Finished! (Almost)

Finally, the Fairy House is finished!

...Now it looks "right" as an indoor piece.

~

~

I added a little mossy, lichen-y green acrylic paint to the edges of some of the shingles...

 

and gave them another coat of satin sealer.

 

Then I made the steps go all the way to the "ground"

 

and added curly hand-rails...

~

~

I made a little over-the-door "light fixture" with two connected acorn caps...

~

~

One of the acorns I collected had a teeny, tiny baby acorn attached to the stem,

 

So I used it for a little doorbell.

~

~

I used another little acorn to make a fanciful flower on one side of the steps...

~

~

...
and added little mushrooms on both sides.

~

~

~

It's not finished, but closer!

 

I finally got through the frustrating pinkness by giving the white areas

 

 an undercoat of gray...

 

Red is a strong and peculiar pigment!

 

Now I just need to finish the fur patterns that will make it uniquely Ellie...

 

and add a little holly...

 

then she will be off across the pond!

 

Have a great evening!
