Dreamy Delight- Gilbert the Pixie’s Tea Party
The Dreamy Delights Pixie Tea Party centerpieces are part of a limited edition collection. Each one is a little different, using vintage, retro and handmade elements.
This is my first foray into making next level assemblage pieces.
This piece measures 11.75 inches tall and 8 inches wide.
These sugary delights are decorated on all side. The base is a vintage Melmac sugar bowl which is weighted for stability. A glitter coated styrofoam layer attaches all of the confectionary elements. The bottle brush tree is decorated with opalescent ornaments, pastel pompoms, bits of vintage necklaces, hand painted spun cotton beads that were rolled in glitter and sealed, topped with a pastel star.
Clusters of retro and vintage treats jut out from the background on wooden dowels covered by happily printed paper straws, trimmed with pony beads and glittery washi tape.
Gilbert the Pixie puts on his favorite custom glittered shoes while he enjoys a little cupcake snack. Gilbert and his snack are sewn and secured onto his macaron cushion.
Although delicate, these centerpieces were crafted to last for seasons and generations to come.
My hope is for you to enjoy these pieces as much as I enjoyed creating them.
