Back from Faeriecon, meeting with Hannah Fury and other things!!

just took place in Philadelphia (USA), and we're back (this time safe, we took a taxi from the airport) I had fun in the balls though it's always risky to perform not with your actual band, it was my pleasure to share the stage with friends from Woodland and Trillian green to support me (the the theatre's ghost, Trocadero was really haunted). Faeriecon was a bittersweet experience as Brian Froud was ill and Alan Lee´s mother died :(, and Omnia had to cancel at last minute so I couldn't meet them either... Still in the middle of the frantic moments, I had so much happiness meeting with Kelly and Emilio, my lovely and sweet friends from woodland, and Robert, Stephanie, River, Storm, Kimmy, Katie, Susan Scroder, Jen Delyth, Jasmine, Wendy and Toby Froud and sooooooooo soooooooo many others that I can't stop this smile of my face of having been able to be with you. I know I missed a few people too...!!

 

If you attended and have pictures please send me a private message so i can give you an e-mail,  as most of you know I lost my camera last august, and i'm on the way to replace it, so I'll thank all the memories to be sent... We used our friend Emilio's one for some pics in the convention but we lack pics of our set.

Here is one of the pictures I've got... hope to post a bigger update... while I start to receive them.
ahh thanks god we  got a  laptop and could use some vst on stage!! yayy!! (thanks all of you).

I brought a few limited prints of  Susan's Schroder photography of me (ty!) so i'll make a contest for vip members the following days to give away a copy.

We premiered two new songs there "northern light" and "the long way"  (both songs included in my new album on the making) and also performed a little exerpt from "into the labyrinth"

Among the great things happening too, meeting my friend and also singer-songwriter Hannah Fury!!! She was lovely.

I also got a wonderful gift from Goblinroad (a cloak), my friend linda gave me a red dress (ty!!) and River a special glass cup with the yidneth logo carved in glass, and Hannah a  little tiny ghost in a bottle... among other things...! IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL AND I'll miss you!

Susan Schroder has portrayed me

My friend and fantasy photographer Susan Schroder gifted me yesterday an awesome photowork, she took the photo of me when I visited USA in faerieworlds, and now she's completed "the ghost and the fairy" (following the subtitle of Ancient Shadows and interpreting my music in it), judge yourselves, I thinks she's so talented and i'm so honoured, she'll be at the faeriecon booth and will share the profits of the poster with me to help me in all the misfortunate robbery thing. I may have also a few copies there for sale.
and now Susan's work :) featuring me :) thank you!!!



To add more Susan forwarded some of the session pictures to a friend of hers, Tommy from Imythyou.com and another approachment called "le fade papallona" was made. Both can be seen in my fan art gallery (among also two sketches) that illustrator "Hawk" made of me and Kelly in Farieworlds.
If you've made a photo manipulation, drawing or want to make one please always feel free to submit it to me ;-) so I can update it.

 UPDATED FAN ART GALLERY

Also I remind to the people who has purchased the album that you can send a picture with the album in your hands so I can put it in the fans gallery here (don't be shy)

UPDATED FANS GALLERY

We were robbed :(. Nos han robado

Below the story of it all...

This is a bittersweet story, it happened last August when we came back from our USA gig :(, I've had the greatest of times in Oregon, and in Faerieworlds, it was awesome, the people, my band supporters, Woodland, the Frouds, Robert, the Greenman, the storyteller ... I miss them so much already...)
when flying back it was exhausting, we had to go from portland to chicago, then to zurich and then to Spain. We were exhausted and willing to get home...
but THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just as soon as we stepped from the airbus airport two big guys attacked us robbed all our studio equipment and personal belongings, they poured a substance over us and they wanted the black case in which we carried all important things, so we've been stolen all the cash we made in faerieworlds, our laptop, our mobile studio and soundcard, our photocamera, our hardrive with our data, our videocamera, all our memories, our flat and car keys, our passports, and almost everything of value I had with me, thanks god they didn't took my carry on so my original paintings are safe. I'm pretty sure we were spotted and they did know which case they wanted.
We even had to pay over 800 dollars just to break into our flat and change the lock :( we're absolutely uncovered and we had no insurance and we're in need of replacing some of the working staff to prepare our concert in the faeriecon... not to add I am hideously scared and unsafe and I'm considering even to leave Barcelona now ...
we were not insured so now it seems to be lost, at least we're not hurt

as much as I loved this town of Barcelona, I feel it's maybe too big to feel safe, and my health is rather precarious to cope with this kind of scares :(
Police told us though we've been lucky because the same band attacked last sunday with violence another couple in same circumstances, but they offered resistance and  were not so lucky.
It was not our idea, but we're very grateful to faerieworlds staff for opening a rising funds page for us here
Thanks Woodland, Brian and Wendy Froud and Robert Goud from Imaginosis for starting it, deep from my heart! they're even giving gift packages to donors (thank you!!)
If you wish to make a contribution to help right now we opened again the donations for the upcoming release "The underliving" though due to this it's been put on hold still will be considered as donations for the cd and we shall try to go on working replacing our studio through the old donation page

