Have you ever seen a picture that inspired?

This page is dedicated to the

Flower Fairies
of
Cicely Mary Barker



Born in 1895, Cicely Mary Barker first published her world-reknowned
Flower Fairies in 1923. Living in England her entire life, she used children from
her sister's school to model for the fairies. Making the outfits by hand and recreating
the various plants and flowers with the eye of a botanist, Ms. Barker created some of
the most striking and beautiful watercolor paintings I have ever seen.

It was hard for me to pick samples of her art, even from just her Flower Fairy
pictures. I hope to trade the pictures about and put up different ones every few
months or so. I hope you enjoy what is here now.


One of the
most famous of
CMB's flower
fairies: the
Rose Fairy -
Flower Fairies
of the Summer		 the Double Daisy
fairy, an earlier
work -A Flower
Fairy Alphabet		 Ribwort Plantain
Fairy. This guy
is just too cool!
-Flower Fairies
of the Wayside		 Tansy Fairy. This
girl is a great
example of CMB's
later works.
The child is an
active part of the

Flower Fairies of
the Wayside



And, actually, the main reason I started this page was to compile a list of all of CMB's
Flower Fairies. I have found 171 so far, not counting those I still have to verify,
and would like to know exactly how many she did.
Sooo... If you know of any that aren't on here, please email me. I would like to
see a picture of it to confirm the identity but if that is not possible, tell me anyway :)

Others to verify: 5 - Morning Glory, Oak, Peony, Tiger Lily, Water Lily
