This next piece that I am going to show you is one that started life very differently.
I originally made the roof for this house for a fairy house that I made from sticks & moss. It was mounted onto a tree stump & it did look absolutely amazing proudly displayed on my craft table. However, as it was so fragile, the frame of the house took a bit of an accidental knock one day & I could not fix it, so I decided to reclaim the roof & turn it into something even more beautiful, that was not quite so fragile.
This piece is very much inspired by Tinkerbell & the fairy houses in Pixie hollow.
It is a solid needle felted structure, standing approx. 19cm tall. It took absolutely ages just to felt the dome shape & make it big enough to fit snugly underneath the roof.
I then added the windows & door & other details before needle felting the roof securely on top. What I love most about this piece is the vibrancy of the green roof, in contrast to the white of the house.
