Fairy house tutorial...

You are never too old for faeries.
If you have an old, unused dollhouse in the attic,
it can come back to life with some attention and creativity.
Take your old dollhouse and transform it into a beautiful and whimsical faerie house.


Vandalize your dollhouse.
Yes, vandalize it. Smash out the windows,
tear out the stairs if you want.
Keep the door, but get rid of the plastic.
(Faeries don't like plastic much.)

Paint the dollhouse with natural colors.
If you don't do this, you will have some colors showing through and it might not look right.
One method is to use spray paint,
and paint it with tones of grey and brown.
(Make sure you use a respirator.)

Collect materials for your home.
They must be dry or the glue won't stick to them.
For lap siding, you can use cat tail leaves.
You can also make a stone cottage, or cover it with birch bark.
Norway Pines have wonderful bark for shingles on the roof.
Use old slips, fabric and lace for curtains.
Layer them for a good effect.
To detail the house, you might find some great shapes in potpourri,
or from dried flowers from the garden.


Use hot wood glue and a glue gun to put it all together.
If you can't find hot wood glue sticks,
you can use regular, but it might not last as long.

Tips

If the house is plastic or smooth, things won't stick very well.
You can glue burlap or fabric to the house first,
and it will help the other materials stick to it.
Try to use natural colors.

For a whimsical look, layer lace, gauze or other sheer materials to the windows.
You can also make it look like the wind is blowing by manipulating the curtains.

Warnings

Keep a bowl of cold water, some burn cream,
or anything else to soothe burns near you
in case you burn yourself on the glue gun or glue.
If you haven't used a hot glue gun,
practice for a while. Don't touch the tip.
This will not hold up for long in the elements.
Do not put it outside unless you are willing to let it fall apart.

Victorian fairy lights...


The After Glow of the Fairy Lamp

Can you imagine your home without our modern lighting?
Originally candles of all types were used to light homes.
Even today, when a storm takes out our electricity, most of us still revert to using candles.

Many changes occured through the years to improve the effectiveness of the light illuminated.
Finally in 1840 a new type of small, fat candle was developed.
These candles were encased with paper and set in a saucer of water to burn for any hours.
(It was also speculated that the water helped reduce the danger of fire,
a common tragedy of the Victorian era.)

Samuel Clarke was one of several designers in England working on lighting devices.

His patent, dated December 14, 1885, appears to be the basis of all fairy lamps.

The patent describes a glass cup covered witha dome.

In his patent he states that his improvements allow the light of the candle to be reflected through the dome and allows light to pass through the melted material.

It is not known for sure why Clarke decided to use a fairy as his trademark.

We can only assume that the light reminded him of a a fairy twinkling in the darkness.

His original candle cups have a fairy embossed on the bottom.

Clarke's fairy lamps became so popular that all small candle lamps today are simply referred to as "fairy lights".

Fairy lamps were extremely popular during the 1880s and '90s.

and continued to be popular inot the early 1900s.

Popularity faded in the '20s. Fairy lamps continued to be made as decorative items.

All production ended in the 1940s.

(With the availability of electricity, usage of fairy lamps waned in the 1920s and by the 1940s,
production ceased.)

During the 1950s the Fenton Art Glass company revived the fairy lamp.

Since that time hundreds have been made in many shapes, colors and sizes.

They still make fairy lamps today.

Other glass companies have also made fairy lamps:

Westmoreland, Viking, Indiana, LG Wright, Mosser and LE Smith among them.

Now, one hundred years later,
Clarke's fairy lamps are still as popular as theywere back in the 1880s and '90s!
Glass collectors as well as fairy lamp and lighting specialists seek out examples in everything from satinized cranberry to peachblow glass.
-Debbie Coe

Fairy lamps :
Their original purpose was utilitiarian, so they were frequently sold in boxed sets, a dozen at a time.
The typical pieces included the base, a cup for the candle, and the chimney or shade.
Over the years, their designs became more complex and ornate, though overall, most remained small,
standing four to six inches tall.
Clarke's original lamps feature a fairy embossed into the bottom,
known as "fairy lamps."
They became extremely popular, due to the sudden affordability of mass-produced glass and candles,
and were frequently used to illuminate nurseries, sickrooms, and hallways.
Samuel Clarke even designed a fairy lamp in the shape of a crown in honor of Queen Victoria's Jubilee.

