Author Description

The Fairy Houses wall calendar reveals a magical world of handcrafted faerie castles and cottages, fanciful fairy retreats and sanctuaries, and habitable hobbit hideaways. Celebrated environmental artist Sally J. Smith builds these exquisite creations from materials found in the wild. Each house begins as a collection of bark, twigs, mosses, and stones and is finished with touches of fragile blossoms, ferns, and butterfly wings that add to their ethereal beauty. When complete, the houses are placed in a natural setting so perfectly suited that they seem surely to have been crafted by fairy hands. A year of fantastic fairy houses on your wall. Frameable artbook-quality printing. The perfect gift for the fantasy, fairy tale, and nature art lover. Exceptional photographs of magical fairy houses in forests and fields. Printed on FSC® Certified Mixed Source Paper with soy-based inks. Published by Amber Lotus, an independent carbon-negative US company that has planted more than half a million trees since 2008. This calendar features US and Canadian legal holidays, phases of the moon, and important observances of the world's major religions. Children and adults alike will find inspiration and delight in this creative expression of land art.
