When IMAGINATION Takes Flight

Have you ever dreamed you could fly?

With sparkly pink fairy wings ~ like a butterfly

... And become very tiny...

with a twin sister of course!

Childhood allows imagination to fly

~ and sometimes the child in us never grows up ~

Let Your 

I  M  A  G  I  N  A  T  I  O  N

take flight!

~~~~

~ Violet ~

to SOAR

tiny fairy paper wings with glitter

or grown-up size with tulle

wings have been fluttering into my heart this summer

dancing in the breeze

as I dream of flying into the wondrous sky

or merely daydreaming upon white clouds of delight

capturing my imagination

and filling my heart

with joy

*

{all art, fabric and paper fairy wings made by me}

Has your heart taken flight this summer?

Would you like to see how a

photo of a petunia

became the fairy wings on the little girl above?

All it takes is a little fairy dust (and Photoshop magic)

Studio Mantle and the Garden Fairies

One of my paintings on a little easel

a sheep

a cake

a gilded mirror

reflecting the chandelier

I thought I'd share these images today,

what I want to show you are the two new fairy gardens,

which will be in my next post!

Here are a few fairies that have

come to enjoy the garden

She loves the roses!

 and the bunny king in one of my fairy gardens!

this little guy was found in a garden center

I added the crown

and made the 'pond' from a mirror and moss.

{because he needed a pond to row upon!}

Sunflowers... and a Fairy

A bouquet from a local farmers market

has inspired me this entire week

What Joyful Flowers!

~ Even the fairies must take a closer look ~

Where the Fairies Come for Tea

~ Sitting On Tiny Fairy Chairs in the Garden ~

This past week I've been having so much FUN

making fairy chairs and tables

-

~ and the fairy dust has been flying! ~

Also in the works were miniature banners

She stands by one of my embellished photographs

This Saturday I'm having a booth at a Parisian style flea market,

and will be unpacking all the creations I made

before packing up to move.

The weather report is promising,

and that is a blessing as it's an outdoor show

(today it was rain rain rain)

Throwing some fairy dust your way!

Have a wonderful 4th of July and coming weekend!

Flower Fairies Sightings!

She has glittery sparkling wings and wears an

aqua tutu!

And apparently she is not afraid of

Afghan Hounds

~ who are very gentle with flower fairies of course ~

Have you seen any flower fairies in your garden lately?

-

~ Ours was quite a bit larger than the Hummingbird who visits daily ~

-

We've named the tiny bird "Flutter"

-

The flower fairies name is

"WONDER"
