This is how the Wee Folk came to be in Salley's own words:

"Becoming involved in my children's Waldorf School made me more aware of the value of creative and imaginative play in the classroom and in life. Our school's parent handwork group introduced me to the wonderful wool felt and fleece that now is a staple ingredient in my artwork...Recently, I have been taking photographs of various fairies, transportingthem around in a basket, looking for suitable natural settings outside.Friends drive by and catch me out on a hazy day, taking pictures at local marshes, gardens and beaches. Strangers don't see the little fairies andthink that I'm just photographing flowers. My sons are embarrassed to see meat their high school, gathering acorn caps from under oak trees, bending over with a basket on my arm, "like a peasant woman", as my son Peter says.I suppose I am destined to become even more eccentric as time goes on. But, I am comforted by the knowledge that creating art keeps my imagination alive and makes me feel whole and happy." ~ Salley
