I got this fantastic clay ship from the thrift shop. I’m going to make fairy skeleton pirates to go in it.
I accidentally removed my pictures of my other fairy skeletons. I’ll put them back at some point.
I painted the ship brown, and I’m adding the pirate fairy skeletons, and a shark. I have a treasure chest to add too. I want to make a jolly roger flag, and paint something on the sail. I really like it.
The ‘cottage’ fairy skeletons. I’m putting the pictures back I accidentally erased.
The ‘fairy skeleton fisherman’, on ‘The Ethel Mermaid’. Ha. I made a sou’wester hat for him, and I put a fish in the net. It was an earring I’ve had for years. I’ll varnish it and put it out in the fairy garden. I’d like to make water, but I’ll have to think about how to do it.
The fairy pirate ship, almost finished. I forgot I wanted a long red banner, so I’ll have to add that. I cleaned up the treasure chest I already had, and I’m adding a shark.
The ribbon banner. It has wire sewn into it to keep its shape.
I like the flag. It’s from a skeleton print fabric I had, which I over-painted.
The captain, with a bottle of rum, and a cannonball. Oven baked clay hats, wire fabric and glitter wings, heart rhinestones, jump ring earrings.
A close-up of the fisherman fairy skeleton.
I smeared clear silicone seal onto a mirror, then sculpted it with a palette knife, and added a bit of glitter.
I need to do another one now for the pirate ship.
The fisherman fairy skeleton, outside. I need some sand to put around it. I’m also thinking about doing something for the background.
Another view.
The fairy skeleton pirate ship outside, with the fairy skeleton fisherman.
Closer view of the pirate ship. I made the water from a mirror, which I cut into a wavy shape, then painted with blue, purple and teal glass paint. I added glitter and let it dry, then I added a thick layer of exterior clear silicone calking and sculpted it into waves with a palette knife and added more glitter. I painted some white paint onto the tops of the waves at the front of the ship. I really like the way it turned out.
I painted a plastic skeleton with glow-in-the-dark paint. I made paper wings and painted them with the same paint. I sewed and glued the wings to the body. I want to make a crown, and then hang him up outside. I’m making another one that I might keep inside. I’ll have to spray them with varnish to protect them. I’m not sure how well the paper wings will stand up to the weather. I might have to add wire to keep them in the right shape. We’ll see how it goes. I really like it.
I found this great hand-painted horse at the thrift shop. I love the way it looks. I’m going to add a fairy skeleton rider. I might do a painting of this, I like it so much.
and the other side. I love the paint.
And the horse with a skeleton on it. I need to make wings and glue him on. I haven’t decided what he’s going to look like yet. I’d a bit behind on my fairy skeletons. I have a doctor skeleton, and one on a tricycle to finish.
My unfinished fairy skeleton on a tricycle. I got the tricycle from a local store. It’s a christmas tree ornament. It’s the perfect size.
The unfinished doctor fairy skeleton. He needs wings. I got the outfit from the thrift shop. It was a christmas decoration.
I made a base with some air-dried clay for ‘the ethel mermaid’ fairy fisherman. Blue and white paint on the waves.
And the other side. The base is a scrap piece of wood from the garage. I still have to varnish it.
The front of the boat.
