Fairy Door #4
Wood poplar
Process
1. I cut the edges off the piece for the door frame
2. I sanded the door part down to a thinner size so it is inset in the frame.
3. I carved the grooves in the door and in the top of the frame
4. I used a leftover piece of wood that I found (in the semi-circle shape) for the step
5. I stained the frame dark brown (I really should look to see what colour it really is)
6. I stained the door red (ha. bet you couldn’t guess that!)
7. I stained the step brown, wiped it off, and added a white stain over top
8. I used jewelry wire to form the hinges
9. I used the wire to attach the wooden bead to the door for the door handle
10. I glued it all together
11. I added a coat of poly.
12. I took pictures.
13. I’m now letting it dry.

Nice detail on the hinges! I really like the red door and I’m sure your little friends will as well. Thanks for sharing.

Might be right up your alley!

great proportion, very cute. I don’t know about you MsDebbie but I was amazed at how much time it took to make one of these.

Thanks Ted :)
They’re all my favourites …. funny how you can get attached to these silly little things.
Snowdog: you’re right. For one: it’s much easier to cut a big piece of wood than a little slip of a thing and 2) the detailing, when added, gets pretty precise. (not that I’m precise.. but I’m working on it)
This one took me all afternoon yesterday
