Iron Fairies

Many years ago, in a secret garden, a group of children stumbled across three little rusty books, no bigger than a matchbox in size. It is not just a fairy tale, but an adventure deep into an underground world of hidden tunnels full of grumpy little old men. These little old men have been living in a world of darkness for hundreds of years mining a precious red ore, creating and making all sorts of weird machinery and inventions. Over the years, these miners created a range of little Iron Fairies. These fairies represent certain special areas in the garden above them. Once a fairy is made she is wrapped in cloth and is taken to the garden in the cover of darkness where she is placed in her planned position awaiting the sun to rise the next morning. Nobody knows yet, so we need to find out exactly why the miners have made these fairies and why they choose to leave them in the garden, but we do know that there are a few very naughty fairies amongst the bunch! Watch out!! They are normally blue in colour and cause all sorts of problems to the miners. When you purchase an iron fairy, she comes wrapped in cloth and sealed in a box with a poem describing her personality and style. She also comes with iron fairy dust that you must sprinkle upon her to set her free.

The Iron Fairies are all handmade and no two are exactly the same. Click on the images below to learn more about the Iron Fairies.
