As a present for a special 3 year old I made this fairy garden. Using things I found in my garden I compiled a collection to then cover in spray paint, coat in glitter or paint.
I made it so it can go outside-the butterflies on the tree are cut out of photo paper which is the only waterproof thing I could find that my stamp would cut into.
To create interest I tried to make various sections and levels such as pebble stones with drawings on. These houses are just branches with a plastic cone covered in deconstructed pinecones.
I then brushed the tips with a gold enamel paint and the other with pva glue and glitter.
To draw on these pebbles I tried using a white pen but it didnt't work too well. So I used a fine paint brush with watered down white paint.
Strings of butterflies to be dangled around the fairy tree (which I coated in a silver/gold spray paint and touches of glitter)
This butterfly stamp is a Martha Stewart one I brought for £22, there are cheaper ones about but I don't think they look as good.
