Back in the day, my idea was to create a line of little faeries who as a community had decided they should lead their existence without using their magic.  Flint the firestarter was the first in that series. Sure, he could have started a merry warming fire with the snap of his fingers, but using his natural talents would be cheating! So he sits working his bow on a piece of wood he has found to get a fire going. 

Flint had been returned from his original buyer in 2004 and a guest in my studio for nearly 18 years until he was refinished and sold again in 2022.
