I...I am not stressed..I always had these lines in my brow and bags under my eyes *CRAZY LAUGH*
I wanted to show you one of the projects to fill my booth that I threw together upon cleaning my bins o' plenty.
The Miniature Fairy House
These are simple miniature birdhouses I picked up from the dollar bin at Joannes , its a store like Michaels/ more cloth.
As you can see they are quite small and perfect for decorating.
I had my wonderful assistant "My daughter" Paint each house a solid color and then I glued bits of moss and stick, stones, grape tendrils, a few flowers etc..
Each house is a home to one pinkie sized fairy as you can see them peeking out ;)
Each has its own hair color and variation of house
These are done very simply I created a small simple face, hand and foot in one instance.. out of polymer clay and then did a light waterdown brown paint as crease. The hair are feathers.
A lot of these items were gathered from my yard over the seasons, baked in the oven to remove "poopies" Some of the moss was discounted as well for 97 cents a bag "SCORE"
These are not meant for rain but under a covered porch they would do nicely ;)

ReplyDeleteWonderful! I like the colors of the fairy house and your fairies are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBye, Faby
what a great day to check in on a couple blogs or I would have missed this!! I love these little houses- if you have leftovers will you pop them on etsy and give us a chance to snap one up? They are adorable!!! Hope all is well with you and that you are keeping up with the garden while you are busy crafting away :)
ReplyDeleteOh I just hope one thing sells *lol* but yes these would fill up my empty store wouldn't they ;P
DeleteI love them. There is no doubt about it, you are talented girl!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteMa che bella idea! Mi piacciono le fatine che escono dalla casa degli uccellini, molto simpatiche e divertenti! Un abbraccio, Manu
ReplyDeletecute and beautiful idea!!!:)
ReplyDeleteI really admire the way you turned the birdshouses into unique little works of art. With a fairy in each house; it's fantastic! You have such a lively imagination and you are even able to turn it into reality. I enjoy your posts every time I visit, so thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for saying so hon ;) *blush*
DeleteI love your little birdhouses. Sweet little fairies. Each one so beautiful and original. Fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteHugs Maria
Wow, amazing! How very creative to transform a plain object into something spectacular!
ReplyDeleteOh, and so sorry to not get back to you sooner about the epoxy resin. I would love if you would share your results! I've put my resin and mould putty aside for the time being since I haven't had as much time (+ focusing on a new table) but I will definitely get back to it and would love to know how to make nice bottle stoppers.
When is your fair? Isn't it one of these days? Then you'll have more time to relax and go back to mini creating just for yourself :D
Oh, and where are those bearded snails that look like Confucius? I'd love to see some more pics :)
I will definatly work out the kinks on the resin hon, no time here either. :P
DeleteThe fair is this Saturday *yikes*
I will do a nice photo spread on the day of the sale and show off a few hidden thing too ;P
They are very cute! I bought a birdhouse several years ago, didn't know what to do with it, but this is a great idea =) We'll have to see if I ever get started with it, but right now I already have a thousand projects going ;)
