Build it and they will come! It's true, I don't make fake faeries, I build these for the real ones who seem to prefer not being visible to the unbeliever's. These fairy buildings are constructed from the new growth of the camphor laurel tree (considered an invasive pest in my area) When they are felled, they frequently coppice, sending up smooth, green barked shoots that turn shiny black when dry. I use what nature provides, mostly from my own property- palm fronds, lichen,moss,fungi and add hand-made spiderweb lace, dried flowers & herbs from my garden. Faeries are discerning; they are unlikely to take up residence in artificial places.
Although these are one of a kind, I can make similar pieces to order.

Not being able to decide on interior wall colours, the solution was to have a different base colour for each wall and blend with clouds, particularly as the house had a very high ceiling that dominated the open plan space. As the client preferred being outside to indoors, a skyscape was the obvious choice!

Have developed my own technique for making spiderwebs, which I apply to almost anything- from umbrellas, clothing, furniture or installations. I have made web screens 20 metres long and a circus style marquee 10 metres in diameter. I have also designed & had made (welding not my forte) iron shelf brackets and tables (sorry no pics yet)

Recent projects for local businesses & shows. I love to create spaces, even with no budget! Creating with whatever's available, any theme. Unfortunately, I have only recently started taking photos of my work- too busy creating to keep records, but have created fantasy spaces for festivals, set designs for shows, backdrops, banners, costumes & much more. I like nothing more than a new challenge- what can I create for you?
