Bag End Fairy Door

The fairies of Middle Earth should be right at home living behind this tiny version of the door to Bag End.  This door was made from polymer clay using a variety of techniques.

TARDIS Fairy Door: A Home for Fairy Time Lords

This fairy door, perfect for fairy Time Lords, is a mini replica of a TARDIS door.  It's just over 3.5" and made from polymer clay.  I spent far more time on this door than I had anticipated, building up layers, referring to photos, cutting pieces, carefully placing things, and just generally fiddling around with it.

I used liquid polymer clay to cover the tiny signs which were printed onto plain paper.  I simply dabbed the liquid on both sides of the paper, smoothed it out with my fingers, and cooked these briefly on baking parchment paper.  The smooth blue clay on the surface of the door itself was just a little too tidy so I brushed liquid polymer clay onto it to finish, creating striations with the bristles.
