Missy's clay fairies have been featured in Doll Reader Magazine and by design are created to have an earthy, natural, and disheveled look. They come in a variety of poses and expressions that include sleeping, flying, grumpy, mischievous, or happy. These whimsical creatures are delicately handcrafted and each fairy is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Two pieces are never alike so each clay fairy pictured on the site is the one you’ll receive if purchased. She gets many requests to “recreate” something that’s been sold, unfortunately, because of the one-of-a-kind handcrafted nature of these fairies this isn’t possible.

Missy’s use of vintage and heirloom materials has become her trademark. She uses a variety of materials that include: satin, lace, velvet, gauze, marabou, silk, vintage paper flowers, vintage buttons and coins, vintage costume jewelry, multi-colored crystals, and real glass glitter.

Her clay fairies are predominately housed in rich handcrafted accoutrements that include jeweled beds with matching accented pillows and fringed dust ruffles, jeweled shells, vintage brass cups, elaborate jeweled fairy nests, jeweled pods, and antique silver spoons to name just a few. Her flying clay fairies come with either a gold stand that’s covered with a variety of natural mosses, seeds, and dried flowers or some type of natural swing.

Each clay fairy is (approximately 7” tall). The clay is robust and the bodies are made from silk wrapped wire. These lovely ladies can be posed and manipulated in a variety ways. They’re perfectly suited for young girls under 10 and are the perfect “first fairy”. They can be dusted with a soft brush or a quick blast of condensed computer keyboard air. Many people choose to cover their clay fairies with a glass dome or in a glass display case.

Finally, Missy’s clay fairies are available exclusively through her website and the Sawdust Festival. They should be considered highly collectable and many have been featured in magazines. She uses images of her clay fairies in her line of fairy greeting cards.
