I’m aware roots branching new roots is optimal. Just wondering, given the length and *some* roots on roots, now is a good time or wait? They’ll be planted together in 4” nursery pot tucked in decorative pot. Using Foxfarm Ocean Forest soil 50/50 with (rinsed) pumice.
Also made the sunken river and the little ladder from top to bottom tier. The beaded waterfall also has a tiny “splash pool” at bottom.
AB beads weeping tree, seed beaded waterfall (with seed bead tiny “splash pool at bottom), sunken river with floral foam, rope ladder to lower tier fairy garden and wood box to house it all sawed, glued/nailed and stained by me.
Handmade wood tray, “crystal” tree (twice), waterfall with tiny splash pool, sunken river and rope ladder to reimagined first fairy garden. (Last pic of hanging fairies above fairy gardens)
After this this labor of love of course the nerd in me has to name it and have little pithy character descriptions to tie the bow:
Welcome to Mossingham!
Below Highshroom Castle (batteries included):
Cave dwelling Grump looking down at Grogu who’s asking for a hug. The haphazard wizard, Doofus, accidentally turned this once nobleman into a wingless dragon hence his name. He also inadvertently repels invaders with fiery sneezes. He’s allergic to unicorn fur. Nobody in the kingdom stands in front of him. Except Grogu.
Singe peeks up behind his cave to see what he’s muttering about now.
The Four Knights of Highshroom Castle: Sir Lance-a-Lot the Steadfast. His band of misfits the source of stabbing headaches:
Sir Timberfaeld the Unready. Actually a woodcutter, not a knight, but no one confronts him. He and wizard Doofus discussing the dragon mishap.
Sir Loin the Well Marbled believes negotiation at a hearty meal is wiser and less physically stressful than battle.
Sir Render the Hesitant charges last in battle. Would rather be gardening. He’s chatting with a gnome gardener as we speak about Petunias.
Miss Chiff with her horned steed, Naughty, look up at Sir Loin for tossed scraps (he’s always snacking).
Below lies Earl Grey Hollow where a lonely Sasquatch keeps a “believe” sign next to his high tree house because nobody does. And he doesn’t drink tea.
Every gnome below is named Dinky. Every fairy named Sue.
My first attempt at a “crystal” weeping tree was laughably bad. It’s difficult to merge beads and natural wood. A drill entered the room. The whole, themed fairy garden should be done in a couple three days.
…where you previously search something once, never wanting to see similar again, but that’s what you get next time ad nauseam (like YT’s annoying algorithm). Is that what this means? It was my first take reading it.
..staining it tomorrow after wood glue cures. Never worked with wood and I think it turned out pretty good! I learned about a butt joint in the process 😂
One figure arrived today but no spoilers! Just know it’s going to better than my first. High quality figures bought with lots of creative nuance when done. I’m chomping at the bit!
I had a bunch of fairy nicknacks in bedroom, I finally let them come out to play :)
Already posted the flowers today, almost forgot about the absolute units in our yard
Cut from our front yard, came with the house. Definitely a distinctive scent compared to our other roses. Absolutely love the color!
