August Fairy of the Month 

"Queen Mab is a fairy referred to in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. She also appears in other 17th century literature, and in various guises in later poetry, drama and cinema. In the play her activity is described in a famous speech by Mercutio written in iambic pentameter, in which she is described as a miniature creature who drives her chariot into the noses and into the brains of sleeping people to compel them to experience dreams of wish-fulfillment.

"O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone"

There are many different forms of Fairy wings. Let your imagination be your guide. Some are inspired from butterflies,others from birds, still others from flowers and leaves.

Colors range from irridescent, to all spectrums of the rainbow. They can be solid or translucent.

Many Fairies have clothing that look like petals and parts of the flowers.

Some faries have tattered and torn garments.

Some have delicate flowing garments, like chiffon or silk.

Fairy resembling a Child- Clothing simple & delicate.

 One of the most common features of all Fairies is that they have Wings. I have yet to see a fairy without them.

They are usually smaller then normal humans- but not depicted smaller all the time.

Although fairies can be male or female, females are much more common.

Fairies are said to be mischievous and sometimes pull practical jokes on humans.

Many Fairies are also said to be able to have the ability to distort a humans perception of reality. A good example of this is in the book Spiderwick. In the story Aunt Lucida ate berries given to her from the fairies, and the taste was so spectacular that she was never able to eat any other kind of food.  

Angelic Looking Fairies or Tree Fairy

*Some Fairies are guardians of Trees- when the tree dies so does the fairy.

 Flower Fairy

 Rainbow Fairy

Guardian of Flying Creatures

Tinkerbell  

One of the most famous fairies is Tinker Bell. You may not know the author of the famous story of Peter Pan is James Matthew Barrie. A most interesting fact is that the story we know as Peter Pan was not the first of Barrie's stories about the character.

For More about J.M. Barrie go to: http://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/findingneverland.php

Depictions of Tinkerbell in recent years have obscured J.M. Barrie's original intent for the character. The origin of the name Tinkerbell comes from the character's ability to fix pots and cauldrons (tinker), a skill that has been foregone in favor of her use of fairy dust.

 Tinker Bell was based on singer/actress Margaret Kerry. Margaret was the live action model for Tinker Bell.

        Recently Pixie Hollow is beaming with fairies, a few are: Tinker Bell and all of her friends – Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist, Bess, Fira, Lily, Beck, Prilla, Rani, Vidia, Fairy Mary and Queen Clarion.
