Lutruwita, which is the
traditional land owners name given
to this beautiful state of Australia,
holds a few secrets.

Some people in Lutruwita or Tasmania, have witnessed faeries for many years. Some have been merely shadows, whilst others have had closer encounters. Up until now, the sightings have been kept to family dinners and close friends.

Lady Plummage has been collecting sightings of faeries in Tasmania for many years and is now slowly releasing her interviews, describing various faeries around the state. It has taken a while for Lady Plummage to build trust with the witnesses and for them to share their story.

During the interviews the witnesses have given faery descriptions, which have been illustrated by Terry Whidborne. Further illustrations will happen as more sightings are unearthed.

No-one really knows where they have come from or how many reside in Tasmania. They seem, as described by the witnesses, to be varied in appearance.

The original owners of this land say they are not from here. Not originally.

Along with Lady Plummage, is a small dedicated team helping her mission to show the world what others have seen on this amazing little island at the bottom of the world.

Thank you

After receiving their Books or Tiny Book of Sketches in the post, we’ve had a few emails coming in saying wonderful things about the publications. It’s always nice to read that the product has struck a cord with them or have connected with certain faeries within the books. We will continue releasing stories and illustrations from Lady Plummage’s vast archive. But first, book 3 is to be written, edited, formatted, designed and finally printed.

Tiny Book of Sketches

The Tiny Book of Sketches are the sketches that didn’t make it into vol 1 or vol 2 of Faeries of Tasmania for one reason or another.

The special concertina style booklet is printed both sides, which when folded, fits neatly into the beautifully etched wooden box. Each concertina style booklet is numbered and signed by Terry, and comes with a hand printed Faery lino print.

Size of the unfolded booklet is 840mm wide x 85mm high.

There will be only 50 created in this series.

We are taking orders through email at present as the shop is yet to be launched. Please reach out to us for prices and postage to your area.

Cloth colours

The cloth on the hard cover books have certainly got us excited. The texture and how the gold foil sits on the cover look amazing.

Book 3 is still in the process. We are still throwing around ideas whilst Lady Plummage is deep into the writing of Edith’s story. We are possibly looking into creating another hard back.

We have also been talking about a possible kickstarter to help create a beautuful pack. All ideas are up in the air at the moment.

Tiny books – UPDATE

The boxes are beginning to roll in for the limited edition tiny book of faeries. These are some of the faerie sketches that didn’t make it into the first 2 books.

The height of the Tiny Book is 85mm, and when you fold out the concertina style booklet, it spreads out to 841mm.

The tiny book and wooden case will be ready for 14th Nov. We’ll update here once ready.

Faeries of Tasmania Vol2 trailer

Tiny BOOK of Sketches

As with many illustrated books, roughs or rejected illustrations never see the light of day. We’ve decided to put ours into a very small book.

Terry had created so many wonderful faeries for our books, some just didn’t make it for one reason or another. Rather than wasting these, we decided to put them into a limited edition of tiny books.

Limited to 50, each will be numbered and signed.

We will let you know when they become available.

First look at ‘Faeries of Tasmania’ Vol 2

Lady Plummage has given us permission to upload the cover and sample spreads from Vol 2 of Faeries of Tasmania.

Following on from the success of the first book, Lady Plummage has done it again with Vol 2.

Along with the 20 new faery interviews accompanied with full colour illustrations, Lady Plummage has delved further into Edith’s life, who is featured on the cover. In Vol 1, Lady Plummage only had a light dusting of evidence about Edith and her connection to the faeries in Tasmania. Vol 2 will go deeper with more evidence brought forward by readers of the first book. With more evidence becoming available, she has managed to piece together her story, from her arrival in Hobart to her disappearance.

Vol 2 will also have an excerpt from the next publication covering Edith’s Story. We are not sure when this will be available, but please drop in from time to time to see the progress of this publication.

Vol 2 is due out this Christmas in various bookshops.

Volume 2 of Faeries of Tasmania

As you may have noticed, we have changed ‘Book 2’ to ‘Volume 2’. Lady Plummage wanted all future posts to have this change to align with her collections of faery witnesses.

As vast as Lady Plummage’s collections are, we can only fit 20 of her favourite sightings within the next volume along with the added story of Edith S Brown, which is changing all the time due to more information coming in from readers of her initial book.

Speaking of Edith, it has come to light her connection with faeries being in Tasmania, has now stalled. More information will be in Volume 2.

Even though Lady Plummage has stalled a little with regards to Edith’s involvement with the faeries, she has gathered enough information to begin writing the novel of Edith’s life. No timeline has been set for this release.

Devonport exhibition

Special packs will be available while the exhibition is on. Available only at the shop in the Gallery.

These packs will consist of a signed book 1 of Faeries of Tasmania, a Faeries of Tasmania tote bag and a special enamel brooch. These will be limited.

The large A2 prints (excluding Jelly Bean) within the exhibition and the small sketches are for sale. Please email us for prices.

We are please to mention that some of the images in book 1 will be part of the ‘Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star’ exhibition being displayed at the Paranaple Arts Centre, Devonport.

The exhibition comprises work from various artists, which have a connecting theme of magical realms. So, why don’t you drop in and escape this world for little while – you never know what you might find.

We are also showing a special print from Faeries of Tasmania volume 2, due out this Christmas 2024.

While the exhibition is on, signed Faeries of Tasmania books, will be available for sale at their bookshop.

Happy New Year!

This is going to be an exciting year for us here at Faeries of Tasmania.

Considering the success of the faery exhibition we had in Brisbane, we’ll be having more this year, not only in Brisbane but possibly in our home state of Tasmania. More on this as things develop.

And obviously the second book from Lady Plummage will be available for Christmas.

We are also looking into a special epub edition of more faery encounters from around Tasmania. This will be totally separate from the physical books and possibly just a black and white edition of short interviews and sketches that haven’t been included in the full colour editions.

Lady Plummage has only just allowed us to post a little about her book 3. Yes, she is working on book 3! This will be Edith’s story, which you would have learnt about in book 1, book 2 will also go into more detail.

All we know is that Lady Plummage will be writing a novel on what she believes Edith went through during her time in Hobart.
