Winkle Fairy Furniture

Miniature Bookcase, made with paper clay

A Fairy house is not complete without the addition of a bookcase. I am not a big reader myself, I never seem to find the time. Before bed would be nice, but I fall asleep and don't comprehend a thing. I guess, I was born to work with my hands. But I do love Books!

Miniature Apple barrel

Made with wooden beads, the barrel I have had for many years. I thought it would be nice to incorporate it.

Good morning everyone! Busy day for me today. Many WIP (works in progress) that need finished on the table. A couple more bunnies, A new punch needle pattern, and finishing up a rug hooking I started before Christmas. Stop back if you can, to see the finished work or friend me on Facebook at:

Fairy "Tails"

Well it's a cold day in Pittsburgh  the snow is falling. 

But inside Briar Cottage it's starting to look like Spring. Easter will soon be here and I have been working hard on bunnies as we approach the season. This is the second bunny, he was adorable even from the start. I really never know what is going to come out of this head of mine, except for the fact that it will be some form of Bunny.

All about Fairy Tails---he or she is sitting on a wooden paper mached book that has a painting with clouds and castles.

The book he or she is holding and is made from paper mache, then painted with the same castles and clouds.

The bunny is paper mache with fiber whiskers.

Fairy "Tails"

Is for Sale. Lots of Hand painting on this little fellow. He or She is a one of kind piece. Definitely a must have for EaSTER.

I am asking $69.00 for this little sculpture, plus travel fare. PA tax will be added if you live in PA.

In my Easter Bonnet

For all my check and strip customers, here's a little bit.

This little bunny is literally sitting in her Easter Bonnet.

In My Easter Bonnet

The first of the bunnies for this year.

This Winkle is one of a kind. The little bunny is made of paper mache, with a hardened linen collar. The bonnet is hand woven with the use of  raffia covered wire and jute. The stand is a brass candle holder, hand painted without the use of stencils, in the checks and stripes I'm known for. Thought I would bring a little bit of it back, by request of  customers.

$39.00 + travelling fees, US only, sorry! Also PA sales tax, if you live in PA.

In my Easter Bonnet, is for sale., If you have any questions or interest please feel free to email me at: KATE 

Winkle Fairy House Furniture

The Kitchen made with found materials and paper clay.

The Terrace Chair made from twigs, grass paper I made years ago, and had no idea what to do with. Sheep's wool, Valdani thread for the yarn. Straight pins for the knitting needles, and all I could muster one row of knitting, which was a quite a task.

Kitchen entry chair made from linen edge, pine cone, pumpkin curl, sheep wool, grass paper and a candle of paper clay.

These are the newest additions to the Fairy House.. It will again be on view at Kensington Court 3964 Babcock blvd. Pittsburgh, PA 15237, Hours thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun 10 to 5, March 5,6, 7 & 8th. If you wish to view it up close and personal.

Welcome Home

The Winkle Fairy house is home.  

Thank you everyone who braved the cold to visit Kensington Court. I hope you all had fun viewing it, as i have had making it. I think it's time for some furniture. You can't have a fairy house without furniture.

Terrace chair.

My first piece of Fairy furniture how much fun.  I believe if I were a fairy I would love to sit and knit on the terrace over looking the woods or garden.

Made from twigs, a tiny acorn cap, hand made grass paper that I made years ago and had know idea what to do with. Wisteria vine, If you look real close, there is a pair of knitting needles made from straight pins, that have been painted. I also added five or six stitches plus knitted one row, which was a feat in-itself. sheep's wool plus a tiny rose bud.

It needed something else beside it. Yarn in a paper clay basket? The yarn is rolled in tiny balls and is made from Valdani Thread. Adds a little color. 

Wishing all a wonderful day, stay warm.
