Hello again readers
Here's one of the altered art projects I promised. It's a blue tit (aren't everyone's in this cold weather lol) box made into a fairy's house. Well I never promised it was going to be useful. Unless of course you happen to know any fairies looking for a new crib and a pair of second hand boots! It was given to me by a very kind and encouraging friend, Tracey of Running with Scissors fame, who said to 'alter it'. I looked at it in horror having never given a moment's thought on how I'd 'alter' a blue tit box if someone happened to give me one. But over Christmas I got to thinking about it, got out some paper and bits and bobs from my stash and this is the result. I wanted it to be subtle. I can hear you thinking - a subtle fairy house, what is this woman on! What I really mean is I wanted something that I could display that wouldn't 'jump' out on you. I don't think I'm making myself very clear so I'll just show you my box lol........ I was quite pleased with it as a first altered art project but I don't think it has commercial possibilities!
