  The huge popularity of faeries in art is celebrated in this new small-format book, featuring the creations of the best artists working in the US, Europe and Japan. It continues Collins & Brown's successful series of design motif books. Such is the appeal of faery art that a growing number of people are now using designs for purposes as diverse as body art and personal stationery. The purpose of this book is to offer a catalogue of inspiration for faery lovers everywhere, whether they want to create their own transfers, stickers and greetings cards, or adorn their bodies with henna painting and tattoos.

  Featured artists include Linda Ravenscroft, Josephine Wall and Myrea Pettit. The book includes artworks in all mediums, from digital to watercolour and oils, and the designs themselves show these gentle, playful creatures at work, at play, in flight and performing faery magic.
