Fairies Galore!

I've had Displaced Fairies running rampant through my house and finally I have them gathered and ready to be adopted by a brave friend of mine! I don't think she intends to keep them all but plans on share them with friends and family. I sure hope not or she may be in for more mischief then she's use to! I sure hope she's ready!


Here's another Fairy box made from a K&Company Alphabet letter box. I first painted just the top with black gesso then used rub-ons and aged it with a bit of glaze mixed with Nickle Azo acrylic paint. Once that dried I stamped with gold leafing paint.


The backside I added paper and painted black just around the edge.


I colored these fairy boxes and the house fairy box all with Color Mists and then stamped with white Gesso and then sealed them with PYMII


I used a wooden shadow box shrine for the fairy bird house below

  10. Hi Aileen -- I love the boxes you have on your blog. Are those regular wooden boxes that you've turned on their sides and added ball feet too? I'd like to try doing something like this.
