Bohemian gyspy fairy house

Good-morning!

 I wanted to share a little project I created this week..

I started with an old Christmas tree ornament I found in a clearance bin..

It's very large, about 15 inches tall and it's made out of a heavy metal/wire.

Really can't imagine the tree this was intended for, other than the huge department store ones.

It was bent and much of the glitter was falling off, showing the dark gray underneath.

I used a pair of wire cutters and broke off one of the little bars, to create a doorway.

Then it was time to repaint and glitter (my favorite!)

After adding silver tinsel trim,ribbon,  moss, beads, artificial flowers and a bitty chandelier,

I hot glued a broken earring to the front.

I used a couple of doll parts from Lisa Kettell's Shop.

1 frozen charlotte

1 circus tent..

After I cut the Charlotte in half, I hot glued her to the circus tent to create a full skirt.

Scrapbook paper arms and Little Birdie paper flowers (for wings) were added after I painted her dress

in a variety of  dark pink, turquoise and purple acrylics.

when she was done, I added  some highlights with gold fabric paint.

As a finishing touch I sprinkled some iridescent star glitter on her 'floor'.

I sprayed everything with a clear acrylic, so now she's safe to be outside.

 What are your plans for today?
It's 60 degrees and mostly cloudy right now so
I'm going to put up some lights on the back patio and hang up some more stars:)

Hope you have a magical day!!
