A big thank you to my Dad for making these for me! He made them out of concrete and I painted them. These are to add to my collection of magic mushrooms that greet and guide you to the studio.
A little history behind why these are special to me:
When I was a kid I used to have an after school carer called "Gloria." For some reason she reminded me of Father Xmas's wife. A rosy face, big belly laugh and always with a bun in her hair. She would take me down to the Botanical Garden after school to play and roam around the gardens. There used to be a massive mushroom there like one of these and I would get extremely excited to visit this.
She told me about the fairies that lived in it. At midnight the fairies would come out of the mushroom (kind of like a gateway to the underworld) and they would sing and hold hands, dancing around the mushroom. When dawn broke they would go back through an invisible door to below and sleep til night time...when they would all come out again.
