Eir the Healer & Crystals

I generally don't look up names of Lego minifigures, but I was curious as to the real name of this one. She is used in the Lego Dungeons and Dragons set of characters. She is a Tiefling Sorcerer. [I have no idea what that is!]

I've had this character nearly all summer but haven't really found a 'use' for her until I picked her up and took her to the forest.




I hiked up and down and through the creek just peering at things. During the winter, the creek always has beautiful green grasses growing along its edge. This is a creek that is fed by multiple small springs. The water temperature is almost always near 45 degrees F. 

I photographed her in the creek. What would she be so intent on?

I still wasn't sure what she was doing until she got to a mossy area.

She had to be a healer, she seemed to be collecting items for medicinal purposes. That had to be it.
I looked up names that meant Healer and found a Scandinavian name that fit the bill.

Here she is, Eir, the Healer.




What a find! Scarlet Elf Cup!


I couldn't spend too long in the forest as the winds picked up with 40mph gusts. I heard too many trees creaking and saw too many swaying.

I headed indoors to see how my crystal experiments turned out.

Tiny branches...



A bizarre tree made out of pipe cleaners. It looks much better painted.





And...it seems like my Druid and Eir seem to like the crystals just fine!



But last but not least, a fun little shot of my table where the crystal forest is taking shape.


I strengthened some of the integrity of the crystals with an adhesive spray and then used some clear glue on other pieces. If handled a lot, the crystals will fall off. In the mean time, I will enjoy their colors.


But golly I am having so much fun!

    1. I came across a DIY Christmas Ornament video of how to add crystals to ornaments and went from there. It is simple but the crystals do fall off, just like glitter makes a mess.
      It is fun to feel like a mad scientist!

    1. I was happy to find those tiny fungi under the oak leaves. There were so many!
      Having fun outside in the fresh air is what it is all about. That and discovery.

  5. It’s pretty special when you can take your own personal healer along with you for a walk in the woods. How fortuitous to find a Scarlet Elf Cup for her. As for the pipe cleaner trees, they are quite splendid. Keep having fun!

    1. Thank you. Everything is a work in progress and so fun to experiment with.
      Those Scarlet Elf Cups were abundant in this one area. If you see one, you could find dozens! They are so brilliant.
