Creative Passions in the Miniature Garden with Maisie the Artist Fairy

I grew up surrounded by paintbrushes, easels, yarn, and hot glue guns. I spent days covered in paint, glitter, and chalk dust. I believe that more often than not miniature gardening enthusiasts have several creative passions. To be a true fairy gardener you must have a love of gardening, creating playful scenes, and then using those miniature trees and miniature accessories to tell a story that is important to you. However, how you express yourself can differ from project to project.

The story that so many miniature gardeners wish to tell is an expression of their love for gardening as well as their other creative hobbies. I am lucky that I grew up in a home full of crafts and creative expression. I think it played a huge role in who I am as an adult and my passion for DIY projects around my home and yard. I think when you grow up not afraid to make a mess that you will dive head first into every new project with gusto.

My mother is a painter - it is one of the many things that she is amazing at doing. She is my reference book for all things silly, creative, and crafty. My next crafty gift for her will be a container mini garden with Maisie the Artist Fairy from the Merriment line of minis. Included in this garden will be a fairy cottage and an easel. It is perfect because a mini fairy garden that holds this scene of a painting fairy overlooking nature would be the ideal addition to my mom’s painting studio. She would able to express her love for painting along with one of her other loves, which is gardening.

When you are a person who celebrates art in your home - it is a good idea to add a garden that fulfills your creative desires. This artistic fairy has a playful grin on her face - showing how she is thinking about her next project, like so many of us do. She possesses a love of animals - having her cat with her while she paints and a flower pin holding her hair out of her face. Similar to my mom and me – Maisie the Artist Fairy is covered in paint, a badge of honor for any true artist. She is an expression of every person who likes to get his or her hands dirty and create something new. This could be working in your fairy garden, designing fairy houses, or painting a picture. I believe that Maisie is truly an expression of miniature gardeners and their additional passions.
