It wasn’t always this glamorous out here in the alley.
“Destination Mammal Cabana” was a quirky mural. I adored it & walked by it almost every day. Click on the pic to visit the post I did 4 years ago. It’s now in RIP
Artists: Birdo, Spudbomb and SKE 1
Then, recently one morning, I walked through the alley and saw:
It was hideous.
Graffiti Art had been obliterated by graffiti throw-ups and tags.

Using Fairy Power, I got word of the devastation out to the street artists.
Soon after, on Easter Morning, I saw this:
It was like a dream come true!

So, I put on a clear plastic garment bag and a gorgeous 10 year old Vera Wang wedding gown. I hightailed it back down to the alley,
… whereupon Tensoe painted me,
… while I took in all the new art.
It had been decided by the artists that they would do predominately Graf Writing, as a means to keep the destroyers away.
Blow me up!
⭐ Sherrie, there’s a rat in this slideshow for you! At least I think it’s a rat. Lol, last rat turned out to be a squirrel.

After I was finished, I was named Tenesa, and had my picture taken with all the Graf Writing and pieces.
♫ ♫ I feel pretty, oh so pretty ♫ ♫
Best time I’ve had since New Years!

Not sure how this happened? There was only 1 pic like this.
Oh no, it’s time to go! Sniff!

I would like to take a ⭐ fairy moment ⭐ here to thank Brenda Davis Harsham. Her blog, Friendly Fairytales is absolutely wonderful. It’s as though Brenda got lost in the woods, as a child, then was found and raised by fairies.
Brenda was one of the first two who said they would contribute to Kids’ Month. She wrote 3 poems. Thank you, Brenda!
I’d like to add that Brenda’s fairy knowledge of all lands magic gave me the idea for the title, and a centered concept for this post. In my heart I feel she is the “Redemption Wall Fairy”.
The Gown Artist:
Thank you, Tensoe! You are forever etched into my heart!
Thank you Georgiann! Your “Chicklets” and poems were a Kids’ Month highlight!
Artist: Jarus
OMG! Emmanuel Jarus is absolutely one of my top 5 street artists, and this work is his.
Artist: Jarus
I read on Georgiann’s blog, Rethinking Life, that she liked snuggling up with a nice hot drink, a good book and a cat. I don’t see the book, but the sentiment remains.
Artist: Jarus
This mural, in Liberty Village Toronto, is seen best from about a block away. Please… click on the pic below to see how gorgeous it is!

The Artist:
It is definitely Jarus. I couldn’t find a signature. It could be behind a car.
Butterflies, hummingbirds & wind also pollinate, but bees do the lions’ share. Click on the next 2 images, & see bees working in all their glory.

At first, when I saw this mural on Queen East, I thought “Gorgeous”!
Artist: Nick Sweetman
Immediately thereupon, I wondered why the artist had a clock set at 11:00, & gears in the mural with the bees?
Artist: Nick Sweetman
Then it hit me!
Bees, & all pollinators are dying off due to pesticides & herbicides. It is their 11th hour. After discussing this with Marina Kanavaki, she made up her April’s clock read 11:00 for this post.
Artwork by: Marina Kanavaki
On Art Towards A Happy Day Marina spreads the importance of all life on the planet. If you click on her clock, bees will fly you to its original “Diamond Four” artwork.
Artist: Nick Sweetman
So, let’s view this mural’s details from left to right.
Artist: Nick Sweetman
Hello! Don’t bee afraid of me! I’m pollinating for you!

There was a shadow growing across the smaller right side of the mural.
Artist: Nick Sweetman
I feel it is nature adding her own poetry. (blows up nicely)
Artist: Nick Sweetman
When I looked across the street, I saw that the clock & a bee were reflected in the windows of a library.
Artist: Nick Sweetman
I see time & the bee, melting …. fading away.
Artist: Nick Sweetman
I think that I shall never see, a mural pretty as a bee! (TY, Joyce Kilmer!)

Click on the S6 Logo & the bees will fly you to Marina’s boutique. I’ve bought tights, a clock, travel mugs & make-up bags, all with Marina’s art on them. The quality is very good. Keep an eye out for discounts & free shipping!
More bee reflections.
