Faerie Time

This project has been on my to do list for a long long time... and I was bound and determined to get this one done this season... Faeries are an all time favorite of mine year round... but I always think of them in the spring time...  coming out to help with the plantings and getting things ready for the up and coming spring planting of the farm..   we do plant Biodynamically and also Organically...  so it is a full expansion of all kinds of knowledge... including the faeries...  

So this is my Faerie Box and Book... and it covers a few Challenges too... 

This week on Sunday Stamper, Hels asked that we use Diamonds... so I used a lot of them in my Faerie book... and also on the box lid...  

For Simon Says Stamp and Show... use bottles... so I have used some Idea-ology vials...  and used them for some special kinds of Faerie dusts...  one for Flying... one for Dreams... and one for sprinkle... (you know... just to sprinkle kind of Faerie dust...  )  

Anyway... so here is the rest of  the project... I have only put up a few pictures... as each one takes over 14 minutes today.. sorry... the internet is very slow on dial up.... 
On the top of the box, I used a small old frame and put a picture from a Graphic 45 tag... the one with the faerie and the frog... an all time favorite...  

And of course one of things that we are going to add more of this year to the farm... grow houses...  I put lace all around the frame... just to give it a nice touch for the faeries...  

 
We had a lot of trouble last year with these large crows that came in and took over the watermelon patches... and so this year we are asking the faeries to help.. and to take the crows out to eat somewhere else...   so you can see the crows all around the box... these stamps are a new toy for me... I bought Dyan Reaveley stamps... and love them... try them... they are thru RANGER... where else... love these crows... some with words... some plain... but all FUN CROWS.. as I do love crows... even though they ate all our watermelon... 
 
When you open the box you will see the birds on the inside too... blue birds and also a little faerie riding a crow too...  And the book is in the box... along with the bottles...  

You will see a close up of both... so just hold on... LOL..  
Here are the bottles... nestled in with a flower... faeries love flowers of all kinds... that is for sure... 
On the side another large crow with a faerie riding on it's back...  and a purple "DIAMOND" butterfly... 

This is inside the box...  
The cover of the book... and yes a faerie is large in the back... this book was a childs board book... and it was a book about angels... so the large girl has wings... (she was an angel)  is that cool or what...   anyway... the dragonfly is done with Shrink plastic from Ranger... love that stuff too... I just got a melt pot and am going to start to play with that... I am a little scared to use it... I get burns really easy and am going to have to drape my body with a heavy cloth... LOL... I don't need that again... that is for sure... also have to wait for a nice day... as I want the doors open to the studio to vent out the plastics too... right???  If you have any tips, for me... please do leave them for me in the comments... I really appreciate it...
Any way... Here is one of the pages... they all have DIAMONDS on them, Hels... each page is loaded... as you can see...  Faeries love pretty things... and natural things too...  Diamonds are natural... right???  They come out of the ground... (sure do wish they grew in our soils... LOL... )  

So there you have the Faerie box and book... I will try and get more pages and the whole thing up on my Art Between the pages Blog...  getting the pictures up is the time consuming part of it... 

Thanks for taking a look see... hope to see you back tomorrow... 
Love, Light and Peace.... Bonnie
