Paper Mache Maddness

I have fallen in love with a new medium....Papier Mache! I still like polymer clay but the finish I get with paper mache is fantastic. I have always enjoyed paper mache folk art pieces and I am really inspired to take my Whimsy Houses in that direction.

This is a pic of my first one. I'm donating it to a Charity auction for a friend of mine that has a husband with cancer.

More of these houses are being made and will be in my next store update, soon.

How Whimsy Houses Started

I am so excited that my Whimsy Houses are selling that I thought I would explain more about them.

These are pics of me and my sister-in-law , Becky. We are standing in front of our fairy booth. Three years ago we decided it would be fun to make some handcrafted items to sell . We both love fairies and whimsical stuff, so we started making fairy charms, copper wire bubble wands, crowns, and of course houses. The houses were a hit (you can kind of see some of them on the shelves behind us) and I absolutely love making them so I started making them to sell on Etsy. Right now I am still working on winter ones , but my next series is going to be really sweet!!! Check back for updates.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

We just had our first snow of the season and it inspired me to create some winter themed

Whimsy Village Houses.
