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.
~
~
~
~
...
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!

What a beautiful fairy house, I love how you used the teeny-tiny acorn for a door bell.
