The Tangled Fairy Mushroom

It started as one mushroom then another mushroom grew next to it and started getting tangled with the first one. Fairies kept flying in and out of the mushroom and with the fairy dust the mushroom made fairy pollen so fairies are helping it grow and keeping it alive. The mushroom is making fairy pollen for the fairies. The idea came from looking at climate change and sustainable ideas for the future. I'd also been looking at mosaic mushroom pictures, a collage an artist has made of a mushroom and futuristic pictures of mushrooms.

I made this at Art Lab in Birtley (Gateshead), a place where you can use your imagination to create what you would like.
