ONE OF THOSE LONG PROJECTS
We all have them
Projects that have no end motive other than the
pure delight of creating
And they can take weeks or months
because they are such a labor of love
At least that is my thinking on it.
Several months ago I pulled out one of my little
wooden birdhouses purchased with the intent
of creating........a faerie house, of course.
I painted it pink and let it sit for a while
and then every few days I would pick it up before bedtime
and add a little more..
and a little more...
and then I could not stop...
Until it was so blinged out
that even Mr. J. looked wide eyed at it
and exclaimed..
"You think it's a little much?"
"WHAT?"....."I'm still in Marie Antoinette mode...NOTHING is too much!"
Well, weeks later I am finished (I think)
I believe I have enough rhinestones,
flowers,
and glittered lace
It measures 6 1/2 " tall.

Now that it's finished.........
it may head to the shop....
and I am thinking I will start a Tiffany blue one.
Finished constructions date....likely January or February
One can build a full sized home in that amount of time out here.

I love it! Thanks for sharing.Pink is always nice.
Rella, I just love it. You really are super creative. I know what you mean about taking a while to do a project. I am like that too. In fact, I think the waiting in between helps my ideas grow.
Anyways, this little bird house is adorable, and perfect.
Hugs,
Terri
Oh Rella, it's so pretty and magical!! Love, love the pink and the bling!!!
There are fairies out there fighting for the joy of moving into this house.
Oh, Rella...it is simply beautiful! The things we make for the joy of creating are so often the most wonderful, I think!
