Far Far Away

From Wales comes self taught sculptor Sara Rhys who makes utterly charming little Faerie Folk. Each semi-poseable doll is unique, with hand sculpted face, hands and feet and a hand stitched outfit. Every one has their own distinct character and I wouldn’t be surprised if they arrived with more than a little Faerie magic!

Mummified Fairy

A year on from ‘the greatest Fairy hoax since the Cottingley Fairies‘, in which the mummified remains of a ‘fairy’ were discovered in Derbyshire, attracting world-wide attention, the artist behind the prank is still creating dead fairies. Dan Baines is no stranger to illusion and mystery as he makes Victorian magic props for a living, and now after the interest shown in the mummified fairy he is also offering one of a kind, horribly realistic dead fairy sculptures for sale. It is also possible to commission your very own dead fairy, and what Cabinet of Curiosity would be complete without one?
