Felt Fairies, or, Another Project Finished

[anne_d]

There are fairies at the bottom of my garden...



In the patio under the honeysuckle, on a concrete pillar where Shadow sits and watches the birds at the feeder, actually.

A group portrait; in order from left to right, a leaf fairy, a flower fairy and a butterfly fairy:



And the butterfly fairy in my hand, for scale:



Artgirlz felt fairy kits with a little extra embellishment - leaf trim, a ladybug bead, vintage forget-me-nots, floral stamens, pewter butterfly wing charms, and antennae made from a floral stamen with the stem colored black with Sharpie marker.

These were fun and easy. I was going to give a couple of them away, but I think I'll keep this set and buy some more kits.

Thank you!

I know what you mean, and I've been culling hither and yon, not to mention trying to finish stuff from the current collection. On the other hand, this is pretty much all I've got in the way of my outside interests right now. I'm considering the crafts stuff as therapy and a social life of sorts. Better than nothing, right?

I so need to get a life...

Those are lovely! :-) I'll have to tell my friend stateless82 to come look -- she makes cool fairy creatures too (although not from felt).

Hugs and happy Sunday!
