Fairy trophies

Yep, still making trophies! I can't get enough of these things.  


This one has hand dyed tulle.  The image is from Lisa's Altered Art.  




 This image is from Tammy Tutterow.  The blocks I used are from a set of children's blocks I picked up at the thrift store.





This image is from Tammy and the wings are from Lisa. 
I am entering this into the Mixed Media Monthly Year of Choices Challenge.  I have lots of pink, flowers, and ribbon on these guys for this challenge.

Fairy boats

I have a love for fairies, the tinier the better.  I love to be able to plant them in tiny gardens of flowers and mushrooms.  They just make me happy.
The largest of these measures 3 1/2 inches from the bottom of her boat to the tip of her flower wand.  Once again Lisa's Altered Art provided me with my starting point.
Everyone got some glitter and bits of bling.  

Each fairy was fussy cut out of cardstock and then I cut the same image out of regular paper.  I trimmed out just the wings and attached them to the fairy.  

You can see both sets of wings here.  

Then each one got a tart tin boat filled with moss and flowers. 

They each have a different staff depending upon what type of fairy they are.

Soiled Dove Wall Hanging


I had so much fun putting together this little wall hanging.  I just love Lisa's Altered Art.  Her images and sentiments are just perfect.  I use them all the time.
The back piece was cut from so chipboard that had been used previously, but needed a face lift.  The piece that my lovely lady is mounted on is actually an old beer coaster.  I love using coasters on my crafts.   They are a great size and thickness.
I am not sure if you can tell from the picture, but that is a real feather on her headband.  
You can see the edge of the coaster has been inked up using Black Soot Distress Ink.  The tulle ribbon is from Maya Road.  
A vial label and remnant rubs added another bit of wit to the hanging. You can also tell from the shadow her foot makes that I used foam tape to raise her off the coaster.  The background paper is from Pink Paislee.  I used Distress Paint in Picket Fence and Weathered wood around the edges to age it.  I also spritzed it with my Distress Spritzer using my Black Soot Marker.  
I am entering this lovely lady into the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Upcycle Challenge.
