Fairy Door and Window

Description

The Fairy Door phenomenon seems like a new fashion, but the folks in Northern Europe have been allowing the little folk into their homes for centuries. They bring love, laughter and good luck to all who welcome them.

What is a Fairy Door? Fairy Doors are magical entrances for fairies and other wee folk, you will spot them in a wide variety of places, from homes to businesses. These Fairy Doors can be installed indoors or out and provide a portal to comfort and security for the Wee Ones around your home or apartment.

Simply lean them against a tree or rock, place them on a bookshelf, hang them on a wall or set them against a baseboard and – Voila! – you have an instant Wee home. But you can be sure that wherever you place your Fairy Door, a little Fairy magic will escape through and into your home. Fairies are very protective creatures, and it is said that no nightmare or frightening thing dare enter a room that contains a Fairy Door.

All of my Fairy Doors are hand cut and no two doors will be the same. When I roll out my clay, I let the shape of the clay dictate the shape of the door. This particular Fairy Door is a little larger than most of the ones I make and was textured against a live tree in my backyard. It is stained with an an assortment of underglazes to make it look "barky." The door measures approximately 8 1/4 inches tall by 4 1/4 inches wide. The window is approximately 2 1/2 wide by 3 1/2 inches tall