The Queen reportedly purchased 1,500 of these lamps "for her own use".

The World's Fair in Chicago featured an island lit by fairy lamps,
3,000 of which were donated by Samuel Clarke.

Extra info:

Fairy lamps also came on elaborate stands, pottery bases, wall plaques,
chandeliers or epergnes, often with nosegay type flower holders.
Samuel Clarke had them made by other great names of the day,
Royal Worcester, Doulton, Taylor Tunnicliffe, Thomas Webb & Sons and Stevens & Williams.

In the late 1890’s Clarke patented the "Cricklite" style of candle lamp with clearglass domes

(Silk shades were extra) to go with the ever changing Victorian tastes

and to compete with the more modern types of lighting (gas & electricity).

Cricklites were expensive but could be seen and used in dinner settings,

they provided ample lighting to enhance a formal or festive occasion.

Then in 1910 The Clarke Candle Company was sold to The Price Candle Company.

They are beautiful and unique pieces of art and are the essence of all things Victorian.

They are delicate and elegant pieces which are a reminder of our past.

The height on the basket from the top of the stone to the shank is just under half an inch.

Quartz is the most powerful energy amplifying stone. Quartz is an excellent healing stone and it enhances physic abilities.

Queen of the May Ring



Visions of spring, and beautiful flowering trees in my garden inspired
this ring crafted by me of recycled sterling silver and a fair trade grape garnet set in gleaming 14kt gold.
The blossom was forged, filed, textured and shaped to take on the graceful appearance
of an apple blossom and hand sawn and textured leaves vine up the sides of the shank (ring band).
I gave the silver an antique look by oxidizing and brushing off the high points for a matte finish.

My wild rose hallmark is stamped on the outside of the band. Garnets are the birthstone for January.

♡ Ring would best fit a US size 7-8

♡ Grape garnet is a natural, untreated stone, measuring 5 mm.

♡ Blossom is approx. 1" in width

Ancient Avalon Ritual Milk Bath

*~Ancient Avalon Ritual Bath Milk

- Bathe in prior to performing any spells and rituals involving helping connect one to the magick of Avalon and to draw on the wisdom of the Goddess.

Cross the mists of Avalon and be enchanted...~
* The purpose of a ritual bath is to cleanse oneself of negative energies and stresses from the day and prepare your physical, mental and spiritual self for your circle and spellwork.

A ritual bath is a rite in and of itself and is ideally done just before you cast your circle.
Our ritual milk baths are blended with dried milk, natural sea salts from the crystal,
blue waters of Brazil and organic herbs and essential oils to provide an enchanting scent that will fill your senses and help you get in the mindset to create wonderful magick!

Light a few candles, or a dozen (safety first please)
and allow the wonderful and exotic scent of the bath to take you away to a place of pure passion, peace and love.

We include a muslin bag for you to place the milk bath in to take away having to worry about having herbs stuck here and there when you get out or stuck around the sides of your tub.

So just add a bit of the mixture and allow warm water to run over the bag to help disperse the blend.

You can then use the bag to ‘wash’ yourself with, helping you to relax and focus on the ritual at hand.

For this listing you get a little over 3 and 1/2 ounces (by weight)
of our Ancient Avalon Ritual Milk Bath Blend in a zip-lock bag with a re-useable muslin bag, which is enough for about two baths depending on how much you use at a time.

