There's something about little creatures and small woody objects
that intrigue me. If I see a piece of wood with an interesting hole,
then I always see a little fairy inside it.
Don't invite me to a bonfire unless you want me to save
a cool shaped log from the fire. I do that.
I love working with Apoxie Sculpt because it can be placed outside.
I use E6000 glue for outdoor projects and sometimes
high strength glue sticks if I know they will never see outdoors.
Sometimes my fairy creatures seem too delicate to
make them endure the outside elements.
Here's an example of ones I keep inside.
Here's an outdoor Apoxie Sculpt mushroom about 9" high I
nestled into some flowers and how it came about from a
mess on my floor.
I'll be posting more here as I take more pictures of
my fairy garden world from start to finish.
Here's one of my latest Apoxie Sculpt fairy houses.
There is now a fairy residing in the little swing and it's
in the garden doing very well. The base is an actual rock
painted to blend with the rest of the sculpted elements.
Here's how basic it was to start with.
Maybe this will give you an idea starter.
I must admit I also go for the unusual.
Here's one I made for indoors with a dried
artichoke at the top and yes....those are
tarantula molts. Not alive but don't they
look so real....because they were once.
This is a close up of the top half of a
very large 2-story fairy house.
Here's one of my latest creations from grapevines a
and other twigs I gathered and claimed.
She hangs in my Fairy Garden powder room.
The inner frame is 14" x 18" canvas.
The outer rustic frame was a thrift store find
that started the whole idea.
Constructed on a garden rock
so it can sit on the ground and not decay.
Apoxie waterproof clay for the large
fairy creature who really needs a bath.
Resin for the water.
It currently resides in my
personal fairy garden around a tree in my yard.
It sits outside all summer in Michigan
and gets stored inside for the winter.
I coated it with Liquidtex Gloss sealer
for some shine and protection.
The base rock is heavy. It will never blow away.
I love that the little fairies look dirty.
