Like the Book House: House Book, this is made from a Persuasions Journal. I read the yearly journal from the Jane Austen Society cover to cover as they arrived, and reread them before cutting them up. This is essentially a recycling effort.
The process was almost entirely subtractive. The only place I added anything was on the river in the centre.
The weather has been catastrophic for the faerie house. Many events of rain - torrents of rain - as well as the scavenging critter, weakened the infrastructure. Sadly, my repairs did not have anything firm to hold on to.
I will say here that I do not know why I am so committed to this thing. I will also say that making it was a blast. If this is a second childhood, I am all in. And I have better tools than when I was a child.
I started to plan how I would remake the faerie house with wood when it was clear that it was failing. Ingenuity had to make up for a skill shortage. I needed help cutting the pieces. I did the assembly myself.
This is the result, before installation.
