Today we got the basic structure of the house itself built (still have to wrap bark around the outside and create a roof. It will be two stories, with either a ladder or spiral staircase). I also learned how to use a band saw to make lots of books for the bookcase. They will be sanded and painted, but the blocks are cut. Three more weeks till the contest. 🤞🏼 I now understand what you meant about scale @Janet Merz - the contest requires the house to be at least 12”x12”, and max 36”x36”. That’s huge in fairy terms! 😂

I’m new here and so happy to have found this little corner of creativity. I love seeing how much imagination and care everyone puts into their fairy houses and tiny details. It’s amazing how ordinary things from nature can become something magical. I’m looking forward to learning from everyone, getting inspired by your creations, and hopefully starting some fairy projects of my own. 😊

Hi! How do I keep delinquent squirrels and other wildlife from destroying my fairy house in my yard? Thank you.

Another one of my creations .Playing around with a bit of video and a very cute little Quail who came to visit .
