Faerie wash stand......



After 'cooking' the heart shaped mirror, to which I added pearls, I added more moss and a few flowers. Then got to work on the drawer.....you can see it is  not completely dry in this shot. I put little crushed shells and more bubbles in it......Added soap and a wash cloth , a few more pearls and it is ready for the faeries :)

Faerie wash stand......

First I glued on the shells that I had chosen for this piece, using wood glue AND a hot glue gun. I 'filled the shell basin up ' with 'soapy bubbles' and fixed on a beautiful glass fish for a tap. Then the moss was added, ready to place the mirror. The tricky bit was getting the 'water' to look as if it was coming from the tap!

Faerie potion chest , showing the drawers which contain seasonal herbs, plants and everything a faerie needs to make their potions! I have included a Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter drawer. On the top of the chest is a pestle and mortar, chopping board (on which a mandrake plant is ready to be prepared!), toadstools of every kind, dragon eggs......Woops! One has broken! ......and not forgetting the essential faerie dust!

Faerie closet



The faerie closet, showing the drawer contents: tiny shoes, faerie flower crown and gems, wings and sparkles!......The closet displays more faerie shoes, wings and faerie clothes.......

I wanted to include faerie wings and shoes in this piece, and found the perfect wings! I used a part of my mother's confirmation  veil band in this too, as she is no longer with us .......It has been used to make the crown and wand on top of the closet.
