Edward Heys Fairy Houses I was reminded of the urgent need for fairy houses by my four grandchildren. After crafting houses for them, I just kept building. Please, the living room is filling up with these things. “A proper fairy house provides the necessary accommodations to attract fairies, who are notoriously persnickety about their housing. Adjustable lighting, a table and chairs, and appropriate staging provide a cozy spot for fairies to sit with friends and discuss their day.” — me Each house starts as a section of a fallen birch tree trunk. The size, shape and placement of windows, doors, and front porch are determined by natural shapes within the wood. No living trees are cut down for my creations. All components of the house, roof and furniture are handmade by me from locally sourced trees. Okay, fine, a few sticks were picked up on a Lake Erie beach. Houses vary from 12 to 16 inches in height. Each contains indirect, variable LED lighting with both inline and remote control of color and intensity. A USB connection and a wall charger (provided) connect to a standard 110V outlet. Houses are intended for indoor and sheltered outdoor/porch settings.
Lauren Kenneally Needle Felting These wool “paintings” aim to capture the beauty of real life by emulating the colors, form and the emotion evoked by looking at a beloved dog wrapped in her favorite blanket, or a flower shrine to a departed bird. They are created with a natural material that both offers sheep protection from the elements and relief when its heavy weight is lifted—a perfect material to emulate the raw beauty of the world around us. |
