I then worked on the shelves, a pot of faerie dust, toadstools and of course a cake! The books were made from polymer clay which I wrapped around tiny doll house books, as I wanted them to stay partially open.

I wanted to work on something a little larger again, but not wanting to do another faerie house, opted for a magical faerie cabinet! I used a favourite cupboard from a Victorian doll's house I once owned......Happily I kept all the furniture and dolls :)

First I painted the piece using acrylic paint, which I later sanded down to give it a 'worn' look. I started on the drawers first, filling them with little spangly treasures!

Faerie garden in a wine glass

This project was inspired by seeing toadstools under glass domes. I had some minature wine glasses(half size) and decided to use these for the gardens......

Wallnut shell gardens

I first baked the wallnuts for about ten minutes in a moderate oven. This makes it easier to prize the shells open with less chance of them cracking. I did have a couple of accidents! Then I put some green felting wool inside, and some glitter in the shells I wanted to hang.I then added polymer(tiny!) toadstools and flowers. I had some minute butterfly stickers, which I also added......

New ! Pendulums and Oracle tiles......

I was interested in Pendulum reading before my children were born, having in fact, used a pendulum to predict the sex of both my daughters :). I decided to make a 'chart' to use and thought it would be fun to make a sturdier version. I used decoupage and glass paints on some tiles, and the pendulums are from polymer clay.

Spells

I wanted to try something new, so after doing some research into herbs and their powerful effects decided to introduce spells:) Surprisingly these were met with some resistance at the local festival........

Gipsy Wagon

More Wares...............

Faerie Wares.........

Well the wagon is coming along........Today I continued to add the pieces to the shelves on the side of the wagon. These are little oddments of material, magic wands , pots and pans, and small trinkets a faerie might want to buy! Oh and CAKE!
