She doesn’t say exactly what mixture she used but Hypertufa could be used for this project and be lighter in weight. And, like cement, once it has cured it is safe…

I am thinking I need to start looking for rocks to make my own fairy house. What an easy fun way to add more whimsy to your garden.

Fairie Ferris Wheel For The Garden
Just in time for the fairiefest is this ferris wheel made from a collection of vintage spice cans. The ferris wheel itself is a wire electrical spool found at a little store when I was traveling. Some of the best things I have found have been sitting in a corner of a store or in the yard where no one looks. I drilled holes through each can and wired them to the wheel. The base is a round metal tin. I simply turned it upside down and it became a sturdy base to attach the spindles to.
