Fairy Houses and Miniature Gardens

In December I cleared an area in the backyard in hopes on installing some sort of fairy garden this spring {see the pictures here}. Then, the other day I came across Mare’s WoodlandFairyVillage Esty page and started to drool over all the past and present fairy houses she made with her own two hands.

One thing led to another and before I knew it I had emailed Mare to ask if she would mind sharing some of her fairy house pictures with all of you. Here are a few of  my favorites, and YES it was really hard to choose.

Artists are cool.

They can look at something and see what others cannot. Artists see something in their mind, and then put it together in a way that is so natural, so organic, and so very different that when we come across something so unique, we can’t help but stop and stare and wonder how they did it.

Who would have thought anyone could turn a few twigs, dried moss, rocks and a few other random things into something a awesome as a fairy house.

Here is what Mare had to say about her fairy houses:

Designing fairy houses has allowed me the pleasure of escaping into a creative fantasy world, a magical woodland realm where forest fairies and creatures exist.

I create woodland fairy houses with a mixture of forest-style elements. They are one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted pieces which include my own personal touch along with decorative handmade and store bought dollhouse miniatures.

Combining the two creates a fairy house which represents my vision of forest fantasy art.

I have been creating my fairy houses for a few years, and I love every moment. My collection is called the Woodland FairyVillage, each house telling a story uniquely its own. It is my hope that each of the stories is read with magical eyes and wonderment.

Rock on Mare! Your fairy houses are awesome.
