MIXED MEDIA MONDAY - The Faerie Swap


I finally broke down and participated in a swap. Mostly because I needed to get my butt in gear and finish something I had promised a friend months ago and this seemed like the incentive with a bonus. The picture above shows the tag and a gazing ball I made for my friend, Dody. We've been sharing faerie garden posts on Pinterest. 

Because the swap was on Splitcoast, we had to include a paper item of some type so the coordinator, Susan Farrell, decided that we would make a tag to coordinate with our faerie item. For Dody's I used Perfect Plum and a coordinating outdoor acrylic. I had to do 3 additional sets plus 1 for me. I made mine in Pretty In Pink. The other three were done in Elegant Eggplant, Certainly Celery and Daffodil Delight.


Here is a pic of the items I got back in the swap. There is an adorable little faerie house, a table made from a wooden spool complete with a plate of sweets made from very tiny polymer clay canes, a gazing mirror, mushrooms made from polymer clay and a walking stick with a bell. The baggie in the front is the Thank You gift from Susan for participating full of little bits of this and that a faerie may find use for. 

If your not sure what Faeries use, watch the Tinkerbell movies. I love them. Very industries little folk. I can't wait to create my faerie garden and use this precious items as a starting point.

Creative Blessings!

  1. Such fun things. I think a Fairie Garden would be a wonderful addition to a yard, but I'm afraid my 10 outside kitties would have it a wreck in no time.

    1. Try an indoor terrarium, Maggie. Or maybe create a 'gated' community where only the faeries can fly in :-)

    1. Hi Sharon. The one in the pick is done in Perfect Plum and belongs to Quacker girl Dody. Mine is pink. I'd made all the others and realized I hadn't made one for me! LOL
