Dear little fairy shoes...

I've been working on a few pair of

my little fairy shoes!

These are made of leather...one pair is cut from a antique ladies glove ~

Each pair is a little different from the other but

I'm so pleased with how they look!

This is how they started off looking after I put the basic pattern pieces together ~

both pair were blank slates ready for me to embellish them!

And here the are!

They will be sold as pairs, each pair with seam binding hangers so they can be displayed

hanging on a knob or hook...

I still have to add the seam binding to the last pair

so they should end up in my Etsy store sometime today ~

I always love the feeling when I make things...

Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

I just love tiny things!

This is a terrible pic...the lighting is bad...the color awful....

and it was taken with my cell phone BUT.....

I just had to share it with you!!!!

My granddaughter is so precious and loves animals SO much ~
just look at her kissing my little bunny statue!!!!

I also had to show you how tiny these little fairy shoes are.

I've sold one pair to a dear friend but just to give you an idea...here's a photo of the other pair:

I also had to show you how incredibly tiny the magnolia petal fairy shoe ended up being!!!!

It's now on its way to its wonderful owner but just to give you an idea of

how these things shrink.....just look:

Making things from organic materials is an incredible thing...I didn't realize the shrinkage factor but thank goodness I had it a few days as it dried and realized that I'd stuffed way too full with moss!!!

I took out about half of what I'd stuffed in and it worked out wonderfully.

What do they say, "live and learn"....well, I say "create and learn!"

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Returning to my cobbler ways ~

Thank you so much for your sweet encouragement about

my little magnolia fairy shoe!!! Believe it or not, as it has dried,

it has become smaller....it did sell and I think Kim will love

it even better in it's petite size!

So, even though it was really neat to make the shoe from magnolia petals,

I've always wanted to try making these precious tiny shoes from thin suede!

I've added a little sandwich for the sole of suede, thin cardboard

and then a woven fabric for the insole.

They are filled with wonderful moss, adorned with fragments of nature

and tied together, sold as a pair to be hung on a knob or nail ~

They only measure a mere 3" long from tip to heel and are only 1" wide!

I just listed them in my Etsy....

A light tan pair ~

And a brown/olive pair ~

Tiny, huh??

I love everything fairy and hope these make you smile today :)

Wishing you a wonderful Monday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
