About Us..

Our Faeries are all one-of-a-kind works of art, lovingly hand assembled in our secret Faery Factory by the Mistress of Magic, the Giver of Life, Kathy the Faery God Mother and her faithful sidekick Igor.. I mean husband Mark.

Kathy's Story: "Ever since I can remember I've had an affinity for the fae and found one day while I was volunteering at the homeless shelter, doing arts and crafts with those poor, poor children - children are our future you know - we were making dolls out of bits of wire, string, silk flower petals and wooden beads, all of which I was able to get donated to the shelter by organizing a fundraiser, and I found that after making these dolls, that some type of magic seemed to move from my fingers into them, bringing them to life! Well, I just had to share this gift with the world and with the help of my loving husband Mark, that's just what we've done. We've created our own little Faery Nest where, one by one, my little creations come to life. We love our work so much that sometimes, I do declare, we get so wrapped up with the love and magic, that we find that we've worked the night through, the thoughts of the joy and smiles that our little fae will bring to everyone is all we need to sustain us... "

Mark's story: Deep in the bowels of the Faery Factory, chained to the cold, damp earth, slaving to the weak guttering light of a candle stub set on the floor just out of reach, Igor.... I mean Mark, painfully draws each face on the faery head-to-be. His fingers are torn and bleeding from scrabbling for the raw, blank heads as his Mistress, laughing and taunting, rolls them across the floor. He cries in despair as he misses the next one, his flailing grab causing the cruel, heavy chains again to cut into his wrists as the wooden bead disappears into the gloom.

"No food for you un till you finish the next 500, and they all better be perfect or I'll throw the whole lot away and you'll have to start all over." she spat at the poor beast. "I'll be in my throne room getting a pedicure from that cute cabana boy from across the way." she called over he shoulder as she disappeared up the stairs, the heavy cell door booming shut with a grim finality that brooked no argument.

"Yeth Mithsrith" Igor....Mark slurred, his lumpy brow furrowed in concentration as his stumpy fingers delicately drew another angelic face onto a bead....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Faeries of Fae Arts are the imaginings of Kathy and Mark Johnson. We make our unique creations in our studio in Houston, Texas. After a few appearances at local festivals and galleries, our friends and customers convinced us to share the faeries with the rest of the world. We offer you our Galleries, browse and enjoy.

Check out the News page to see where we go next.

Our fae are available in Houston at Lucia's Garden.

Kathy is muy fabuloso y mi amor

Mark is also a member of Wyndnwyre, a Houston Celtic/Early Music band.

 

About our creations:

Our creations are about 3-1/2" to 4" tall. Flying fae can be posed to sit on your shelf or perhaps computer monitor and some of the standing or sitting fae can, with the help of the included 'magical flying spider silk', be sent flying.
