The Fairy Chair

When I first saw this gorgeous image on my collage CD from Lisa Kettell, I knew I had to use it.
The image itself is called 'Take the fair face of woman'
I think she looks like a fairy:)


Supplies:
Collage CD from Lisa's shop
moss
artificial flowers
butterflies
glitter
small chair
hot glue
glue gun



Directions:
Hot glue moss to the chair seat
glue image to chair back
take the flowers apart and arrange them around image and on the moss. Add butterflies.
paint glitter onto flowers.

Now it's all ready for a fairy to rest on!




Tips:
you can find small decorative chairs at craft stores or yard sales.
use tulle or ribbon to make a skirt around the chair.
a small pillow can be used instead of moss.

Have a great Sunday! Marfi!

The Fairy Follies: a how to-ish post

I’m jazzed to share my latest creation as a part of the Lisa Kettell Design Team. I can’t help it, I love to make little theatres and shrines and, again, I can’t say no to glitter.

Supplies Used:
Lisa Kettell Steampunk Moon Small
Lisa Kettell Fairytale Follies Collage CD
Square Shrine Opera House Digital Collage Sheet
Paper mache box
A smidge of acrylic paint
Stickles in a variety of colors
Scissors
Cutting Mat
Glue
Xacto knife
Small bits of adhesive foam
White cardstock

To start with my box was deeper than I wanted it to be and didn’t have a hole in the front. So I made the box shorter and used my xacto knife to cut a square out of the box top. (Do I need to remind people to cut carefully?) I used four different images from the Fairytale Follies CD and sized them down considerably.

The backdrop I printed at around 4 inches and the fairies inside were printed around 2.5 I glued the backdrop to the back of the inside, carefully cut out the fairies and attached them using the foam adhesive. I layered two pieces on the women and just one on the back of the couple so they’d have different depths. I painted the moon with gray acrylic paint, set him aside to dry and then smeared some silver Stickles on him. The “stars” are just dots of Diamond Stickles.

I can’t resist adding sparkles to everything and I love the way Stickles hold their shape and are easy to write with. The blue at the bottom was an off brand that didn’t work out well.

I didn’t completely cover the interior since my theatre facade has a good bit of overhang. To make it, I carefully cut out all the nooks and crannies, trimmed it in Gold Stickles and attached the fabulous fairy head from the Collage CD that I had sized down. Make sure you line up the bottom of the opera facade closely with the box top to avoid any standing issues or cardstock wrinkling.

I applied a little glue and slapped it all together:

I can’t get enough of the Fairytale Follies Collage CD. It will keep you crafting happily for a super long time. What are you working on?

Amy!

Halloween Carnival Boat!

With all this bad weather, Halloween was canceled for the tricker treaters since there was too much snow, ice and now power throughout the state of NJ and neighboring states in CT, PA, NY, MA, so as a tribute to my favorite holiday I wanted to share with you the Halloween Carnival Boat, made from vintage images, scrapbook paper, card stock, recycled items and other fun spook-tacular delights!

Welcome to The Halloween Opera Carnival Follies Boat, this is another boat I have made in my series of Dream Boats, made from a paper mache box and other magical supplies.
This boat is an upgrade of the first, with an actual carnival scene on top, complete with moveable ferris wheel and carousel, which spins around. This piece has lots of hidden elemenst waiting to surprise you, look for the Halloween Opera Carnival at a port near you! Many of the images to make this project are available on my flickr site or my collage cds!

Have a magical day,
Lisa!
