February/March Fairy  

fairy, (a small being, human in form, playful and having magical

powers) Other names for them are faery, faerie, fay, sprite. This is a

definition according to Wordnet.

fair·y      n. pl. fair·ies

[Middle English fairie, fairyland, enchanted being, from Old French faerie, from fae, fairy,  goddess of fate, from Latin ftum, fate; see fate.]

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.  

 Gothic Fairies   

 Flower Fairy

*Some have the power to make flowers bloom.  

 Rainbow Fairy

*There is a fairy to control the Rainbow.

Guardian of Flying Creatures

*Birds, Butterflies and other flying animals may have a Fairy as a guardian. 

The most common power that Fairies have is that they

are responsible for keeping the forces of nature in balance.

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.

A fairy ring, also known as fairy circle, elf circle or pixie ring, is a naturally occurring ring or arc of mushrooms.  (Def. from http://www.wikipedia.com/)

The fairy ring was believed to be a kind of portal to the fairy knigdom. Legions told stories of people stepping into the ring and never being seen again.
