相信精靈的存在嗎？從來沒有想過這麼近的地方，精靈就在旁邊。不知道拍下來的跟眼前看到的形態是不是一 樣，但很有可能每個人看到或拍到的形態各異。
精靈，Fairies 或 Faeries 在網上查看是有人專捉來養，感覺很可憐。精靈未必喜歡人類，羨慕人類有感情有感覺，接近，又或是幫助又或是作弄，是接觸人類的唯一途徑。精靈是沒有 emotion 的。
在泰國遇到的本以為是一間製皮工場，晚上是 一間酒吧Secret Bar，卻沒有留意原來這是一間不平凡的 店，進內的確感到有些神秘力量，但又很想參觀一下，於是店未開，但得到批准能進內！店員還帶領參觀，明明出邊很有太陽很熱的，內裡燈光柔和，比較暗，很有 Vintage 味道。樓梯是鐵造成的，樓上2樓很特別，一張很長的枱子放在中間，最尾的位置是一道旋轉著不能使用的樓梯（很美的）。這裡平常就是製作 Fairies 的地方，其實真的有皮製的袋子，很有味道!
像書架的木架子上掛著一幅一幅精靈的畫。但太暗了，不 知道為什麼看不到樣子，最厲害的是暗格位置，就好像機關一樣，扭一扭有一道門，不過店員說開不到燈便不進去參觀。晚上很熱鬧，有最好味最juicy的巨大漢堡包。
是的，在鎮墓獸的紙條上，有一張一張有關精靈的紙條， 店員講解說。神秘空間叫做 The Iron Fairies ，來自澳洲的藝術家及作家 Ashley Sutton。他的藝術品以鐵製的雕塑為名。
“I longed to escape the monotony, tedium and gloom,” he recounts. “So I created this fairy tale in my mind to help set my spirit free.”
In his created world, communities of little miners have lived underground, unnoticed, for hundreds of years, toiling away in the darkness, building their strange machines from the rare red ore of the Pilbara.
One day the miners started making fairies and placing them in the gardens above their labyrinthine tunnels. No one knows quite why. The fairies slumber in a state of suspended animation until they’re brought above ground, sprinkled with magic fairy dust, and touched by the first light of the morning sun. Only then are they set free to roam the world, making wishes come true.
If you bring home an iron fairy, you must awaken your new friend also, by following the instructions that arrive with your cast iron sculpture.
Each fairy has a name, the wings of a certain insect, and a poem that tells you what kind of fairy she is. “Chloe”, for instance, is the fairy of Love, and “Jess” is the fairy of Night and Owls. You’ll find that some of them have a rusty sort of look and some are more blue or green. Blue fairies are the naughty ones—so look out!
Eventually they will all develop a beautiful patina of natural rust, whether you give them a home indoors or out.
