Inspired by Cicely Mary Baker's Flower Fairies and Brian Froud's various faeries and goblins I created a dragonfly faerie. I wanted to make something less traditional but still recognizable as a faerie.

Illustrator Cicely Mary Barker was largely self-taught due to ill health.
Her Flower Fairies combined botanical sketches with characterful life drawings of local children.
Here her portrait of ‘The Garden Boy’ becomes the watchful Elm Fairy

Lavender, a favourite of the fae, has been used for centuries both medicinally & for love spells & rituals. Carrying lavender can encourage peace, love & good health. It is also a talisman of love & protection & can ward off the evil eye.💜

Honeysuckle (woodbine) is the birth flower for June, along with the rose. Twining around the front door it will protect your house from harm, & placed in a vase it will attract money. To Chaucer “wodebyne” symbolised steadfastness in love. Img: Cicely Barker

Queen of the Meadow

“Kingfisher-courtiers,
swift-flashing, beautiful,
Dragon-flies, minnows,
are mine one and all;
Little frog-servants who
wait round me, dutiful,
Hop on my errands and come when I call”

and verse by Cicely Mary Barker
