Inspired by Fairytales

I recently created this piece called "Watching the Meteor Shower".  It shows Cinderella and Prince Charming on a date, watching glittering streaks of light fall to Earth.
It got me thinking, I wonder how many artists are inspired by fairytales.  I found so many wonderful items, please take a look and comment on your favorite one!


This one is also inspired by Cinderella.  It is called The Lost Shoe by Mollyandmagic.

This one is called Land of Many Tales Fairy Tale Map, created by paintandink.

This fragrant soap by Posh Bijou is called Summer Palace, and it was inspired by The classic tale of the Snow Queen!

Also by Posh Bijou, this refreshing and beautiful peppermint soap is named for the Snow Queen.



 These little made-to-order cuties by Bloomsburygroup can inspire children to act out new fairytales!

 

Here's a fun take on the "Mirror, Mirror, on the wall" scene from Snow White by Householdwords.





Princesses, castles, knights on horseback.... Sounds like a recipe for a fairytale! This mosaic was created by Artsyphartsy.



This Christmas toadstool by Elineof would look right at home in a forest scene a la Snow White!




DycheDesigns is working on a legion of fairytale bad guys. This one's name is Quigley!



Even the Mad Hatter's getting represented by Cartooniecatdoodles.



Rolanddesigns created this fabulous princess necklace!

 
Sybile created this unique interpretation of the fairest of them all, ready to bite into the poison apple.
