Published 1 September 2005

The huge popularity of fairies in art is celebrated in this new small-format book, featuring the creations of the best artists working throughout the United States and Europe. It continues Collins & Brown's successful series of design motif books.
Such is the appeal of fairy art that a growing number of people are now using designs for purposes as diverse as body art and personal stationery. The purpose of this book is to offer a catalogue of inspiration for fairy lovers everywhere, whether they want to create their own transfers, stickers and greetings cards, or adorn their bodies with henna painting and tattoos.
The book includes artworks in all mediums, from digital to watercolour and oils, and the designs themselves show these gentle, playful creatures at work, at play, in flight and performing fairy magic.
