We are off to Faerieworlds!!

These photos are from last years event
Faerieworlds 2008
Held in beautiful Eugene, Oregon.
This is Jesse, Holly and her best friend, Miss H. along with one of our
MOST FAVORITE artists, Brian Froud!!
He was the artist who did the characters in the movie
"Labyrinth"
Which starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.
He also has many wonderful fantasy art books out about faeries, goblins, etc.. He did the very amusing "Lady Cottington's" smashed faerie books.
He signed Holly's book and even drew her a little picture which is one of her most beloved things!

Me and my girlie....We had messed with our hair color using bleach
and misc. temperary color etc....
We will NOT be doing that this year!!

Eating on cushions, on the floor in the dining tent


More food...Jesse is 14 and has to eat every 20 minutes to keep up his strength!

2009 Faerieworlds event in Eugene, Oregon

Another shot of Brian Froud with the kids.
We are so excited because we signed up
to take an all day faerie sculpting class
from Brian, his wife Wendy and their son, Toby.
Toby was actually the baby "Toby" in the
"Labyrinth" movie!!
Wendy is also an artist, a fact we were not really aware of last year when we met Brian and saw Wendy there. She is a totally amazing artist and was a major creator of the "Star War's" character, Yoda!!
The class is for only 15 people and Holly, Miss H and I are 3 of them!
Learn more about the class by clicking here~


Jesse makes a good elf, don't you think??

This is Toby Froud.
As you can imagine, he is an artist too.
He also has many major achievements to his name.
You can see LOTS more about the Frouds here at their
website~ "World of Froud"
His costume here is a faun. It looks so cool in person.
The Frouds make their home in Devon, England.


If you can make it to Eugene, Oregon this coming weekend, July 31st. ~ August 2nd, It is just a great time in a very artsy, creative environment.
Lots of music, food, booths, dancing, workshops etc...
It is worth going just to see all the costumes folks come up with!!
I will take LOTS of pictures and will share this years event with you next week
I will do my Pink Saturday post ahead so it will be on schedule.
We are so ready for a getaway....See ya next week!!

How exciting I have never heard of this before? It looks like a lot of fun. I do remember the movie when my daughter was in her pre teens she loved it & we watched it many times. She is almost 29 that's been a long time ago!

Enjoyed the read,

Linda

Hi LillySue
What a bunch of fun.I loved that movie, the Labyrinth...mostly because I adore David Bowie.Your daughter looks like a fairy,very pretty.
I must say there girl, I do like the streaked blond look,(I may be a little partial)your red is very pretty as well.
