........ erm looks interesting .... not
 |
| coated with Powertex and a few features added |
.... here's a clue
 |
| a Fairy Door MDF kit given a coat of Powertex |
........ a Fairy House
Yes I decided that rather than throw my poor frost damaged and useless chiminea (it would never drawn properly when you lit it), I would upcycle it into a Fairy House.
I started with giving it a coat of Powertex, and using an old dishcloth repaired the chipped opening, and then using strips of t-shirt material I made a "vine" to wind around it. I also had an MDF Fairy Door kit in my stash, which was an almost perfect fit for the opening.
I then gave the whole thing and the stand a coat of Crystal Glitter Black Diamond paint, and added some texture and crackle paste to the fairy door and some acrylic paint.
I then made some flowers from FMM air dry clay (oh gosh I am loving that product). and painted the flowers, leaves and some of the shapes I had already stuck on with Powertex, with POSCA pens and acrylic pens. These were then attached with more Powertex, as was the door. Finally I painted the roses on the lid and on the side, and gave it a quick spray of varnish.
Ta da ..... no longer a useless bit of garden furniture, but a feature for one of the flower beds.
