Today's Theme: Fairies (Fairy tales and Fairy doors) [Feb. 13th, 2008|01:03 pm]

A friend passed on this link to me this morning...apparently Ann Arbor Michigan has an artist who makes Faerie doors...and most of them aren't just a little door you slap onto a wall, but an installation where he puts in windows to view small rooms and such.  It was quite charming to look around the website, but also slightly heartbreaking to see the horrible things that people do to the doors that are out in public places.  

This one broke my heart the most:

This is on a shelf in the public library.  SO wonderful!

And here's what people do to it:


But it's still a neat site.

Second, has anyone seen the awesome article on the Yahoo homepage???

About the science of fairy tales.

Amazing creativity. Last year when Tess, Matt and I were wandering the grounds at Biltmore, we kept imagining little fairy doors on the big, ancient looking trees:)

Oh I'd imagine so! I love seeing little openings on trees and imagining they're "natural" fairy doors :)

This makes me want to visit that town! What a cool and creative hobby to have! I also love that teacher who brings her class to see the doors on a field trip - so sweet =)
