Here are a few pics of the fairy house I finished yesterday. It's ready now for the great outdoors!

Hello, magical people! I just want to let you know that, inspired by Mary and this group, I finally got around to launching an Instagram page devoted to fairy houses. Please follow if you are so inclined! @thefairiesgodmother. Thanks!

I have created and maintain a fairy community in a park near where I live. I'll attach a few photos. One issue I have been having is GLUE! I like to make these fairy houses as impervious to the weather as possible, as they are outside year round. Hot glue--no good. It dissolves in a heavy rain. I switched to an industrial construction glue--Loctite Powergrab Ultimate. It seemed to be working better...but I'm finding that it, too, doesn't really hold up to weather. Suggestions?

This is the sharing post for our 2nd Fairyland Challenge: Make a Tiny Fairy Chair. Once you’ve made your chair, you’re invited to share a photo in the comments below. It doesn’t have to be perfect, polished, or fancy - the magic is in trying, using what you find, and seeing how everyone creates something different from simple natural materials. If you’d like, you can also tell us a little about your chair: - Where did you find your materials? - What did you use - wood chips, bark, twigs, toothpicks, acorns, pinecones, or something else? - How did you put it together? - Was anything easier, trickier, or more surprising than you expected? - Where did your tiny chair end up - in a fairy garden, flower pot, forest corner, fairy house scene, or somewhere else? I can’t wait to see where all these tiny fairy chairs appear.

This is a piece I started last year after becoming obsessed with dried vines curly tendrils. It's a combination of twigs, glue and paper wrapped wire to create structure (paper wrapped wire has been amazing for blending in). I am debating how much I want to fill in the form, with more curly twigs, brown wire to create structure in a repeated pattern, or dried flowers/lichen... is it nice being so airy or does it need more substance for the shape to read? It also does not have a home destination yet, so could live inside. Maybe with a potted plant and have something petite like Ceropegia growing on it? Welcoming any thoughts!
