What a strange January it’s been. We always hope that the
New Year will bring new beginnings, hope, creative energy and a renewed sense
of purpose. Well - this hasn't been the
case for us and from what I've learned from friends and
people I've been having conversations with, it hasn't been
the case for many of them either. Strange full moon? Weird planet alignments?
Hibernating faeries? I don’t know. But I’m hoping that now we have moved in to
February, things will begin to improve a bit.
There are so many exciting things on the horizon this year,
I hardly know where to begin. There are lots of projects in the pipeline (or
standing in front of the pipeline, waiting to go in) and wonderful
opportunities for creative collaborations. As I write this, I realize that
there aren't many things solid enough to talk about yet – so you’ll just have
to wait (as we are doing). But - if you
have any spare fingers you could keep them crossed for us!
I CAN tell you that we will be guests again at the AvalonFaery Fayre and Ball in Glastonbury on March 14th (and part of the
15th). And we will also be guests at ELFIA – the fantastic fantasy
event in the Netherlands on April 25/26. I’ll give you more details as we get
closer to the date.
I’m also hoping to co-teach a workshop with Toby, in
Portland at a fantastic new gallery space, over the Easter weekend – that’s
April 3-5. But - we’re only now working out
the details. I'll post on our Realm of Froud Facebook page when we have all the details worked out.
As I promised in December, I’ve made a few more small faery
companions for Etsy. We’ll put them up on the site tomorrow but I wanted to
tell everyone first and give you a chance to see them here.
Well - back to
work - and here’s hoping that the second
month of the New Year and Imbolc bring us all bright, new beginnings and
a creative spark!
