Types of Fairies
My ceramic fairies are inspired by my childhood and my love for fairy tales and all things whimsical and full of magic. Each fairy has their own personality and are one of a kind.
My hope is that they will inspire you to follow your heart and to believe in your own magic. They are born of my imagination and they come in all different shapes and sizes. The following is a classification of the type of fairies I create and what poem inspired them. I’m dreaming up new fairies all the time so this list will grow. They are available for adoption at my monthly shop update. Sign up to my newsletter for shop update news and to get early access to the online shop before anyone else.
