Butterflies, Fairy Things & Angel's Wings

What's It Wednesday #132

I just couldn't wait to share my new tablescape with you. I call them gazing balls, because I just love staring at the little scenes inside. They were such fun to make.

It all started with this bag-o-junk. Stuff I think is cool or I promise I'm going to use. Hmm, as you can see there's a lot of broken promises there.

I selected these pieces as I wanted to use the three fish bowls. They were bought to make a Christmas snowman, but that was three Christmases ago! So I got the idea of a gazing ball in my head.

I cut up this old wire ornament because it had the perfect star for a wand.

And this angel had the perfect set of wings that were easy to detach.

Voilà! A fairy glen under glass.

With a pretty lid and golden stand, it was just what I'd envisioned.

Next was an angel's nest.

A pair of wings, a golden halo, and a scroll of music.

Last, a tranquil butterfly garden with two butterflies cut from sheet music.

So my inspirational bag-o-junk yielded three fun gazing balls, and a new tablescape. Now isn't that more interesting than a snowman?

Hugs,

Patti
