Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to trace the heritage of one particular culture in the world culture, but the Celtic culture is exceptional. Their culture is incredibly rich in magical legends and stories that have been passed down from mouth to mouth for centuries. The Irish heritage has become the richest treasury of European culture from which its outstanding representatives took insipartion. Not only European people, but also great part of population in the United States, Canada, Australia, Argentina and New Zealand is made up of people whose ancestors were from one of the "Celtic countries." Modern world often does not even realize this. A striking example of this is an increasingly popular kind of fiction, called "fantasy". The basis of which is taken from Celtic mythological legends, and not by accident, because the founder and creator of the classic works of epic fantasy is J. R. R. Tolkien, who had been fond of Celtic myths for a long time.
For me, Ireland is primarily associated with fairies, fun and slightly menacing green folk, Banshee with its plaintive cry, leprechauns, cluricaune, grogans and many others. But now I would like to talk not about Irish fairies as about mythical creatures, but rather about their wonderful embodiment in the designer dolls. After all, we are all children deep inside... The first person worthy mentioning is Tricia Lancia. Poppenmoon or forest people by Tricia Lancia have an original design and character. Her fairies, elves, forest friends and other creatures are really unique. Have a look yourself:
It is impossible not to note the fabulous work of forest Rogers, famous primarily for its realism and performance at the same time a kind of childish tenderness and naivete: my favorite work by her is Banshee.
Touching Fairies
Even a bit flamboyant Denise Bledsoe couldn't get past a leprechaun, without capturing him in her work.
