The World of the Fantastical Fairies

The illustrations and actual figurines of the various types and makes of these mythical beings have grown dramatically in popularity amongst the fans of the mythical and fantastical genres. From gardening to storybooks, they have been recreated in a variety of settings and environments. Today there are celebrated artists providing beautiful illustrations of the fairies, whilst talented artisans create the lifelike figurines that are used to adorn gardens, rooms and special areas in the home. One cannot help but to get up in the fantasy of these beings when looking at either the drawings or the figurines, with so much attention to the detail contained within.

There are a number of different viewpoints and opinions when it comes to their origin, some believe that even the gnomes and goblins fall within the category together with them, whilst others fervently believe them to be in a class of their own, within a more ethereal level. In addition to this there are many different folkloric beliefs that fairies originated from a variety of different settings and conditions. These beliefs once again range from the fairies emanating from the dead, to being demoted angels and even demonic beings. One of the most popular beliefs though is that the fairies form the basis of the elementals, in which they are described as spiritual beings and are definitely separate from angels and humans.

As definitions and reported origins continue to abound the fairies remain ever popular and are often the source of desired costumes for kids going to costume parties, brought about by the many television programs and cinematic movies that continue to make this genre one of the more popular genres of our times.

This is not limited purely to the kids, as the fairy is often times found within gothic circles, albeit at times a darker version of these characters. Many artists have emerged within the gothic fantasy realm of fairies and have developed a significant following within this specific area and have given rise to a loyal following of collectors and admirers of the mystical worlds and actions of these mythical beings. So much so that a specific art type namely fairy art has emerged, and is literally so dynamic in the variety of colours and figurines that can be incorporated, the art type can be implemented subtly throughout the home or focussed upon one room or space within the house, dependent upon the follower of this art type.

The art and following of fairies and similar fantasy based characters continues to thrive and become more diverse, as people seek additional aspects of this mythical world to add to their growing collections, shouldn't you be seeking out the ideal figurines for your collection too?
