✨ Just one more week — and this fairy house set will finally be available to order! 🧚‍♀️

I’ve been working on this project for almost a year, starting completely from scratch.
I dreamed it up, sketched and tested different versions, spent hours painting and repainting until the colors felt right. Then came the long search for a manufacturer who could carefully bring my design to life and capture every little detail with quality. 🌿

For me, this is a very special milestone — turning an idea from my heart into something real that can now live in your homes and gardens.

I truly hope this set will bring you joy, spark imagination, and remind you of a little magic that stays with us forever ✨

✨ Childhood is when the magic hides in every little corner of your home garden 🌿🧚‍♀️

I finally finished the tiny fairy house, and my niece has already approved the design! She just couldn’t get enough of it — squealing with joy, feeding the fairy cookies, and waiting for the evening when the magical light would glow inside. She kept running back to the garden to check if the fairy was home and sipping tea with her cookies. I think the idea turned out just right! ✨🏡💫

🌿 The set is happening!I’ve been thinking for a long time… should I try?My little fairy house started as a creative experiment, a personal project. But the more I looked at it, the more it “came to life” in my hands, the stronger the thought became — what if I turned it into a complete set?And now I’ve decided.It won’t be alone — I’ll fill it with magical little residents, add tiny atmospheric elements: mushrooms, flowers in clay pots, a wooden fence… And that’s how the Fairy Garden Set will be born — a little world you’ll want to step into.I’d be so happy if you’d like to support me in this small beginning.For me, it’s not just a project — it’s a chance to share a piece of magic with others 💛I’ll be sharing more details about my project soon — the plan is to launch it in about a month. Stay tuned ✨

🎨 The 20th attempt at painting my fairy house

Sometimes we look at someone’s finished work and think:
“Beautiful” or “I would have done it differently.”
We see the result — but rarely imagine how many efforts, mistakes, and retries went into it.

My first house cast from the mold became a real challenge for me.
I started painting it… and every time it came out wrong.
I washed the paint off, started over, changed colors, brushes, lighting. I even took it to my friend so she could try making it look more “realistic.”

In the end, these struggles took no less than 4 months. I went through a ridiculous amount of paint, quit and came back again.
If I count all my attempts, it was probably only on the 20th try that I got something close to what I had in my mind.

Now, when I look at it, I see not only the color of the roof or the texture of the walls, but all the patience that grew during the process.
Because even a small house can be a huge amount of work — and a little story of perseverance.

If I could give just one piece of advice — just do it.
Don’t be afraid to show your results — whether they’re successes or not-so-perfect attempts. Share the process, the failures, the victories.
Only then can you truly get to what you want — and feel the joy of the whole journey, not just the finish.

📸 I’ll soon share photos of my final version. Have you ever gotten to the 20th attempt before it finally worked? 💭

✨ What is a mold — and why do you even need one?
When I first started sculpting my fairy house, I thought the most important thing was to shape the model itself. To design the roof, the door, the little windows and flower pots… But then I realized something important: if you ever want to recreate your fairy house — for yourself, as a gift, or to build a whole magical garden — you’ll need a mold.

🧩 A mold is a form you can pour material into (polyresin, plaster, wax, soap — anything you want!) and get an exact replica of your original each time. It’s like saving your idea in stone… or rather, in soft silicone 🙂

🛠 How is a mold made?

You sculpt your model by hand — I used modeling clay.
You refine every little detail — the mold will capture everything!
You build a box (a mold frame) around it.
You pour in the silicone — a magical moment.
You wait. Sometimes for a full day.
And then, you carefully remove the original — and now you’re holding the shape of your idea.
📸 I’m sharing some photos of my very first real mold.
This step became the beginning of something bigger — I’m working on a full Fairy House kit, and planning to fill it with magical little residents.
Who they’ll be… that’s still a secret. But it all started with this mold 💫

✨ Who lives in this little house?..

Lately, I find myself staring at this tiny cottage and wondering — who could be living there?

It feels like someone definitely calls it home.
Someone who loves flowers, knows how to make things cozy,
and perhaps never leaves the house without their watering can.
Maybe they even have a fluffy little companion by their side — loyal and just a little mischievous.

I want to give this house a resident.
Create a story, a personality, a world…

And very soon, I will.

But for now — let’s imagine together?

💭 Who do you think lives in this house?
What secrets do they keep, what are their morning rituals, their quiet wishes?
I’d love to hear your ideas — magical stories often begin with the tiniest details.

Inspiration is everything to me. It's like air — without it, I just can't create.
I'm deeply inspired by nature. Flowers (especially wild ones), the countryside, forests, little streams, and the smell of freshly cut grass.
I love drawing with my sketchbook on my lap, sitting on the grass in silence.
I love books that smell like paper and childhood.
And I love my mom and grandma. They were always making something with their hands. I think that’s where I got my love for creating something of my own — something real.

I keep these little images close — sometimes in my mind, sometimes in my phone.
Because that’s where my tiny fairy tales are born ✨

What inspires you? 💭
I'd love to read in the comments.

From sketch to mold – Part 2: The first soft model
After finishing the sketch of my fairy house, it was time to bring it into 3D — by sculpting the first soft model by hand.
This step is where the magic really begins ✨

I sculpted mine using air-dry clay, because it’s easy to work with, soft enough for tiny details, and forgiving if you need to make changes (which I absolutely did).

🔧 Materials I used:
Air-dry clay — slow drying, easy to shape and refine
Sculpting tools:
Metal carving tools (for lines and edges)
Wooden modeling sticks
Rubber shapers (for smoothing curves)
Needle and dotting tools (for tiny textures like flowers, bark or stone)
Water + soft brush — to smooth and blend the clay
And my hands — always the best tool for sculpting intuitively
💡 For beginners:
If you’re just starting, this stage can take longer — sometimes 2–3 full days, and that’s totally okay.

Here’s why:

You’re not just sculpting — you’re learning to “see” in 3D for the first time.
You may not know yet how thick walls should be, or how fragile small parts can be.
And you’ll probably redo some details several times (I still do!).
This part isn't about speed or perfection — it’s about exploring the shape, the personality, the feeling of the house. Your first version is allowed to be messy. It’s your sketch in clay.

⏳ How long did it take me?
For me, about 5–6 hours over two days — but I had some sculpting experience and a clear vision from the sketch.

If it takes you longer — that’s not a failure, it’s part of the creative process.
You’re building a skill and a fairy house at the same time 🧚‍♀️

Next time I’ll show how I took this soft model and turned it into a stronger version that’s ready for mold-making!
