Lady Plummage – Faeries of Tasmania

Volume 2 of Faeries of Tasmania

Posted under Books, Lady Plummage on April 1st, 2024 by FaeriesOfTasmania

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.

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.

This lovely little faery (in the far right picture above) has taken on the appearance of the Spotted Begonia plant, which is also housing a small Silvereye. They appear to be spying on each other.

Book 2 for Faeries of Tasmania is coming along nicely. Some beautiful pieces are being sent to us from Terry, our illustrator on the project. You can find more about him and his other projects here the7thworld.com or read a brief intro about him here.

Aos Sí exhibition

Terry recently joined Sue Wright, from Tiny Owl Workshop, for a faery exhibition at the Brisbane Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens.

The small art studio within the gardens set the scene for a magical display. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit. Take a look.

The exhibition lasted for just a week and was a mixture of sketches, books, prints and sculptures with the theme of faery. People had entered a whimsical world. The small exhibition, had given a big impact on the locals.

Some lovely quotes from people as they wondered around.

{

‘I’ve been coming here for years and this is the first time I’ve walked in and smiled.’

}

{

‘This world makes me feel much younger than 69. Thank you.’

Terry had specially framed a few archival large prints from our book, which were snapped up. Further prints were ordered and delivered to their new homes. The Faeries of Tasmania book was on display along with limited bags, wrapping paper, block prints and T-Shirts. A special sketch was also on display for book 2.

Sue from Tiny Owl Workshop, had some wonderful sculptures of faeries, harpies, faery jingle bells and brooches, just name a few. She also had an amazing motor bike helmet, which was covered in fungi and moss. It was almost as if nature was reclaiming.

Here are some highlights from the week.

Lady Plummage’s Quince paste

Posted under Lady Plummage, Produce on November 17th, 2022 by FaeriesOfTasmania

Since the early Greeks, this fruit has been coming in and out of vogue. It’s very much in at the moment and Lady Plummage is on a mission to make it stay.

‘I first tasted this paste whilst trekking through the Spanish vineyards. We would end the day corralled around a small wooden table, tasting wine and cheese, which was topped with a thin slice of sticky sweetness.
My my, it was heaven at first taste.’
Lady Plummage

With Lady Plummage’s love of Quince, she is now developing her own slabs of heaven.

Quinces are picked by hand, cleaned and then simmered with a perfect mixture of sugar, lemon and water. That’s it!

Lady Plummage’s Quince paste is not ready for retail just yet. Much more tasting is needed.

Future products may come online as Lady Plummage develops her range.
