Welcome to our newest sponsor, Rachel’s Fairy Houses. Rachel Pace creates the most dainty dwellings for faerie folk complete with furniture and even lighting. Originally inspired by the faerie house from the film ‘Fairytale: A True Story’, Rachel has been building unique faerie houses since 2001. Talking about her work, Rachel says “Every house that I make has a story behind it. As I am making it I think of the fairy that might live there, what she likes to do, collect, her colors etc., and all that comes out in the final house. No two are exactly alike and each house has a distinct personality of its own. I think I fall in love with every one of them!”. Rachel recently received the ‘Best of 2009′ award from World of Froud. High praise indeed, and so worthy of these beautiful little houses. In fact, I quite wish I was small enough to live in one…

Readers of FAE magazine will already be familiar with some of Armorel Hamilton’s work (she drew the faeries in the logo and has also contributed interior illustrations). Now with the launch of her new website we can all marvel at these wonderful creations. Armorel is both a sculptor and painter, and has recently directed her first short film (watch below). This is a world of ethereal faeries and whimsical creatures, and even the odd unicorn. The creatures in particular have a magical quality… one of them came home with me after the Avalon Art Exhibition and I am pretty sure he is getting up to mischief every time my back is turned!

Stumbled across on Flickr, this fantastic offering from Charmfoundry, American artist Kate Phillips. Evidence of Fairies is a little assemblage of a Fairy crown and tiny skull, apparently found under an Oak tree in Scotland. Very convincing!
