520    Create the ultimate fairy houses, made with natural 
       materials - just the way real fairies build their homes! 
       Have you ever seen a real fairy house? Not the ceramic 
       ones you purchase, but a real fairy house made from 
       natural elements? Well, now you can build your own 
       miniature magical abode - the perfect addition to your 
       garden. Revealed in Fairy Houses for the first time are 
       the step-by-step instructions for constructing exquisite 
       fairy houses, explained by master fairy house architect 
       Sally Smith. From her home on the edge of the Adirondacks,
       Smith has been creating one-of-a-kind fairy residencies 
       for years. She uses natural artifacts such as butterfly 
       wings for stained-glass windows, twigs for window frames, 
       and birch bark for walls. Smith reveals her building 
       secrets in Fairy Houses. Readers begin their fairy house 
       project by flipping through an inspiration gallery, 
       deciding what kind of house they wish to create and 
       considering where in nature they'll put it. From there, 
       readers learn about building materials (found and natural),
       on-site fairy house construction, how to light a fairy 
       house, and how to incorporate stonework into the design. 
       All of Smith's secret tips and techniques are then 
       showcased in a series of step-by-step photos, making fairy
       house creation easy. The ones featured in Fairy Houses 
       were designed especially for this book and are meant for 
       longer-lasting installations. With this book, fairy houses
       move beyond "cute" and into beautiful nature-woven works 
       of art. When you're through, you'll find yourself in an 
       enchanted land where a Lord of the Rings-esque mood is 
       magically evoked.|2Amazon.com
