Faerie Con 2012



Yearly at Hunt Valley in Maryland, the faeries come out one last time before winter. A convention day of rich beauty and frivolity while fairies shop and vendors clink their golden coins. Faerie art, medieval art, and the art of Steampunk - Victorian steam age and modern fantasy technology blending in with the fantasy of faerie worlds. What a fantastic event - good faeries, bad faeries, wizards, goblins, trolls, forest and woods people, Victorians and Elizabethans, steampunks and goths, and just plain beautiful people, fashion, trinkets, music, and live bands made for a wondrous day.

Here are a few photos from the day 1 convention and some from the evening's Good Faeries Ball. The Good Faeries Ball was the Saturday evening event at Faeriecon when all the good faeries came out to play and frolic and dance. Music of the evening was by THE MOON & THE NIGHTSPIRIT, with an opening set from TREGUENDA. Some of the faeries hung outside and cast spells on each other. Others watched and listened to the bands while others danced to the spirit of the music. I hope some of these images help convince you that the worlds of mythical creatures sometimes come to life in a big and beautiful way to share their world with us. Believe.

FaerieCon 2010 - Day 2

A convention day of rich beauty and frivolity while fairies shop and vendors clink their golden coins. And the art of Steampunk - Victorian steam age and modern fantasy technology blending in with the fantasy of faerie worlds.

What a fantastic event - good faeries, bad faeries, wizards, goblins, trolls, forest and woods people, Victorian and Elizabethans, steampunks and goths, just plain beautiful people, fashion, trinkets, music, and live bands made for a wondrous day. Here are a few photos from the day 2 convention and some from the evening's Bad Faeries Ball.

The Bad Faeries Ball was the Saturday evening event at Faeriecon when all the bad faeries came out to play and frolic and dance. Music of the evening was by Cecile Corbel from Brittany and her musicians and the band Faun from Germany. Some of the faeries hung outside and cast spells on each other. Others watched and listened to the bands while others danced to the spirit of the music.

I hope some of these images help convince you that the worlds of mythical creatures sometimes come to life in a big and beautiful way to share their world with us. Believe.
