Fairy Houses (for believers and non-believers!)

Postby Mika » 12 Oct 2008, 15:09

Hello! :D

Please check my new gallery at : http://www.fferylltales.wordpress.com

I only posted 3 articles so far, but that's because I just created the blog a few days ago. I will add tons of new pictures during the next week, so if you keep checking, you'll see more and more and all new stuff almost in a daily basis.
:hug: to all !

Oh Mika, these are wonderful, though I now have some grumbling faeries asking why they can't have such a place to stay! :wink:

Breathtaking! They must attract many folk for you!

I built a simple version of a fairy house a few years ago, in my previous home, and felt it was well received. Not on the level of yours at all! Yours remind me that I should make one for the residents of my current land. I wish mine would resemble yours! they are wonderful!

Update - I made a home for the faeries and placed it outdoors.

Not as lovely as yours! I used a bird house as the base, and placed it in a basket with symbols of the elements. It's under a tree now.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, Mika!!! Your work is breathtaking-- my daughter and I like to build faery houses, but nothing so grand or detailed! You are truly gifted!

Thank you for sharing... honestly, your pix have made my day!

hugs,

WOW! It's all so pretty! :cloud9: I now have an additional homepage!

You are quite the talented one, and it's all so small :o
Keep up the amazing work; there are many Faeries out there I'm sure will be coming to visit... maybe you need a hotel of some kind!

Hi Mika,
I don't have words for it....amazing, so beautiful. I love it ! You're really very talented.
Vas a construir un hotel de verdad? I'm sure it will be fully booked years in advance. :)

hello Spiritbear,

Thank you :hug:
I've been sort of not doing much for a while but I've got plans for september and will be back to building faerie houses. I'd like to publish a book with nice pictures and a very few text, maybe for children (I know adults would go crazy on that one too, hehe).

Blessings under the trees,
Mika.

Mika.


That's a great idea :) . I would love it. If I look at your pictures, they're so inspiring to tell stories. I think a picturebook with very few text would be great for showing to kids and telling stories with it.

Bright Blessings :hug:
