The techniques and products I use are always the same. You may see different stages of the process throughout each video, but the process is basically the same. Message me if you have any questions.

I start with finding bark from trees, twigs and branches and such in nature. Or often I will see something and think, "that would make a great fairy house." The flowers and mushrooms are from my own fairy garden. Each fairy portal is designed to be different and unique using what I find in nature.

Each flower, mushroom, fern, or whatever nature I am preserving, I seal with Liquitex varnish and or a Titebond glue mixture on stems if needed. Next, I coat each flower with clear gesso, then I paint with either all-purpose inks, alcohol inks, acrylic inks or acrylic paints. I combine alcohol inks and alcohol blending solution for an interesting effect. Liquitex varnish is used to seal each piece of nature. All my magical preserved flowers, ferns, and mushrooms are created from my own magical real-life fairy garden.

My favorite glue is Beacon –Power Tac for an instant connection. I use a mixture of TiteBond glue and water on all my bark for outside use.

Liquid Scupley and molds that I have bought or designed are used to create door hinges, key holes, windows and other embellishments. Each Piece is painted with black Gesso and Art Alchemy Metallique waxes are used on top. I use metallic paints as well.

Occasionally, I will create a special fairy portal for a wee fairy friend to add to their community fairy garden. I always make from my heart and give from my heart.