If you would like a larger amount of the bath milk please contact us and we would be happy to put up a special listing for you. We can even package them in a pretty corked glass jar with a charm and decorative ribbon,
for an additional fee. Ingredients:
Dried Milk, Brazilian Sea Salt, Pink Rose Petals, Lavender Buds, Jasmine, Lemon Verbena, Vanilla Powder,
Sweet Woodruff, Heather and Essential Oils of Lavender and Petitgrain.

LOVING SPIRIT GUIDES BRACELET

Turquoise is a wonderful stone for connecting the Spirit realms with the physical,
it can help you learn about your Spirit guides and assist in healing.

Be sure to read the article that I wrote about turquoise below to learn about its metaphysical properties...
I love to give good descriptions of my handmade items!

Here is a beautiful pink stabilized turquoise bracelet
that is made of free form stabilized turquoise beads that have a beautiful and sweet energy to them.

The bracelet is adjustable and has two little carnelian beads on the end of it.
I have infused this bracelet with Reiki energy, so when you get it,
it will radiate a nice loving Reiki energy feel to it.

In a nutshell things that are infused with Reiki, like this bracelet,
are basically charged up with loving, positive, healing energy that will radiate outward from them.
So the person wearing this necklace will absorb that Reiki energy.
Some people even tell me that they can feel the energy from my jewelery...
I know I can, but to some people, it is more subtle.
Either way, the energy is there and will only do good and make you feel good too!

Faerie Star

This copper filigree necklace holds a Faerie Star of Magic,
and was designed for someone who is attracted to the fae and wants to cultivate a deeper,
magical understanding of all their aspects: wild and cultured, kind and cruel,
compassionate and unyielding, capricious and yet constrained by rules.

I designed, hand-formed and hand-hammered each piece of the pendant star’s structure.
Using wire-wrapping and weaving techniques,
I assembled the star using a lovely black 18mm lampwork lentil bead
with a beautiful purple triskele from right here on Etsy
(http://www.etsy.com/shop/StoneDesignsbySheila)
and 5mm faceted amethyst gemstone rondelles.

Sacred spirals are a prominent feature in this peace,
including one on the back of the pendant to keep the lampwork bead from spinning.

Using more of the amethyst rondelles,
I designed, hand-formed and hand-hammered a chain link necklace with a hook-and-eye clasp to complement the pendant.
I gave the pendant and clasp a warm brown patina, and then buffed and waxed both.

The pendant measures 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" (9.22x9.22cm); the necklace measures 17" (43.18cm).

This seven-pointed star (septagram) symbolizes the belief in faeries and magic. I dedicated this star to the element of Magic. The other six elements are the Sun, the Forest, the Wind, the Moon, the Sea and the Spirit/Connection.

Fog Dancer Fairy Dragon Hair Stick

THE STORY BEHIND:
If I would give this fairy-dragon a name, it would be "nebula",
because everything on it reminds me on mystical fog.
It's body is grey, white and partially translucent. It's wings looks like shimmering mist-billows.

THE FACTS:
I made the little dragon out of Polymer Clay, burnt it, painted it and sealed it with varnish.
The wings are made of strong, handcut photo-carton and are firmly sticked into the body.
Also they are covered with varnish.
But of course, it's a good idea to be careful with this piece of art and I think it also doesn't like showers very much ;).
Because of the special varnish, it looks like little dew-drops are running along the dragon's wings.
The complete length of the stick: 6,5inch = 16,5cm.

Pretty floral stripe .... the colours are soft vintagey peach and shades of sagey greens.. very soft...
(they are prewashed and dried so they wont shrink) elasticated waist for an easy comfy fit.. this pair has a gorgeous,
full cuff with hand dyed cotton lace on the hem... crochet lace with a pretty, soft peachy lace tie, join the leg and cuff..
tighten the lace tie above the cuff for more of a balloon effect in the leg, or loosen for a wider ,
straighter leg look.. both ways look great...
this pair is adorned on the back with one of my beautiful Vintage Kitty patches..

I felt inspired by all this magically, enchanted eye candy of the otherworld....
