Rachel's Fairy Houses

Wow! This wild and woodsy fairy house in a sculpted log was just an
amazing adventure to make. The very first attempt on a variation of my
other fairy log houses that I've made. I think it turned out very nice!
I hope you do to!
The fairy included with this house is a
collectible from the "Faerie Glen' collection. Cast from high quality
porcelain resin, she is exquisitely beautiful in the attention to
detail . The name of this faerie is "Dewdance".

This house was
sculpted first from professional grade paper mache over a wire mesh
frame that I created, both inside and out. This process alone took two
days to complete! I then painted the form with 6 custom made shades of
browns to make the "log" look like real wood. Then I pieced sections of
gathered, and clean bark around in various places. I am sitting just
two feet away from it and I have a hard time telling the real wood and
painted surfaces apart. It looks THAT real!

All the furnishings
inside I made by hand, including a delicate harp. There are so many
fairy delights inside this house you will be amazed! Fairy treasures
are tucked into nooks and crannies, and on the little built in shelves.
It is so much fun to look around in! And, Yes, that is a REAL antique
skeleton key that she has found!

One of the most lovely things
about this house is the beautiful little fairy that is perched just
outside the doorway lacing up her ballet slipper. She has just finished
practicing her harp, reading her favorite book, having a Blueberry
snack and is getting ready to go venture out into the woods to see what
wonderful things she can go and find today. What a life! smile (Note: I
did not make this fairy. She just fluttered over and took a seat, and
decided to move in. smile )

This house comes with working battery
operated lights. batteries are included with purchase. It weighs 7 lbs
and sits on a slate stone base with felt feet. Dimensions for the base
are 12" X 9". The log is 12" tall X 7" wide X 6" deep.
