Fairy art and fairycore bedroom decor is a whimsical and dreamy design genre. Remember when you were four or seven years old with a passion for flower faeries, water nymphs, sprites and toadstools? You’re never too old to let go of that wonderland aesthetic, which you can create using fantasy art, ditsy florals, twinkly lighting and pretty bunting. Here are my pieces of fairy art made using soft, fluffy mohair and delicate prints of fairies.

Fairycore Art
Fairies are hard workers, tending to their gardens and nature year-round. I imagine them foraging for mushrooms, then pressing flowers to make clothes, etching wood carvings into the bark of trees and finally making bird boxes from empty acorns. I decided to capture my fairies adorned with pressed flower features, which I also incorporated into their wing designs. As I mentioned, they tend to their pressed flowers, delphiniums, poppies, and cosmos. Like many children’s characters, I use colour themes like creams, purples and pinks.
Each piece of art is an original hand-embroidered piece using fine angora mohair threads. The paper I’ve embroidered onto is museum-quality and digitally printed. To shop these original pieces of fairy art, visit my Contempfleury shop. Alternatively, Etsy also offers a stunning collection of fairycore art. I love traditional flower fairy prints like those sold by Prints By Christine and Gielle Art, described as ‘magical art for fairy-hearted people.’
