...my fairytale theatre

...hello dear girlie's!

i hope all of your christmas's were divine!

 

can you believe that

in a few short hours,

it will be 2012??

 

WOW!!!

 

i trust you have your fairy slippers and tutu's on

and your wands ready to ring in the new year?!

 

 

2012 is sure to be a year full of inspiration

and creativity

here in blog land!

awhile back i was inspired by

Dore's post about her fairy theatres...

see here ~ Burlap Luxe ~

i had also been fascinated by Anita's fairy theatres on her side bar

see here ~ Castles Crowns and Cottages ~

i sooo wished for one of my very own....

so i set out collecting pretty materials

for creating a little theatre of my own

i envisioned  an ethereal, "once upon a time" theatre...

i made a mirror by spray painting a piece of glass

with "mirror" spray paint by krylon

i then distressed it to look old with a little rubbing alcohol,

and etched the front of it with the words

"once upon a time" and the flourish wreath around it

i LOVE how it turned out!

i made the tiniest strand of my "fairy lights"

and fashioned a fairy out of paper clay,

dressing her in a most beauteous tutu...

the theatre

is actually a secondhand jewelry box

that i transformed with my Annie Sloan paints:)

 i sewed silvery, sparkle tulle

along with more of the fabric i used on my fairies tutu

for my theatre's curtains...

and here in the land of odds,

a crown is simply a must!!

i am so delighted with how it all came together

and now i have a fairy theatre of my very own:)

 

 

wouldn't it be fabulous to attend a fairy theatre convention??!!

 

 

this will be my last post of the year

so i wish all of my dear readers

a happiest new year!!
