“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” -Henry David Thoreau

A sad anniversary to remember a gifted writer. Here is the letter she penned to her husband Leonard before she filled her overcoat pockets with rocks and walked into the River Ouse to drown.
I love making “Wee Folk” fairy dresses out of natural materials. I love making tiny shadowboxes. Like cookies in cream, I combined them both. This is The Witch Hare, based on the lore of an Irish fairy; it is a miniature fairy dress made from dried grass and cattail fluff perched in a shadowbox on a bed of dark green moss with two sprouting mushrooms.

If you follow my posts, you know that I make miniature fairy dresses out of natural materials I find in the woods. And each one has an Irish back story, which is perfect for this month, as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, based on the patron saint of Ireland.
Here are three handmade one-of-a-kind green dresses and their Irish backgrounds, which are $35 each on our Etsy store.
Is St. Patrick’s Day the “Holy Day” for you or an Irish friend? I made this wee fairy dress in the midst of a nor'easter. While it was a whiteout outside for nearly 18 hours, piling up over a foot, I wanted to bring the beauty of Ireland's lush green landscape into this dress with dark green reindeer moss over a birch bodice.
The back of the bodice is stitched up by bright green thread. This miniature fairy dress measures 1.5" by 4 " and comes with its own wee custom hanger.

She is a love fairy and carries the red rose with her at all times. But love can cut both ways as anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak knows. The Leanhaun sidhe is a Gaelic muse, a solitary fairy, who seeks men to love, and live off of, for the more they are in her power, the more they waste away. The last gift they give her is their writing and poetry. She is immortal and death does not destroy her power. She is ever seeking for the next man to inspire and claim.
Imbolc (pronounced EE-Molc) is a Celtic holiday on February 1 commemorating the midway point of winter changing to spring. The Celtic Goddess Brighid transforms from the Crone of winter to the Maiden of spring. After being shut in all winter, this is a celebration of light and of lengthening days.

In winter, the ‘Wee Folk,’ Irish fairies, retreat underground. This is the Reindeer Muse, the Queen's own poet. Every day, she alights to a sunny spot to collect the sun and her thoughts for a new verse she'll take back to the Queen and court for the evening. This one-of-a-kind miniature fairy dress is made from dried grass, birch bark and reindeer moss adorned with an applique of birch and dried Hydrangea.
"The Fairy Nurse" is a one-of-a-kind miniature fairy dress I created out of birch bark and brambles in my woods, with just the slightest touch of seedpod fluff adorning her skirt.
I’ve already sold several of these and this latest one is one-of-a-kind. This is miniature writer’s nook is made with handmade furniture out of a vintage cigar box that imagines Virginia Woolf's essay "A Room of One's Own”— a literal and figurative space for women writers.
This wee Irish fairy is called Sinann, based on legend of the origins of The River Shannon, a river filled by the Otherworld. It was named after a young lady called Sinann, who happened to be the grand-daughter of Lir, god of the sea. She decided to visit Connla’s Well and ate the fruits of the Tree of Knowledge, although she knew it was forbidden. As a result, the waters of the well rose up, carrying her out to sea and drowning her there. So the River Shannon was formed.
Check out our latest tiny artwork. A two-inch watercolor portrait of Megunticook Lake sits on a tiny wooden easel. This postage stamp view surrounded by mountains, most notably, Maiden Cliff, as it rises dramatically across the lake, comes from the imagination of local Mainer Justin Stephens, a self-taught artist. All of his life he has climbed these mountains, swum this lake and spent many a summer day right here at this very spot in the Fernald's Neck Preserve.

These are my Wee Folks creations, original fairy dresses made from natural materials in Maine. I've traveled twice to Ireland to collect the stories of the Wee Folk. Fairies.
