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.
Oh Wow, that house is incredible! I so want a fairy house, now Im in two minds, should I make a fairy or witchy house from my new ebay find!Fairy houses are so adorable and summery! help!! Kate xx
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! Nikki x
Tabitha Corsica, aka the Ice Queen...my alter ego. The sublime miniaturist...not the one who cooks, cleans, does laundry and runs the taxi service. I have a husband and a teenage son and 2 lively Havanese dogs (need I say more?). All of which has a strange way of taking over much of my time. But making, collecting and just plain looking at miniatures is what I do best and what I crave to do the most....outside of reading a really good book.

That house is terrific. I would love to have one. Guess I'll start to make a small one.

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