El Bosque animado: Tribal Faerie Wear from Spain

Read article

Above: shot of "El bosque animado" 2011 summer collection fairy tribal wear El Bosque animado is a shop specialized in handcrafted  tribal faerie wear located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. We´ve covered this genre of fantasy clothing several times, with shops like "Senjo" or "Opal Moon designs" among other, and it's indeed a very popular one, but it surprised me that this time the shop (you can find them in their official Bosque animado Blog or also primarly based in facebook  ) is heading from my own country, Spain. And it has indeed some really lovely  pieces that will please not only tribal bellydancers but also modern urban dryads and faeries that want to add to their casual clothes a touch of magic. Mostly in green, brown and ivory matching earthy tones, the items from "El bosque animado" has a lovely tribal and vintage quality, both fantasy but wearable, and of course, all handcrafted and one of a kind pieces. You can commission similar ones but there are not two that are quite the same. There´s an email to contact the crafter if you want to ask about the prices

Learning to sew yourself yes, yes!!! make your own fantasy costume! Plan fantasy parties!

Read article

Well, you may all know that I like fantasy costumes... in fact I keep a blog about fantasy costumes called YOUR FANTASY COSTUME :) I created a while back to bookmark all the fancy things I like (or would long or crave to buy for my performances hahah). Anyway, as I'm an illustrator I like to draw and design garments... the problem was that despite making some crafts like crowns and some easy customizations I really never had any skill for sewing... yes... not even a button or fixing a sock!!  But last month my friend and designer Alassie (from El Costurero Real that we previously covered in your fantasy costume article "El Costurero Real: King Arthur´s legends") encouraged me and a couple of friends to make a garment for ourselves to attend to her faerie birthday party and for a couple of weeks, all girls gathered on a weekly workshop :) to learn to make our own garment for the party... So it was FUN and we were busy bees and it was so lovely to see that we were creating our own dresses... I felt very accomplished and I know it´s my first and maybe not so perfect (almost hand-made too) but I had never done anything before so I was really proud.
