Painted Mushroom Fairy Garden!

 Painted Mushroom Fairy Garden! 

Fairy Gardens are so cute and fun!  I thought a little
 mushroom house would be the perfect touch for a
 fairy garden--or little gnome village!

 I started with this old, faded mushroom.
It was in the front yard of this house when we bought it.

 This is a real Fly Amanita.
It's the most iconic mushroom ever.  I guess it is hallucinogenic and psychedelic.
It's said that it makes things appear either bigger or larger than they are.
Fun thought since Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass movie is coming out next week!
It's totally the Caterpillars' mushroom!

I used Plaid Apple Barrel paints and painted it white and the cap red.
Let it dry and then painted white spots on the top.

 Then I used Nutmeg brown paint to paint on the front door.

 With some details in Melted chocolate and black.

 Then I used this fabulous Liquid Leaf in Classic Gold
to paint some fun details on the door.
I am fortunate enough to get to be a Plaid Ambassador.
That means that Plaid sends me craft supplies to use in projects.
I am not an affiliate.
I received this from Plaid to use in this project.

 The gold is awesome and gives it a raised surface.

 Let it dry and it's ready to show off!

 I love it.  I think it looks like a Smurf house.

 Adorable!
