Fairy SHOES!...(A Teeny~Tiny Tutorial)

Happy Weekend, Everyone!


 


 


Here's a fun tutorial for you...


 


 


I thought my Fairy Houses needed a little more "Fae" element about them,


 


 


so what better than teeny-tiny shoes left by the front door?





♥




Easy-peasy, too ~ honest!

All you need are some little smidgeons of clay, a needle-tool, and a paintbrush



(or something similar) with a narrow, round-tipped handle.



 Mica powder (I like Pearl Ex) is fun, too, if you have it.

BTW, at this point I used a drop of liquid polymer clay



to stick the shoes together...you don't have to, of course,



but it makes them easier to keep up with and to position them "just so".



Don't tell the Fairies this, though.



It would be like when you buy Walmart shoes that are fastened together



 with one of those plastic thingies, and then you can't put them



on until you get home and cut it off.



(Unless the cashier has scissors.)



This won't come off, though, so it could be a real deal-breaker for the Fae.

Bake at 275° for 30 minutes.



That's all there is to it!



(Disclaimer: You may become hooked and have to make all color combinations...;^) ~)

One more thing!



Here's another little "FloraLuna" brooch that I just finished



(this one has Lapis Lazuli beads)



and am adding to Kathryn's (The Dedicated House) Anything Blue Friday ~ ♥



More Fairy Houses tomorrow!



Love,
