Take a walk in the nearby woods or park, during the day or at night and capture or rescue a fairy. Make your fairy a nice home in a glass jar. Not a large jar, maybe a seasoning jar or bigger babyfood jar, or those tiny acrylic paint cans, maybe even an old cloche and cheese tray from '78. Just make sure that you can see your fairy in the jar. Make sure to decorate the lid so that your fairy does not get mistaken for seasoning salt and get shaken up.

Write a short story introducing your fairy, telling where you found her/him, and what you have put in their home. Please add any other important information about your fairy that the new guardian will need.

Sources for jars: your kitchen cupboard spices loose their potency after a year so it might be time to replace one. Your local thrift store, craft or antique store.

The fairy can be a very small 3 dimensional doll. The fairy can be a two dimensional picture. Pictures can be mounted to a piece of cardboard and then attach to small wooden block so she can be "free standing" in the bottle. These are just ideas, you could make your fairy out of shrink art or anything you like, maybe clay?

Bottom line requirements:

Small container as described above.

Fairy.

Decorate inside and top of jar.

Write a little story.

Senders choice, no theme, except fairies.

Requirements: You must have 250 posts, or be a member of the Farmgirl Sisterhood. Sorry Newbies. If you really want to play, it will take 16 posts a day. If you are close, email me, I'm usually not totally irrational. This is one that would be a shame to have to fairy, I mean angel. Sign ups will end 12/1, get it in the mail by January 14th.

I watched them, but my volume is off, so I can't be held responsible for youtube dirtlip crafters :)

This is my last swap I will be hosting for this year. I needed a longer term project to work on, that is not holiday related.
