Fairy House Pictures

Gleek's Fairy House Gleek’s Fairy House
This is the fairy house I created for Gleek. The fence provided a useful back wall and a sturdy support. The side walls are sticks partly buried and shored up with rocks, then woven with honeysuckle vines. The carpeted interior is made of “lambs ear” leaves which grow as weeds in our yard. I’m told that the lone stick across the opening is a door and the grass on the inside was part of a nest. But it looks as though somone has stolen most of the nest.
Kiki's Fairy House Kiki’s Fairy House
Kiki’s Fairy House is constructed the same as Gleeks, but the addition of a peaked roof was a bit of a challenge. This house used to feature a “For Sale” sign, but it has disappeared. Perhaps the new tenants have already moved in.

I’ve had several requests for pictures of the fairy houses, so I opened up a flickr account to display them.

I’ve no idea how often I’ll be posting pictures. Maybe someday I’ll figure out how to put pictures in LJ rather than just pointing at them.
