Hello Blogger Friends. Thank you for stopping by the Hop, Fairyland that is. This was a great pleasure for me to be invited to participate in this event. I have always had a love for all things" fairy". I started keeping a file of these wee folk as a child. Still have and use it. We are glad you will enjoy spending time with us and the "fey". The base of my diaorama is a metal tile from Hobby Lobby, painted ecru. I then added styrofoam and sheet moss, pinned it in place. To accent the moss I included a scrapbook piece of log slices painted with Copics.
As you can see This is the base without the central piece. The small fairies are perched on a wooden spool cut in half, painted Halo Rose Gold, and trimmed in German tinsel painted the same color.

The large central piece was lots of fun to design. I used a large ribbon spool, increased the thickess of top and bottom with chipboard. I then covered it with Graphic 45 Springtime paper, trimmed the base with Prima flowers and antique millinary flowers. I thought the stem looked a little bare so I pulled out my stash of beads then added some bling. Here and there you may see a dragonfly or butterfly peeking out. The fairy dancing on top is a autumn flower fairy. Again thanks so much to you for dropping by, and a big thanks to our hostess Leslie for hosting.
