The minature faerie carriage

This photo shows the carriage near to completion. I have added a magic wand and a small bouquet of roses. Since this was published I have put in the steps (a white glittery ladder) and a few more bits. The carriage has tiny sequins inside and out, so that when the light shines on it it has a  magical effect :)  The 'driver's' seat is a little bit of toadstool(soft, for long journeys!) on a piece of bark.

Here you can see how I started to put the inside of the carriage together. The piece of moss is sitting on top of a piece of bark, to make the seat. The folded velvet petal holds a tiny 'glass' slipper, and there is a pearl in the carriage too!

You can see how I (carefully!) put the tissue paper on, in large 'patches'. As I soaked it with watered down P.V.A glue, I had to be really careful it didn't rip!

The wire frame was covered with florist's wire in green, as I wanted it to look like vines, (leaves have yet to be added). The picture shows the frame, without the spokes, which I crafted in wire and looked better uncovered...... without the tape.....

Making a tiny carriage seemed a good idea at the time! I thought about doing it with a hollowed out goard, but wanted it to look slightly 'delicate' I achieved this effect by first building a wire frame and using white tissue paper......Almost like a lantern......
