This beautiful piece is truly one of a kind…it will never be able to be replicated. My inspiration for this piece came from this quirky little log I found. Standing over 3 feet tall, the Fairy Flight School is truly magical. The house is made with small pebbles and green moss. There are 9 windows total in the schoolhouse…one on each side of the second level, 2 on each side of the lower level, and one in the front above the door. Each window was hand cut, then pieces of hand cut stained glass were used as window panes. All of the stained glass for my pieces are from the Kokomo Opalescent Glass Shop, the oldest in the United States. You cannot find this glass anywhere else in the world! Hand cut twigs were used to frame out all windows. Each window is square, except the front window which is a hexagon. The front door is made of eucalyptus leaves and framed in grapevine, adorned with a small winged charm with a heart in the middle, to signify the flight school. The roofs are made from Eucalyptus leaves…each one hand picked, and hand glued…one at a time! There is a long handmade ladder, made from twigs, green moss, and twine, leading from the base, to the entrance level of the school. A large dried mushroom serves as a porch for this darling little house. A bridge made from dried bark, with a railing made from twine and twigs, leads from the front of the school to the ladder, which takes each fairy up to the “take off” pad. Each wooden step of the ladder leading to the flight pad was hand cut, and notches were cut from the branch to assure stability. Each step is covered in green moss. At the tip top of the branch, stands the “take off” pad. A round pad covered in green moss and surround in a fence made of twine and twigs for fairy safety. A hatch made of twigs was created to lead from the ladder, onto the “take off” pad. On top of the pad, sits a small dried walnut half filled with a supply of pixie dust for each fairy. No flight student fairy is allowed on the “take off” pad unless they are accompanied by a senior flight fairy for safety reasons of course! This entire structure sits on a 7 inch diameter, 2 inch thick, piece of log. A dowel rod and wire were used to hold the structure in place to assure sturdiness. The base is covered with a few large rocks to give the piece more texture. This piece does light up, which makes it truly amazing when lit. A light, with a 6 foot cord, and on/off switch IS included. This piece is absolutely unique and stunning. No detail was left unnoticed when creating this piece. No matter where you look, there is something more to see! This is a must have for any fairy lover!! All materials used in my pieces are recycled and eco friendly. No plants or trees were harmed in making any of my products.**Please note that all items are made to order, handmade with natural items. No two houses will be exactly the same. They will be very similiar. Please email me with any questions or custom orders. Thank you!
About Jen5601
Hello, my name is Jen and I am FINALLY making my way onto the world wide web to share all my fun creations with the public! I have been extremely creative my entire life, and I couldn't think of anything I'd rather be doing than creating new things...no matter what they are! While I do all things in life creatively, I am starting my business debut with all the new rage...all things fairy! I stumbled into the fairy world unexpectedly, through my mother who asked for my help in creating her fairy garden. I realized then, that this would be a new venue for me and the possibilities to creatively thrive in the fairy world were endless. After leaving my mother's house that day, I began working on my first fairy house...and from that moment, I was hooked! I am ALWAYS working on some sort of creative project. I am constantly coming up with new ideas and making those ideas art for the world to enjoy. Nothing brings me greater joy and peace than being able to express myself creatively. Everything I create is 100% HANDMADE, and ALL materials I use are recycled and eco-friendly. I pride myself on my creative ideas, and stories behind them, as well as the quality of my products and craftsmanship. I would never sell something I wouldn't purchase myself. I price my pieces very reasonably so ANYONE and EVERYONE can enjoy them. If you are someone who loves all things fairy...and are looking for something unique (or even custom made), this is the shop for you! I will be posting more new pieces soon! Please feel free to email me anytime with questions or for more info! ***Add me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/jen.butler.9822#!/ ***Follow me on pintrest at www.pintrest.com/modig152001 ***Follow me on twitter @jenbutler5601 ***Check out my blog at http://jenbutler5601.tumblr.com/ View all posts by Jen5601
