Flower Shop Faeries

Meet Michelle!
A few weeks ago I was presented with a challenge-make some tiny waterproof faeries for terrariums and flower arrangements.  The key here is waterproof.  As a fibre artist, and cloth doll maker, how do I do waterproof?  The fabrics I love, and the Tibetan lamb hair aren't going to be useful here.  The solution of course was to substitute out the non-waterproof materials for the waterproof ones I already use.  The result is polymer clay faeries with Angelina Film  wings.  They're tiny, they're cute and they're fun.  They accent flower arrangements nicely-and they are currently available for purchase at Chartreuse Flower Works (lots of photos on her Facebook page here).  This flower shop is new in town, and a very unique, special place.  Michelle works magic with flowers like I've never seen before.  If you need flowers for Mother's Day, or any day, flowers that are unique and beautiful, please check out what Michelle has to offer-and consider adding a fairy to your arrangement.  You're fairy will keep smiling even after your flowers start wilting!  Sadly, most of my photos of these faeries didn't turn out, but we can make do with these.
