I do believe in Fairies. I do,I do.

That's my favorite line in the Peter Pan story. It makes me happy just saying it! These little Fairy homes were inspired by the line in the book...

because

we all need to believe, right? 

First I drilled a hole in every other scallop of the Fancy pedestal top.Then I took how ever many pieces of 18 gauge blackened steel wire I needed and created a loop on every end. I then fed each wire through the holes collecting them at the top. I next took a piece of 24 gauge wire and wrapped it around the top.I trimmed the excess wire and created little curly Q's on the top. I then glued the top to the base using wood glue.

I then spray painted the entire cage 

and then added multiple layers of glitter to the cage part...

and distressed the base...

and added a little fairy with flowers,crochet trim,seed beads, mushrooms and moss to the inside of the cage...

and finished the base with some rub ons and black Dresden Trim.

He makes my heart Happy

This is an essay my boy wrote to a question on an application for the High School he wants to go to. I was so moved after reading this. He makes my heart happy.
