Ren Fair-ing - Part IV (Fairies)

Besides the medievally garbed, the pirates and the belly dancers, there always seems to be the inevitable contingent of winged-folk... (Most of which I had to photograph from behind - to get the best views of the winged-ness):

This elaborately appareled blue-fairy spent the bulk of the day making a trilling purring sound while handing people invisible fairy treasure and hoping for tips in return...??

OK - we now need the collective term for fairies - a swarm? flock? flight? glittering? dusting? - whatever it is, this was my favorite group of them - gingerly picking their barefoot way across the parking lot...

And these two little darlings - with matching dress, wings and hoodies! :-)

New to me this year were the morning-glory hats that many a little fairy was adorned with.

Of course there were the cortege of the darker, more goth variety...

...or the redder....more...redder? variety....

And yes, these would look totally smokin' on my dog!

Chocolate fairy to the rescue -

aka - the Laundry Faery - came racing to my aide after my last mournful entry. (She said to imagine her driving over here with her head hanging out of her window the entire way going "Woo-ooo-Woo-ooo.."). Thank you, O beneficent one!

Official deadline tomorrow. Just sent off the bulk of book #2. Still have 43 images left to paint however... 'Still argh...

A very brief introduction -

In honor of the Spiderwick Chronicles movie that is opening tomorrow, I thought I ought to draw your attention to a new, otherworldly blog, featuring Dr. Galubrious and his daughters (aka, my fairy nieces).

This is not really entirely fictional (just ask fairy niece #1), but it *is* entirely beautiful! I'm looking forward to the ongoing chronicling of their adventures!
