Legallily, The fairy garden is about -3 1/2'x2 1/2' not big at all. I do not leave it out all year. I will soon clean and pack it up. Next year I will spray as I do every year, with a clear acrylic to help protect the pieces. As the color has faded on the fairies I will dry brush with acrylic paints to brighten them up a bit.
As I said earlier a lot of stuff is recycled . The roof is a lamp shade that I wired down aluminum sheeting,cut to shape,painted then a terra saucer was added for the top of the roof. I will be adding a chimney as soon as I find something I like. The fire pit was made from a heavy tea light candle holder and a small sink strainer, The fire pit patio was something my husband picked that I glued and covered in small gravel. The vegetable garden was a small retangle piece of galvanized metal that I filled with peat moss mixed with wood glue for the soil. I then made the veggies out of polymer clay. The potting bench was a doll house dresser bought at the Dollar tree. I used small crafts sticks for the picket like fence behind it. Sorry I posted a gnome garden pic in there to soon. The pixie garden will be next. Thank You!
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
