Real Fairies

This weekend I found out I have to be on call for 24 hours– therefore I'm stuck in my apartment! I got ready, though, I gathered twigs, stones, took a trip to the dollar store and bought some fun nick-nacks (as well as stocking up on such essentials like water, bread, and nutella . And now I'm building a fairy house!

I've been reading a lot about people's fairy creations but I'm wondering, where are the photos? If you have a photo of your fairy door, house, garden, or anything, please post it here! I would love to see them!

Ohh, I love your photos!

I don't have a functioning digital camera — and funds are tight right now for me to afford a new one,    plus I only have a track phone and not one of those cellphones with the cameras in them, otherwise, I would upload them for you all.

Before my digital camera died, I took alot of photos of butterflies and purple astors that fall,   and I still have the film/disc, so once I also get my CD rom fixed on my computer,  I will get those pictures on CD and upload them

Ooh, I also love the “Tregg”! It does seem to hold a special energy in its shape – it's quite a gifted work of art. The miniature Stonehenge and Goddess are also very nice.

Here is my finished fairy house! I am making furniture to go in right now..

I used a basket as a base…

Materials: 1 basket, twigs, hemp, leaves, flowers, glass stones, agate crystals, red reeds, and beads for the bead curtain at the entrance. I think that's about it- oh and some seed pods.

the house is so beautiful, i love it.

i absolutely love Tregg too. its got a nice look to it. and the stonehenge-goddess inspired work looks amazing.

thanks for posting them up and showing us (:

I have a new house going. plus additions to the garden. I'll try to shoot it as I work on it so you can see how I do it. the only two things that I purchused were the cord and hot glue gun/glue. Materals costed about $10 CAD. I add furniture after I do the floor because its too hard to work through the door once it's walled in.  Cord wise I use whatever's on sale thats a natural fibre. I can get everything at the dollar store the glue sticks are the most expensive thing.  I only use hemp for beading work and macrame.

Treesandcoffee, what a lovely house! And what is that hanging from the top, a slice of a translucent stone of some sort? It's on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember what it's called :/ I used to collect them, I wonder what happened to all of the ones I had…But anyway, I'm really liking your tregg too

And Bluefirephoenix, your yard and houses are beautiful as well! The mint field is probably my favorite. Do you use any of the leaves for cooking or tea or anything like that?

Let's see if I can find a picture of my little space…aha, yes! It was taken right after I finished the roof:

Its base is a copper lamp, so there's not much room for furniture…it does, however, have some soft cloth scraps and a tiny treasure chest of shiny stones inside it :] (And one of my top hats and orange wig decided to ninja into the photo too, hahaha xD) I'm always adding things to the house itself and the surrounding desk space, so it's never really finished.

And Kikuyo, the fae do seem to respond well to my leaving a corner of my desk for them, even though it's indoors. There's bells hanging from the back of the house that I hear ringing every once in a while, and sometimes there's something that's been slightly rearranged when I hadn't touched the thing in weeks. Sometimes they go so far and scatter shiny things that I've left for them around my room like some sort of scavenger hunt-type game (newly minted dimes seem to be their favorite things to hide!) And even though there's a little place where I'm growing moss and violets for them outside where I leave the treats (my mom hates food sitting in my room because of the critters), there does seem to be the occasional visitor inside. I say go for it!

And I'm really hoping I can take my fairy house with me to college. I'm really paranoid about it getting ruined or something, although it should be sturdy enough…That's why I keep it inside in the first place. ^-^'

take a close look she shingled it with large pine cone leafs. too bad our cones are so small here would take a year to do that roof. Thats a nice house I like that.

I just found out that the field is part of our property.  I use a pot of mint that I keep next to the house for making tea with.  we will be keeping that field cut though to encourage the mints to grow. Mints go crazy when they're pruned.

I haven't started on the indoor space yet in the main house. The large ex horse shed is now where most of the alter stuff is. However, something's developed here and I think I need to start on the house space as well. So much to be done I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  It appears from the encounters in here that they do respond well to indoor space alters if there are things like plants and stuff. I'm going to focus my indoor plants … rosemary and roses. I already have a large indoor red rose that I've had for 3 years and a rosemary plant. I'll probably have at least 6 plants and several indoor houses and spaces, with one area for food to be left. I hope I can grow some rare herbs as well. I have one  variety I grew from seed over hundred seeds only 3 plants survived.

@Tutti. I like I like.  particularly the first one with the plants.  I should make it a little smaller for indoors shouldn't I then I can have several in here.  I was wondering if tile grout would work for morter for the ones that will be inside. We have tub of it thats been sitting for oh about 10 years.  I was also thinking of going to the area where there's a huge gypsem deposite but I'm not sure how to work with the gypsim to make it into morter, if you add lime to it or what.
