Fairy Fairy quite Contrary!

I know, I know, I've got my nursery rhymes mixed up but it has been a confused sort of a week and somehow or other I lost a day around Tuesday I think!  

Ne'er mind a wave of my wand and all will be well.......I wish!!
Thats a wish I can't make happen but here's a wish I can!

Earlier in the week Isa kicked of the new wishing well tutorial at The Craft Barn with a fantastic video showing us how to use melted wax to create the most beautiful artwork and now it's my turn to finish off the week  showing a couple of other ideas for using wax and here's how it turned out.



It started life as a glass plate for a church candle but with a little fairy glitter, (and a bit of help from the stock room at The Craft Barn it became this little gem. If (like me) you need to justify the purchase of a melt pot, do pop over to the Wishing Well for a tutorial showing you how to make the beautiful wax flowers and embellishments.

See you there!

Oh Michelle, you do make me feel guilty, lol! My lovely kids bought me a Melt Pot about 3 years ago for my birthday and it's barely been used. Your project is stunning and I'm off to the Barn to see how those beautiful flowers are made.
