A Quartz Fairytale

Welcome to A Quartz Fairytale!

Imagine a story, a realm written in fantasy. Realized with a simple step to the unknown. Like the back of a closet that opens unexpectedly. Ushering you through to the wonderland behind..

A horned merchant welcomes your enterance, you've stumbled right into the thick of it you see. And they have been waiting for a creature just like you. Wandering but somehow found exactly in the right place, at the right time.Taking you to thier table of trinkets you thumb thier work wide eyed as you take stock of the colors and shapes swirling around you. Wondering what exactly you've stepped into.

You and the fawn are not alone you see. Creatures, royally dressed, pass you along the worn floors. Maidens and fae frolick further ahead and you're just getting settled enough to refocus on what's right in front of you.An image catches your eye and calms you. A sweet imagining from the fawns pen. Passing a few coins you pocket it, thank them, and continue. Eager to see what comes next...Queerness is a fairytale, art is a portal. One any person or creature can step into. A quartz fairy tale come true? Keep reading to find out...
