August 2024 - Fairies and Fairy Gardens

Our theme for August is Fairies and Fairy Gardens. A Fairy Garden is a fanciful, ornamental garden with miniature things supposed to house fairies. Go to your local gardening or craft store and you will find plenty of little things to go in your fairy garden. Many miniaturists also have fairy gardens or have otherwise used fairies in miniature.

Our Challenge for the month is to send in your favorite miniature with a Fairy in it.

To participate, please send in a picture of your wee folk (no more than two pics, please) and a brief description to Kathy Price at price1240@att.net and we will post it HERE.

Don’t forget to include your mailing address. We have a gift for you .... but it might not ship until the end of the month. Please try to be patient with us. We are volunteers!


This month's sample challenge comes from Julie Stuckmeyer:

I made "Magical Miniatures" because I always envisioned that was how miniatures were created. After all, how could such amazing things be made by mere mortals? Magical Miniatures is a Miniature/Dollhouse store that is currently closed. However, four fairies are hard at work (or hardly working) to get things ready for the next day.

The two on the ground floor are hard at work.
