Fantasy Tea Shop
The Fairy Society’s Fantasy Tea Shop brings you a range of ‘Exotic Tea and Rich Decadent Chocolates’, in packaging featuring some of todays leading fantasy artists. Sounds like a winner to me! The teas include traditional, herbal and fruit blends, along with their own ‘designer’ brews, with evocative names such as Enchanted Dreams, Goblin Spice and Toadstool Brew. Teas are available in a choice of tins and glass jars, containing loose leaf or teabags. The chocolate bars look quite lovely too!

Her creations include clay and porcelain fairies dressed in vintage fabrics and adorned with pretty beads and decorations; along with fairy wands, crowns, jewellery and clothing. Missy has been making fairies since 1998 but only recently launched the Made In Heaven website. Missy’s fairies can also be seen at the Sawdust Festival, held annually at Laguna Beach, California.

Tessa Farmer’s amazing skeletal fairy sculptures created from insect wings and roots have been featured on Fae Nation in the past. Starting today, she has a new installation at London’s Natural History Museum. Farmer worked with the Entomology Department, studying the predatory behaviour of wasps, bees and spiders, which has resulted in an ‘infestation’ of tiny fantastical creatures invading the museum. The exhibition runs until 28th January 2008.

Karen Dawnn is a Canadian artist who has combined a love of nature with a fascination for all things Faerie to create delicate vision of faerie that spans many different media.
“I am tremendously inspired by the enduring magic and beauty of our natural places and the elusive notion of a Faerie realm. It is my creative goal to create paintings that combine these two entities into something intangibly delicate and utterly believable. It is the magic of the seen and the unseen that I hope to successfully capture in all my paintings, poems, photographs and sculptures.”
‘Elsewhere – A Journey to the Realm of the Faerie’ is Karen’s latest book which combines her art and Earth-inspired verse.
Muse Hill Mythic Art
Unfortunately, the site doesn’t look as if it has been updated for a number of years, but Oliver Hunter’s Muse Hill site still makes quite a magical place to visit. This multi-talented Australian artist paints, draws, sculpts and writes prose and poetry, all delicately crafted and infused with mythic imagery. You can find more of Olivers art, writing and thoughts in his Endicott Studio profile.
