Fairies

 

I've had fairies on the brain lately, no clue why. My usual fare is more towards dead stuff... in any case....

Finally finished a fairy house. The base for this was one of the dollar mini bird houses from Michaels. I papered it then made a new door. The fairy lamp is a baked marble and acorn cap. The mini snail is in a real shell.

Window in back has mica sheets as the "glass"

Finshed fairy village.

Mini fairies for an as yet unfinished scene

Thimble gardens

This technically isn't a fairy thing, though it does have fairy elements on it, so it counts. :) I made this for my mom. The beads are all done as individual wire wrap, there are charms at the bottom of each. Most of them I made, a couple I used store bought charms. The wood is from our orchard, we had to cut a few trees down recently in the older part of it. I snagged a few nicely shaped branches and some bark for later fairy houses.

Pretty bobbie pins



 
When you have curly hair, you go through bobbie pins like crazy. I like mine pretty and thought I would pass along how I make them so.
Piece of cardstock and some nail polish, once they are dry you are all done. :)
