There is a house up the road from me which sheds the most beautiful 'chimney pots  ' and 'turrets' ! I used one for the sho faerie house........

I used an old crate for the base of the roof, cutting it with scissors......No wonder all mine are blunt! Once it was glued on, I finished it with 'paper' thin craft bark and moss.

After I painted the boot with a couple of coats of acrylic paint, I cut the door and windows, I had to use a crisp tube to support it whilst I did this and decided I needed to keep it in! This was secured with the help of a glue gun. I then used a sharp craft knife to CAREFULLY cut the plastic boot........

I was trying to think of something fairly new, when the idea hit me! Why not try and make a sho faerie house? I asked my daughter if she could help me with a donation, and came up with an old boot...........

OoooohI couldn't resist!............

Faerie ring..........

I put a little gravel in the jar first, then added the card with the toadstools on.

I first stuck the toadstools (made from glow in the dark  polymer clay) on to a piece of card, then covered with moss...........

This jar was perfect for my next project!

I chose to make this for my special 'pretend daughter' It has her initial on it and a few sparkles and a  gem. Made from polymer clay and centered with bamboo  running through it..........Pheonix feathers are hard to come by!

I bought  a couple of packets of butterflies for 50p  in a Christmas sale! I thought I would try and make faeries! I have had unsuccessful attempts at modelling them in the past, so went for the easiest option here!
