Nothing quite says playtime
like watercolors and paper, right?
like watercolors and paper, right?
Paper mache, that is.
We all did it.That piggy bank from a balloon and egg carton knobs?
Took about two terms if I recall.
My toadstools are taking slightly less than that,but have commandeered the kitchen.
One fights through the fairy forest to get
to the espresso machine,
where all the cool the unicorns hang out.
They are about to be featured in a new kid's magazine, published here.
I used an old copy of David Copperfield -it's pages were so delicate,
and I love the snippets of story
peeking through the paint.
Room enough for an entire family of fairies.See them at the shop,
or come share a frappacino with the unicorns.

You wake up the dreamer in me. Like that very much about your blog!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of paper mache... I'm kind of obsessed with making bowls in all shapes, colours and sizes.
It's an annual Spring/Summer activity for me.... and this post has reminded me it's time to get started.
Beautiful as always here.
Love them. They'd make a cool Girl Guide project.
ReplyDeleteWhen's the next Everleigh markets? Are you there all the time?

ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous ... they so beautifully stir up faeries at the bottom of the garden memories ... you're a gem M'Dear. Congrats on the magazine inclusion, applause, applause. xo.
ReplyDeleteThe day started with your photo, orange wig hatted, at Crescendoh!, a welcome and cheery sight. Then on to David Copperfield peeping through toadstool paint from the red-topped, spotted ones, my favorites. Congratulations on being part of the new magazine. Saw the vintage train case on your etsy. Here's to a week of increase and triumph and magic at the bottom of the garden. xo
