Fairy Figurines

There is nothing more strongly associated with magic than fairies, and fairy figurines are the perfect way to bring an air of magic and imagination into your life. In popular art and literature today, fairies are good and beautiful creatures – little human-like figures with gossamer wings that can heal emotional wounds and set trouble right. We collect them as symbols of good luck.

Fairy crafts weren’t always as popular as they are today, because fairies weren’t always so benevolent. Not so long ago, a fairy might deliver a curse, drop off a changing infant, or steal a human and take them off to the fairy world. Do you remember Sleeping Beauty, cursed by a fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and die? What happened to these mischievous cruel fairies? They must have been finally outnumbered by the friendly ones, for the fairy figurines of today generally don’t portray that side of the fairy world.

The magic remains, however, and one has only to look at beautiful fairy figurines, or wear a piece of finely crafted fairy jewelry to be reminded of all the good things that are still possible if we just believe in magic. There are fairy themes for every taste: tall graceful fairies made from glittering porcelain, childlike ceramic fairies, sun catching fairies of stained glass and crystal, gothic fairies – an endless selection of fairy crafts and creations.

The fairies have invaded the internet just as they have always invaded every corner of human lives – a fact that means we don’t have to search for fairy figurines in enchanted places. A Google search reveals over 13 million sites where fairies can be found! The long and changing history of fairy legends and fairy crafts, combined with the fact that fairies have had different traditional meanings in different cultures, means that the variety is endless – and that the people buying, selling and trading fairy jewelry and other art come from many different backgrounds. The internet is an enormous melting pot for fairies and fairy collectors – who knows what might come of that?

If you want to find your way through the internet fairy world, it’s best to have some specific ideas about what you’re looking for before venturing in.

If you have a favorite fairy artist, search for him or her by name. A Google search for antique fairies will yield over 600,000 sites – but beware the fairies of yesteryear: they are the mischievous ones who may play nasty tricks on you, and they may be waiting to do just that – it’s one of the traditional fairy crafts.
