share of those ornery little trolls. They enjoy nothing
more than chasing little elves (especially those out alone
after dark!) for if caught by a troll it's whispered (for
saying it out loud is far too frightening to even imagine!)
that the unfortunate little elf will himself turn into a
troll and will forever be lost to his family and friends.

Baylor's Description
Ahh, resting at last! Baylor, a tiny
elf who makes his home in the enchanted forest of Willow Hollow,
takes a short break from his travels. Sitting on his tiny, well used
and weathered looking red, wooden suitcase, Baylor cools his feet in
a small pond created from acrylic water. The base and pond enclosure
are wooden while the flowers and leaves decorating the pond are
cloth/silk with reindeer moss scattered liberally throughout. While
most of the flowers are attached to the piece around the outside of
the pond some are floating along (actually encased in) the “waters”
surface as are Baylor’s feet - what better way to cool little feet
tired from a whole days travels! Of course cooling ones feet in a
refreshing looking pond is even better if you can do so under the
shade of a lily pad leaf - attached directly to the wooden base.
There are a few lingering drops of water atop the leaf - sprinkles
from an afternoon shower which keeps the forest so green and lush.
This little elf has hand sculpted head, hands and feet (including
legs to just above the knees) from polymer clay - no molds are ever
used with the creation of Lil Darlins’! He has very merry blue,
glass eyes, rather large ears (typical of most elves!), a rather
pronounced nose - even fingernails and toenails! He sports plenty of
wrinkles - but then little Baylor has been around for many, many
years! He is dressed in a soft, green micro suede shirt along with
soft, dark brown micro suede pants (that reach just above the knee)
and hat (attached to his tiny, bald head) which bears a single
jingle bell (that’s how you can tell you are in an enchanted forest
versus a regular one - ever thought you heard a faint jingle?). Tied
around his waist is a fiber sash with another single jingle bell.
(While elves are rather fond of the sound of these bells they can be
rather burdensome as they will, at times, attract the attention of
those somewhat troublesome trolls found in Willow Hollow!) This
overall piece measures approximately 12” tall, 13” long and 9” wide
(although Baylor himself is approximately 10” when standing, he is
permanently positioned in a sitting pose atop his suitcase). Baylor
is accompanied by a printed 5 1/2” by 4 1/4” appropriately designed
card telling his own personal tale. This card also comes with a
small, wooden card holder making display easy and convenient.
