Spaaace Pixie

At Greenbelt Green Man Festival , I, Spaaace Pixie , will be there both days, assisting with crafts! One project I have is a Tape-n-Twist tree 🌳 (but with with green stripes of course), as sort-of pictured below.

And we will also be making/planting some Fairy Gardens to take! Some teacups or little clay planters may need some decoration; then add some dirt, and finally a plant, seedling, or seed, depending on your patience!

This link, of bigger pots, may give some design ideas!

(Or ideas y'all can do at home, with time for layering primer coats and background colors)

Dictionaria will be sharing secrets of magic wands, but I don't know how those are made yet. seeeeecret!

Next few places to find me, with my Star Crown and Asteria Wings as in Profile pic (from Foxglove Lane )

Sunday, May 3, May Day Faerie Festival at the Fairy Embassy in the morning, probably wearing a pink starry dress (Bloomchic-- it has pockets!)

Sat and Sun(?), May 9-10, Greenbelt Green Man Festival , craft area, or FaeryCon propaganda. Wearing green dresses, of course.

Sunday, May 17, Bringing in the May , crafting tent early afternoon, outfit undecided.

(And just before all that, Mayday itself, I'm getting an Orion-as-a-fae tattoo by CharleyFountains.com , guesting at Black Lotus in Hanover, MD. ) Alas, it may be hidden in its too-new-for-sunscreen era.

at Mythicon: Mid-Winter Gathering of the Fae , on Saturday
I'm hosting a "Semi-Social Sit & Knit Or Other Stuff!"

Part of the Other Stuff is a yarn swap! If you have weird snippets from a completed project or boring balls from a bigger thing that never got underway, someone else may want them! Bring Yarn! Take Yarn!

(Other Stuff, besides crochet or other yarn arts, could be cross-stitch, coloring, or just absorbing our chill, semi-social vibes.)

Wizard of Oz (apparently blending many versions) vs PT Barnum

Again, Fae events tend to have RECOMMENDED reading, not required. And if you want to debate me Friday the 13th at Mythicon: Mid-Winter Gathering of the Fae about if the "Wizard" is a good man/bad wizard or the reverse, you probably want to revisit the book (not movie) form of L. Frank Baum's _The Wonderful Wizard of Oz._

Your library's LIBBY app possibly has it, or when the snow is clear, most physical libraries still have at least reprints of this 1900 classic!

Here's a text-only link:

I will post detailed audiobook version reviews over the next few weeks, but in general, this is my favorite librivox one: Phil Chenevert 's:
https://librivox.org/the-wonderful-wizard-of-oz-solo-version-2-by-l-frank-baum/

You can also search for it by title in your podcast app, looking for "(version 2)" at the end.

(Note, via Libby I listened to the Tara Sands narrated version, released 2013 by Dreamscape Media. Most was good, but I was not fond of her voices for the Scarecrow and the Lion.)

link to just the images, as seen below (very cool to accompany an audiobook version): https://archive.org/details/thewonderfulwiza43936gut

Also, these images may remind you you're less familiar with thebbook than you thought: overwriting it with any of the 1939 movie, Wicked variants, or other retellings!

I know I have often said an advantage of Fae Events over SFF ones is that there's no *required* reading/viewing. However, the ever-expanding Mythicon: Mid-Winter Gathering of the Fae is having a few panels with some RECOMMENDED reading. Saturday, Cat le Fey , our co-host, is discussing Antoine de Saint Exupéry's _The Little Prince._

I recommend a book version (or reasonable facsimile as linked below), because the illustrations are part of the story, as shown in the screenshot. It's very short. (I am hosting the sit-n-knit at the same time as this panel, alas. )
