So these pretties are ready to be tucked in a tiny place, to remind you too of spring and fluttery things.

Longing for spring and a paper fairy collage.

I do this thing where I buy nice old frames and then let them collect dust in my stash. To be fair, it's not just frames... it's books and boxes and so many other things. I've been trying to show restraint and make my way through that dusty stash. I mean, what fun is all that glorious junk in a pile unloved and unused?

So here's a wee thing I made on the fly. A wee fairy collage in a a very nice vintage octagonal frame.

I'm pretty sure she's bringing spring with her. I HOPE she's bringing spring with her. As much as I love the snow, I'm longing for green and warm sunbeams and open windows. 

If you're interested in this wee lass, she's waiting right HERE.

Have a beautiful day, gorgeous!

Pretty Paper Fairy Shadowboxes

I've been working away on a few design team projects that I have to remain mum about... but I have managed to squeeze in a few things even though we've had a mad March break with the kid this week.

I'm really pleased with these six shadowboxes. They're just singing springtime... and I think a lot of us are ready for that.

I'm going to be a bit cheeky here and just post one pic of each with a link to their listing for additional photos. Or, follow me on instagram where you can the WIP pics, or facebook where I'll be posting additional pics of these pretties.

Rustic Spoon Star a Kitchen Witch Pentagram

If you've followed me for a while you might know that I have a thing for spoons. Its not just because they're good for eating soup! I think they're lovely objects and perfectly crafted for stirring up magic.

And with that in mind, I've made a kitchen witch pentagram. If you're not witchy in the least don't fear - you are very welcome to create this is a simple pretty star.

Best of all the materials for this project are few and simple. Spoons, twine, glue, paint, flowers. That's it! Heck, you probably have that in your house already.

A package of wooden spoons usually comes with three in various sizes. Now, you could just cut them all to the same length... or buy five packages and make a set of three different sized stars. BUY THEM ALLLLLL!!!!!

I've carved the edges of the spoons to give an old, weathered, almost handmade look to them. I think it makes a BIG difference, but please be careful when whittling away.

The flowers and leaves I used were grabbed from the bottom of my stash bin. If you're making a pentagram as opposed to a star, you might want to consider the magical properties of the colours you use. You could go so far as to incorporate dried herbs, flowers and other natural elements with magical intent. A pretty pentagram with protective qualities perhaps?

AND... there's a video tute. Pop over to my YouTube channel to see it HERE or check below.

Please use it. Please share it. Please tag me if you create this project. It's so encouraging to see your work and it's absolutely appreciated when you link back to me.

The List of Bits:

5 wooden spoons
Twine (or other binding material)
Acrylic paint
Hot glue
Instant/Crazy glue

Dried flowers and embellishments

Fortunes Told Collage Sheet

I've made a collage sheet of fortune telling goodies for all the fairy sized diviners, seers and mystics out there.

There's a whole whack of stuff on it! Mr. Pixie grumbled that I spent way too much time on it... but it was totally worth it.

Besides all the cards of a traditional tarot deck, there are 4 little magazines/guide books to make. 

There's one for Palmisrty, Phrenology, Tea Reading and Cartomancy (aka card reading).

I've also included two tiny sets of runes on the sheet. They have bone and wood textured backgrounds as those are traditional rune making materials.

Anywho, it's a nice full sheet of mini fun and I'm super pleased with how it turned out. If you have a tiny fortune teller who could use some accessories the sheet is available in the etsy shop HERE.

The Stuff of Little Fairy Tales

I put together this cute little trio of wee things.

A handmade book (recycled from the pages of discarded a book), a wee wand charm and a tiny vial of pixie dust.

I woke up one morning to find a wee trio like this on my bedside. It must have been one of the newer house fairies... soooo forgetful!

I thought it would be a nice surprise for others too! If you have someone who needs a sweet treat from the little folk you can buy this little trio HERE.

On that note... some of the items in my shop will no longer be available to some areas of Canada. Shipping to British Columbia costs twice as much as sending the same package to Australia, and almost 3 times as much as sending to the USA. It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm pretty sure there are some bad pooka running that place.
