Great article...I love your interesting and creative scenes!
But be warned...this can become addictive
I am now re-arranging some of my gardens to make room for elf and fairy garden scenes.
I buy large round plastic pot saucers or tree rings to make scenes (the bigger the better), and drill some holes in the bottom. I also find tree stumps or slices and use those. Anything goes; you are only limited by your imagination!
