Fairies, Fairies Everywhere

In my getting ready for the May Fair and Spring Craft Show I realized that I needed to keep up with the stocking up of items. To really turn a hobby into a business you need to keep inventory full and ready for shipping. So in the photos below you will see the stages of getting my Fairies for The Fairy Ring painted and ready. I will not make your head spin with the endless coats and details that go into these dolls but just let you see them!
This is what I see from my side of the table, little faces that are always hungry!! " Mommy can we have a snack" is what they are saying with those big eyes!

Faces, hair, and details added to fairy dolls. I uses old ice cube trays to keep the separated while they dry.

Here is Lavender getting her wings!

Rose got her curly hair and wings now they are waiting for some sparkle!

All the fairies done and waiting for there finish satin coat. I use a water base non-toxic finish.
( yes more mushrooms in the back!)

And Here the are my Wooden Fairy Dolls, so sweet! Don't you just want to come dance in The Fairy Ring with them!

Look What the Mailman brought


Well I was wrong it was not Anne of Green Gable. But what a sweet thing to be wrong about.

Love the rainbow yarn! Nicely packaged like a present.

Little Red Ridding-hood is the first doll in a Doll of the Month Series from The Fairies Nest. Each month a new doll will be sent with a riddle.

The detail is so lovely, there are many layers to the little dress.

I could not help myself I had to, I mean the kids had to, play!

Not so scary when you are bigger then the Big Bad Wolf.

Lovely!

I Just Love This!


Okay, truth be told I love everything that she makes. Wanda has just found such a sweet way to make collage beautiful. Her paper Art is simple and sweet yet very colorful. She also donate to Trees for the Future to plant a tree with every product purchased.


One of my favorite things about Etsy is that you can ask for a custom item. A while back I asked her to make me a set of the Art Clips but for them to be trees! I love them, they hang in my office with my kids art on them. It is an ever changing collection of expressions of love from my kids.


I hung them very low so that kids could reach but I didn't want to put nail holes in the wall so I used the 3M Wall Hanging system and that fixed it perfectly. With the 3M system I can also change what set I use.



Which inspired me to ask for this mushroom set! I love mushrooms! I plain to use them in the decor of my office. Once I move the kids Clip Art set to their room I will use my mushroom set for when I do storyboards or for creating a new line of toys. I like to see my drawings side by side to get a good visual on the project.

April Showers bring May....Craft Fairs

I am putting in late hours these next few weeks leading up to May. Okay, I know last year I said no more Craft Shows/Fairs but I feel I needed a few more under my belt before throwing in the vendor's apron.


So while the family sleeps I paint. Trees, bushes, and mushrooms surround me in their little trays waiting for their final Glaze of NON-TOXIC Satin Finish.

Making the Playboxes take the most time. The detail work must completely dry between layers before I can add the next detail. I try to keep it simple but it never works out and I go back and add the details in.

The Trees and Forest sets are a more simple style and I can make more up at a time. It is so pretty to see them all lined up like a tiny forest. Working at night also means I don't have to fight off the little ones from stealing the trees ( they do have there own but are attracted to freshly painted ones, he he)

In the end the finish product is so worth all the work. Look how sweet this Lavender's Tea Party Playbox is! It makes you want to pull up a log still and join in!
