~ Nature Artist using Ozark pigments in Kingston, Arkansas ~
Welcome to this virtual space, wherein Madison Woods blogs about life in the backwoods, smashing rocks, making paint, and making earthy fine art at Wild Ozark. For real estate in this beautiful region, find me at WildOzarkLand.com.
These adorable little fairy swing mushrooms are some of my past Fairy Swing Mushrooms. I’m getting ready to start making them again for a class at Skool.com 🙂
Each of the Fairy Swing Mushrooms are handmade and one of a kind (OOAK).
Rather than painting the caps, I something natural to add the color.
The mushroom caps are polymer clay infused and dusted with powdered sassafras leaf (filet’ gumbo herb) and cinnamon.
Classes Begin Soon!
Join my community at Skool to make some of your own! The discussion and Zoom meetings are free to participate. Classes each have their own tuition.
Making Fairy Swing Mushrooms should begin in late February. Right now the class underway is how to make handmade paints from rocks – you might want to do that one too 🙂
Previous Fairy Swing Mushrooms
Powdered sassafras leaf on the cap of this mushroom.
The stem is made from an elephant garlic stem.
The cap on this one is colored with powdered cinnamon.
The fairy swing mushrooms are mounted on a small slab of shagbark hickory. It’s decorated with moss, lichens, dried rabbit tobacco flowers. Two of them have a vine tendril. The swings themselves are made from beebalm flower stems and a bit of leaf or grass for the seat.
The caps are made from polymer clay mixed with and coated with cinnamon and gumbo file’ (sassafras leaf).
Here’s more, colored with cumin and trimmed with sassafras leaf powder.
Testimonials
From @cmwhitson: I got mine today, and the photo doesn’t do it justice. This is the cutest little mushroom swing EVER and I truly love it! It’s so delicate and wonderful, and thanks for using biodegradable peanuts to pack it. What an incredible artist you are!! ?
