Jen Parrish Relics: crowns for the queen

crmedievalr

Parrish Relics specializes in symbolic and spiritual jewelry created with the elements of resilient clay, stained glass, semi-precious stones, scented resins, and glass vessels, finished with the handpainted patinas of antiqued silver or gold finish for a romantic, aged presence. Jen Parrish Online store has been working since 1996, sending original designs around the world and has been featured in some tv and film works. Most of it is custom made to order within 6 to 8 weeks or you can surf in what is already available in catalog, or meet the artist self in the upcoming scheduled events of the company. Either way, it is really worth a look. It has circlets, crowns (that actually look out of a fairytale book), earrings and all sorts of unique items that will delight you.

Faeriecon will be celebrating in Baltimore (USA East coast) next 6-8th of November. Array yourself in your most beautiful faerie finery, don your wings, gather your friends and family and cross the threshold! You will find the largest gathering of faerie artists and authors in the world who look forward to meeting you, amazing, magical apparel, beautiful jewelry, mysterious masks, handmade crafts, fashion shows, performers, musicians, storytellers, exhibitions, panel and workshops.

And at night, the gates of Faerie open once more at the Good Faerie and Bad Faerie Masquerade Balls, acclaimed the last two years as the astounding highlight of FaerieCon. This year featured performing bands are:

Look deep into your heart: are you a Good Faerie or are you a Bad Faerie? Make your choice, create your costume, and dance the night away in the Magical Realm.

Pixiepixie: more fairy urban wear

Pixie Pixie is a store specialized in urban pixie and elf-inspired faery wear. Shown in its great majority in  brown, greens and blacks and other colors that mimic the forest. Hooded coats, dresses, skirts (rather lovely), arm warmers and a lovely soft and comfortable with a slight tribal look. It includes also some accesories like rings and other little treasures. Pixie Pixie offers clothes to complete an elf or other forest dwellers but also to add an edgy look to your daily casual wear.

I particularly liked this green arm warmers (because they  seem to have a leave pattern)  and the fairy pouch, aren’t they pretty? They look so soft and  comfortable too (I love them in black too)

Mythical masks is a website that features a large collection of handmade  leather masks inspired in fantasy perfect for masquerade balls, ren faires and fantasy festivals. Masks come in different categories and collections from birds (raven, owls, peacock and more), animals, dragons (western or oriental) to elementals,  mermaid and ocean inspired, green men and fairy inspired masks.  If not enough it includes also  the possibility of making a custom order following your specifications. I particularly  love the butterfly and moths ones as they show a great delicacy when trying to mimic certain species painting the color patterns of the wings as in these:
