More Captured Fairies!


I'm so addicted to these bottle fairies!  Keep coming up with more and more ideas for them.  Thinking they will be this years Christmas gifts for family and friends.    This first one here is "Posie".  Loved this carefree dancer and the smile on her face makes me smile.

This next one is "Belinda-The Green Thumb Fairy.  Used bits of pastel tissue for the background so when the light shines thru you think of a rainbow.

Final one is the Morning Dew Fairy.  I'd collected morning dew to add to my night cream and that evening I found this tiny little fairy in the bottle.  When I asked her name, she said "Le Me Ou".  But then again that's all she keeps saying..... I don't think I'll ever let her out.  I believe she has something to do with water weight gain.  I've lost 5 lbs since her capture.....  LOL  Yes, I'm getting a bit crazy about these fairies.  But I'm having so much fun.

Captured Fairy in A Bottle



How many times have you pulled a shirt out of the closet only to find it missing a button?  It was happening way too much around here so I set a trap and caught the Button Thief Fairy.  Ain't she cute?
No, really I'm in a Bottle Fairy Swap with Lil Scrap Of Heaven and this is the one I made my partner, Leslie Owen, who requested pink and green.  I used Lindy's Hottie Pootie spray on tear away interfacing for a mulberry paper effect on the jar background.  I glued buttons in the bottle and sewed buttons on a ribbon glueing it to the side.  I glued a scissor charm to the vintage photo and added wings I'd printed out on velumn paper.  Lightly tinted her dress and wings with pink chalk ink.  I made the roses by spraying Lindy's on one side of a mauve cardstock.  Of course, blinged it out with trims and beads.  Hope Leslie likes it.  I'm hooked on these fairies...Except to see more of these type things to come.
