Inspiration
This is inspired by the alchemist in his cottage surrounded by potions and cauldrons of bubbling liquid, the room is lit by multicoloured sparkling light coming through the gemstone windows. sometimes he has a break from the fumes and comes outside to check his golden book of alchemy which is full of spells and potions and complicated equations.
I love making house lockets, each with their own character, where a faerie could be living. There is a magical space inside with a concertina piece of card for a wish or you could put something special in there.
