Fairy Creations - Art

Fairies have been a popular topic at all of the libraries I have worked at.  But "fairies" are a tricky search term to work with.  Search results give you fiction, non-fiction, folk tales and fairy tales, picture books, and chapter books.  Thus, it is challenging to get a best-fit book in a fairy seeker's hands!  

Below, enjoy Samantha Bryan's creation of fairies:

Desire To Fly from R&A Collaborations on Vimeo.

"In a world influenced by Victorian-styled flying contraptions and gadgetry,these little handmade fairies appear to have adventures worthy of a stop motion film. Mixed media sculptor Samantha Bryan of West Yorkshire, UK [United Kingdom] shares how she makes everything, from their beetle-bums, to their practical flight suits, to the equipment they need to identify, collect, and spread fairy dust across the land."

The Bastion Learning Commons' main computer must be turned off, as I cannot access the data over the holidays.  A search at the ORL gave 71 hits and the varied results I mentioned above.  This book looked really yummy!  Use your ORL card to place a hold and have it delivered to the ORL branch nearest to you.
