Artist, creator Dean Griff grew up on a farm.
He not only tended the farm animals but took
long walks in the woods observing the wild
animals.
This became the basis for his
drawings which have become the little
woodland friends of Charming Tails.
The Charming Tails range of figurines was created by artist Dean Griff. Dean Griff's artwork and designs of woodland animals (especially mice) are sculpted into extremely cute figurines. The Charming Tails come as single figurines, hanging ornaments, waterglobes and more. Their popularity is growing and early pieces are already fetching higher prices on the secondary market. Dean Griff is pictured right at a signing event.
The first figurines appeared in 1993, initially under the name Woodland Collection, and produced by Silvestri.
They were renamed Charming Tails the following year and the production moved to Silvestri's parent company at the time, Fitz and Floyd. A number of collections have been produced including the Squashville Village, a range of lighted houses where the characters of Charming Tails reside.
