This artist, Sue Ann Thwaite, aka Lady Bug, is a casual acquaintance of mine. I have seen her at many shows and dined with her last January at a Florida show. She is incredibly talented...able to make these tiny 1/4" scale fairies and accessories. She uses natural sticks and nuts casings and seeds and anything else she comes across.....pinecones and mosses and whatnot.These are two custon fairy houses she did. I think they are amazing and great inspiration. Her website has many more wonderful things to admire.....and buy if you are of a mind. Or use for your own inspiration!

This is a tiny fairy in a lipstick tube (I have one...it's adorable!) I have no idea how she makes these things so tiny, but I think these are made with fine wire dipped in glue and then painted. Fascinating!

That house is terrific. I would love to have one. Guess I'll start to make a small one.
Hi Susan. Really lovely and she has such a mixture. I love the tea pot scenes too!
I wish the pictures would come up bigger so i could see them better.
Thank you for showing and putting the link.
I just got your email but for some reason aol is showing as german. I can read your email but i can't work out how to reply (only know a little german and not reply or compose).
Anyway, the little extras were a gift and not put in by mistake. I'll email when it goes back to english.
Really weird why its doing this.
Just Read Kates comment. I reckon she should make a fairy house!

Very beautiful, thank you for sharing! My hands are just too shaky to make something as small as the lipstick tube fairy!
