The techniques and products I use are always the same. You may see different stages of the process throughout each video, but the process is basically the same. Message me if you have any questions.
Supplies used:
Wood piece for the base
Titebond Ultimate III wood glue
Water
Sponge brush
Twiggs
Tissue paper N1477
Liqutex Clear Gesso
Tim Holtz Alcohol inks
Beacon Power Tac glue
Art Alchemy Metallique Wax: Rich Copper
Metallic acrylic paint: peal white
Acrylic paint: green
Liqutex gloss varnish
Flowers featured in this video:
Dog Wood
Feverfew
I start with finding bark from trees, twigs and branches and such in nature. The flowers and mushrooms are from my own fairy garden. Each fairy portal is designed to be different and unique using what I find in nature.
Each flower, mushroom, fern or whatever nature I am preserving I seal with Liquitex varnish and use a Titebond glue mixture on stems if needed. Next I coat each flower with clear Gesso then I paint with either: All purpose inks, Alcohol inks or Acrylic paints. I use the Alcohol Blending Solution with the Alcohol inks. Then I seal each piece of nature with Liquitex varnish. All my magical preserved flowers, ferns and mushrooms are created from my own magical real life fairy garden.
My favorite glue is Beacon -Power Tac for an instant connection. I use a mixture of TiteBond glue and water on all my bark.
Liquid Scupley and molds that I have bought or designed are used to create door hinges, key holes, windows and other embellishments. Each Piece is painted with black Gesso and Art Alchemy Metallique waxes are use on top. I use metallic paints as well.
I am known to make a wee fairy friend a fairy special fairy portal to add to their community fairy garden on occasion . But I always make from my heart and I give from my heart.

I am a maker, and I never know how what I will make next. Each piece turns out differently. I would love to hear what you think and feel about each magical portal I make.
