Other Water Elementals

Snow queens and mermaids are broadly considered water elementals in modern fantasy and folklore, though they represent different states and cultural origins of the water element.

Here is how each breaks down:

Mermaids (Liquid Water):
They are the ultimate symbols of liquid water, deeply tied to the vastness, mystery, and emotional depth of the oceans.

Their primary domain being: oceans, seas, and rivers.

Core traits: fluidity, emotional depth, storms, and tides.

Traditional elemental theory (popularized by the alchemist Paracelsus) classifies water spirits as Undines. Mermaids fit perfectly into this category as sentient, magical creatures born of and bound to the sea.

Snow Queens (Frozen Water / Ice) :
They represent frozen water, embodying the sub-element of ice, winter, and absolute cold.

Their primary domain being: glaciers, tundras, and winter skies.

Core traits: preservation, emotional detachment, and biting cold.

While classical elementals focused purely on liquid water, modern fantasy separates ice into its own sub-category. A Snow Queen acts as a specialized water elemental . . . or a dual-elemental combining water (ice) and air (blizzards and wind).

The Last Elemental

My idea of water. Unpredictable as the sea itself, water elementals shift without warning from tranquillity to tempest.

The element water is also associated with the moon, and I considered using "moon" somewhere in her name, but in the end Infinity Dazzlepool was my choice of name for her.

Another Elemental

This doll is going to represent fire, hopefully I've done the wig justice.

Made of living flame, she can burn you with just the slightest touch. Considered to be the most fundamental of all elements, and as such, fire has mixed symbolism . . . she represents energy that can be helpful when controlled, but volatile if left unchecked.

I have called her  Tinder Twinkleflame.

Moving Along

Using a grey resin doll and another yarn wig made to look airy and cloud like, I've created my version of an air elemental called Velocity Cloudtwill. 

She can assume a variety of forms, often appearing as a funnelling cloud of whirling air with a vague resemblance of a face.

She can also turn herself into a screaming cyclone, creating a whirlwind of dust, leaves, small twigs, stones, and bits of trash.

Change of Pace

Working on wigs using yarn and adding facial features, the intention is to make this doll into an earth elemental.

Her name is Aspen Briarbelle and she lives deep in the forest, blending in with the trees and undergrowth.

I've also been playing around with using mica over acrylic paint to add a shimmer to her shoes.
