“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” -Ronald Dahl

“Each Fae bestows it’s own unique magic.”

All creatures large or small, beautiful or plain serve a purpose. Gnomes guard our homes and gardens. Elves engage productivity. Trolls transmit luck. Faeries foster creativity. Leprechauns leverage prosperity. Gargoyles give protection. Goblins gobble up bad energy.

the Artist

Dan Butner / creature creator

One February morning, I felt compelled to create something new. An idea became an illustration and then a story. I then gathered clay, wire, recycled fabrics and pulled out a box of natural materials I'd always felt compelled to collect. Minutes became hours, and by evening, my first Fae Folk, "Button" the Wood Elf (pictured above), was born. Since then, my mind has been filled with more ideas than my hands have time to create. All of my creations are one-of-a-kind. If you'd like a friend of your own, please contact me.

 Process & Adoption


From Concept


Whether your concept or ours, each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind posable creation. Each Fae Folk is hand-sculpted, hand-painted, and finished with love. I use as many locally sourced, natural, and recycled materials as possible in the studio.

To Completion


Each creature comes with a tag that includes your new friends name, age, magical property, zodiac sign, and adoption fee.

To Adoption


Though the Fae Folk enjoy their time communing in the studio, they also enjoy travel and bond with their humans very quickly.
