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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, Happy Holidays, however you celebrate the end of year, we wish you all the best and hope 2024 is full of faery fun.
We will be shutting our doors over the Christmas for a much needed break after such a busy year of researching, writing and designing.
Book 2 is nearly finished. Lady Plummage will be going over the text for the book, making sure everything is just right – we don’t want any mishaps just before it goes to print.
It doesn’t matter how you spell it, apart from the local collection of sightings by Lady Plummage, Dr Simon Young is presently organising a census of fairy sightings. He has been doing so for the last few years and the census is residing on the Faery Investigation Society website.
So, if you have encountered a faery and would like it to be part of the wider faery sighting community, you can do the survey here. All entries are anonymous.
You can also view the previous census The Fairy Census, 2014-2017
Or if you prefer, we can pass on your sightings to Dr Simon Young directly.
Kindly put together by Terry.
With the success of the Brisbane exhibition, we are looking to have another in our home state of Tasmania. It’ll most likely be in conjunction with the release of book 2 later next year and be bigger. We are looking at special book packages, prints, original artwork by Terry, and much more.
It’ll be a matter of finding the correct venue, which fits the world of Lady Plummage.
So much happening, and so exiting.
