Oh, How Very Fairy!!
What are my influences?
There are certain places, especially old forests, where you feel like you have stepped into a different realm. You can almost see where a fairy or sprite would live or where they dance their rounds on full moon nights.This is my inspiration. Nature and everything our Creator made that is good and lovely!!
I have loved fairies and anything that is small and lovely since I was a kid.
Being greatly influenced by movies like Labyrinth, Willow, The Dark Crystal and The NeverEnding Story, I had a very active imagination and preferred making villages out of mud and furniture out of found objects to almost anything else.
I have also been greatly influenced by George MacDonald's Fairy Tales (The Light Princess, The Golden Key, The Carasoyn), Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales, Mary Norton's 'The Borrowers' series, Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, all of Beatrix Potter's amazing stories and artwork, the Wind in the Willows and Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book.
I have always been so intrigued by imagining sweet little animals wearing human clothing and using thimbles for shopping baskets, etc.
Influential Movies and Books
Fantasy/Fairy
Though I saw and read many of these when I was a kid, I still love them and enjoy them. It keeps me young at heart and it keeps my imagination active.

Songbird Creations - Titania's Midnight Moon-Sparkle Dwelling
To purchase, please visit www.songbird1.etsy.com
This particular abode is 'Titania's Midnight Moon-Sparkle Dwelling'. It was designed for the use of the Fairy Queen during nighttime fairy revels! Large numbers of fairies gather to dance countless rounds in and out of moonbeams all night long. The Fairy Queen loves to be at the center of it all, in her own special throne room, with her fairies-in-waiting by her side.This home includes a Fairy Ring with seating for the Queen and her attendants and a Fairy Lantern that provides a warm light which flickers like a candle. Every Fairy Dwelling comes with an enchanted poem. This poem needs to be recited as soon as the new home finds a resting place, so as to alert the fairies that they no longer need to find shelter for themselves.
**Please do not place this home around small children of 4 years and younger. The batteries in the tea light and the decorations, if dismantled, may pose a choking hazard.**
***I make toddler-friendly versions of these homes as well!!!***
Songbird Creations - Fairy Ring
If you wish to purchase, please visit www.songbird1.etsy.com
For small gatherings in your home or garden, nothing makes a group of fairies feel more welcome than a custom-made fairy ring.This particular ring has seating for six and a pedestal in the middle for special performances. Fairies can be quite vain and they vie to be the center of attention, especially to show off dancing skills.
Songbird Creations - Snow Maiden Palace
If you wish to purchase, please visit www.songbird1.etsy.com
This particular abode is a 'Snow Maiden Palace'. It was designed for the use of fairies who welcome the cold and love to watch snow falling on tree tops. This home especially appeals to fairies who specialize in making snowflakes and painting frost on windows.Most of the time, these fairies have to go underground after work as Winter provides little warmth and cover. They would love to stay protected outside, where they can revel in their handiwork. This dwelling provides such a place!
This home includes a Fairy Nest complete with a blanket for cold nights, a lovely table for their belongings, and a chandelier that hangs from the roof providing a warm light which flickers like a candle. Every Fairy Dwelling comes with an enchanted poem. This poem needs to be recited as soon as the new home finds a resting place, so as to alert the fairies that they no longer need to find shelter for themselves.
**Please do not place this home around small children of 4 years and younger. The batteries in the tea light and the decorations, if dismantled, may pose a choking hazard.**
