In this video I am being inspired by my Favourite Childhood Story " The Folk and the Faraway Tree" which is bieng tuened into a film this weekend.

I decided to turn my daughters old toy tree house into the faraway tree, in this altred art, mixed media project, I play with air dry clay, acrylic paint, diy details and glowing mushrooms to turn this old toy into something magical.

If you enjoy mixed media anf thrift flips this one is for you, this project shows how you can turn somthing old and unused into something magical.