Thank you to all the blogs, faerieworlds, faerie magazine, fae magazine and all the media that have helped me to undergo this.

and I need to center a little bit to cope with what i've lost, my memories, data, after all the economical part was important and something i can't hardly get covered when i was trying to save for making my next release which was actually delayed... for me the priority was to save for the release and now I go back to scratch!

anyway they can steal the good memory I carry with me from my new family there
and I'm deeply grateful to all the people who is sending me pictures and videos of the event now that we're lost ours.
i'm now having a headache also changing my passwords and trying to keep safe all the info i had in there...
but i had no backing of all the things, as they took the computer and also the external hardrive...
:(

i'm just planning in a big big black cloud but i know it will drift away, and I have all my friends and i feel wrapped by them

I carry though the warm heart of having met Mike burn again (thank you my friend for the hug and encouragement) and the wonderful time I had there, it was a BLAST!!

I have created a blog called "YOUR FANTASY COSTUME": tips and tricks for the perfect fantasy gowns

My "Cinderella" complex...! :) Now seriously you know I'm a lover of fantasy wear :) and thus I spend quite a lot of time looking for beautiful things I'd like to wear on my shows :), so my favourite folder was all full and decided to put everything in order in a blog that I promise to update very often :) so bookmark it :) and well, it's purpose is to build a guide for cosplayers, and lovers of fantasy fashion overall!

A portrait of me made by illustrator Chris down

En este caso quería enseñaros no un dibujo mío (ya sabéis que soy ilustradora) sino una ilustración que un compañero de profesión ha hecho inspirándose en una de mis fotos. Se llama Chris down y está especializado en patrones celtas y dibujo de fantasía.
You can visit Chris down website:
http://www.chrisdown.co.uk
Juzgad vosotros, aquí os muestro una foto y el dibujo a partir de ella



Creo que Chris me ha mejorado un poquito ;-), para me es todo un honor haber hecho de modelo para uno de sus dibujos.

Fairies, Fairies to the street!

Well this is a pic I've done for a feature in the new uk magazine :) might be used or not but it's been fun, original pic was taken by David Riche, then It was redone by photoshop adding wings and background and fancy things on it, took me a while painting and put it right
here we go...!!!


More on fairies...??? oh yes!!!
a month ago David, Myrea Pettit (fantasy illustrator) and her daughters came to get married in Spain, in fact she ordered a special "Ancient Shadows" wings made for the wedding and I felt so honoured so see her wearing the wings I designed in her happiest day... but then we had a crazy idea... why don't dressing ourselves like fairies and step into the street in a normal day? crazy but funny we did, and we went (aside from the common placses, fast food places, taxies and so forth) to a pub called the "fairy forest" that is boc de fades :) in which this pic was taken
me (blonde, purple wings), Myrea (white queen) and Charleigh (green and white)

can you imagine the reaction of people seeing fairies in the street, we really felt that way
look behind this link, it's funny!

Some promotional pics of me and Maite Itoiz

This is a set of pictures of me and my friend Maite Itoiz, as we're both singers and in similar projects (mine is Ancient Shadows , hers is Tales from the secret forest along with her husband John-Kelly (from the well known band The Kelly family)) we shared the love for fairies and crepuscular fantasies. Maite has shared stage with me making background vocals (though she's far more skilled than I LOL but also a great friend to help me) and being in this magical place Zugarramuri is, well known for being related with witchcraft a few centuries ago, we pursued sort of prerraphaelite looking :). So we're using them commonly :) for both our projects, hope you like this little story to know more about Maite Itoiz (and his husband John Kelly) from Tales from the secret forest please visit their myspace website http://myspace.com/johnkellymaiteitoiz

so here we go me alone, as a lost princess not being aware I was about to find her I got lost in the lane, the place felt certainly haunted, I sat lost summoning ghosts of my imagination





She covered me with veils and all get blurred




Let me look back to life once more angel of death!
