This is very interesting. I suspect he tried to sell his formula to some big company but was not successful. (Imagine computers or tv sets that looked like fairy houses on the outside, lol.) Sure would be useful to us crafters, if its not too toxic. If it looks good, maybe we could order ingreadients regionally and split the cost (EG if any one else in NH VT or MA wanted them I could be in such a group.) I guess I don't object to paying for the formula through his dvd's. When you invent something and spend a lot of time, naturally you want to get paid. Right now I have too many other projects and winter is coming, but maybe in the spring... Kathy

Sew! I love your big fairy garden. How fun it must be to lay it all out. Did you see my post (about 25 posts before yours here with the great pciture ideas for fairy gardens? The post is titled Fairyland. I think you'd love it.

I need directions to your village, for akup_a tea with thee. I love your chair stair, going nowhere, where I'd love to be. I've just started settling my fairie island. I guess that makes me "the mayor". hehe To get to the island you have to go through the tunnel which is made from a cinder block that I painted black and glued stones to the front. In the top hole of the cinder block stands the gate-keeper with his lantern. He used to be a wise man with a ceramic nativity set that got broke. I cut up some landscaping logs in different sizes. Those will become fairie houses, some day. I save my used, loose leaf teas, dry them completely and will glue them onto the cut log pieces. That's as far as I've got. I really enjoyed looking at your village and discovering your talent.

LOL, kathy, no I don't sneak into construction sites but I would love to be let loose in a metal scrap yard and be told to take whatever I wanted, LOL I love the slant of the teeth, perfect for a roof! They all have holes in them that would be perfect for a birdhouse. Maybe I should paint one to look like a construction site birdhouse. My son works for a company that sells equipment parts for heavy machinery. Now and then they have broken "teeth" like the ones he gave me. How in the world they break those off is beyond me but I suppose when you see those huge walls of rock they dig into it happens, lucky for me:-) I have other heavy "things" that look like cogs set in a circle that I'm still looking at and wondering what to do with them, LOL
