Some of the pictures from our fairy family photo shoot were simply ideal to use in cute ways, like Thia, here in this bottle.
And the bottle was ideal too! It’s a plastic bottle that unscrews from the bottom and came filled with candy. Why oh why didn’t I buy a case of them instead of just one? I’ve not seen another one since. I got the candy at Tuesday Morning a couple years ago, it was a brand I hadn’t seen before. I can’t remember what flavor it was filled with, but who cares, all candy is good and this bottle was meant to be a unique and wonderful craft supply!
Any container that has a good sized opening on the bottom is much easier to catch a fairy in than trying to use tweezers to slide them into a narrow top. This is an upside down sauce jar, not a fancy shape, but she went into it nicely. I should probably add flowers to the top to disguise it more.
The photo of me with Molly is printed a little larger than the girls, so I could layer them in prospective. I’m glued directly to the glass, a smaller Dewdrop a bit behind me, and slightly smaller Sugarwings a bit higher and to the side behind her.
Their photos didn’t show feet, so I used moss to hide that. In all the dioramas, I added pussy willow branches as trees, because I think fairies would really love to hang out under fuzzy, soft trees like that if given a choice.
This pic would’ve worked well in a box too, but is just so lovely, I wanted it framed as is.
And I thought the two of these were cute as a bug next to each other.
Our family has been known to don wings on more than one occasion. Here are pictures of the Guncles that I thought should be added to the grouping. I have one of my sissies that needs to go up here too.
This picture is from the grand masquerade we attended. I cut out the girls and glued them to a little blue mirror and glued it to the rosy tin lid. I don’t know where the bottom of the tin went, but held onto the lid, knowing I’d find a use for it someday.
Blue mirrors are significant in the fairy world! You can spot them in your garden by holding up a blue mirror and peering into it, looking over your shoulder to see them flitting about.
These sisters are glued to an amber glass, beveled “moon” and then onto a painting that Dewdrop made.
She swirled lots of glitter paint onto a paper plate, then smooshed it onto a canvas. Gorgeous, isn’t it? I think it looks like woodland flowers.
Twinkle lights are strewn throughout the display. I’ll get a photo of it lit up when I add more fairies to the mantle. The lights twirl between the frames, then up into my set of wings hung over the mirror. I didn’t realize while doing it that the lights formed a heart shape!
