Bearded Fairies by Claudette Atkinson

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you come across another mystical thing in the heart of Brighton, Bearded Fairies.

Latest TV’s Yael Breuer went along to meet the creator of these wonderful characters, Claudette Atkinson to find out more about the creation, inspiration and magic behind her Bearded Fairies. Claudette created these fairies with beards so that “anybody can have one.” Male and female, you can create your own and decide how it looks.

On her website, Claudette has a whole portfolio of fairies she’s made in the past. Each order includes a carved acorn filled with magical fairy dust to make your wishes come true.

The idea for these fairies came about during the first lockdown, Claudette heard a voice after asking “what am I supposed to be doing with my life?” and it said Bearded Fairies. From there she started carving each of the fairies and never looked back.

You can find out more about the individual pieces and order your own on Claudette’s website.
