I blame all of this on Racky.



They are teeny weeny. About 1.75" tall and .5" diameter. The houses, toadstools and ladybirds are handmade from paperclay.



Each is numbered and has a unique description.



No. 007.11
Ladybird and mushrooms collected from a mossy stump on the South hill.



No. 001.11
Faerie House and Toadstools, found in the Eastern field beneath a large pine tree.



No. 002.11
Faerie House and Toadstool, discovered beneath the rows of brussel sprouts

Here's a piccy before the labels were put on to give you a better idea of the size.

This is amazing. I've suddenly heard a lot about paper clay, but never on so small a scale. You did an excellent job. *pinned* and *rocked*

So cute! Where did the bottles come from, if you don't mind me asking.

Paper clay is one of my favorites to use, also. You of course create such detail in such a small space! Wonderful  Smiley

OMG - love how your brain works - you see tiny things but never ever would I have thought to put them in tiny little domes - love it!

you got mad skills with paperclay too - I've only done larger things and then needed to sand the mess of them - very cool little houses and mushrooms

I totally agree!

You can blame me for pointing you to something that helped you make these amazing little specimens if you want to. Perhaps you should punish me by sending me (one or more). That would show me!

These are great, and is that your handwriting on the label? I love it!
