With perfect timing of ghosts ghoulies and dark imagination I have just received the most wonderful Halloween book gift, from the author Jasmine Becket-Griffith a long time artist friend whom I have greatly admired from the start of her breathtaking career in Gothic Art. Not a book for the lighthearted but for anyone who appreciates Art in all its forms, this book is a triumph for Contemporary Artists that exposes every facet, with every continent and artistic medium represented it is an unique vision of the Gothic asthetic of dark disturbing appeal and a sure fire winner for artists that deserve mainstream recognition.

“Thank you Jasmine, keep dancing in the Dark! Congratulations”

We always thought that Absinthe the banned green drink made famous by artists at the Moulin Rouge in Paris,which is now finding favor again worldwide was the tipple to see the Green Fairy. It seems however a new millennium fairy liquid is causing a stir of greater proportions ‘Slivovica’ a Wallachian plum brandy,
A court in the Czech city of Olomouc in a mountainous region in the south-east corner of Moravia is to deliver its verdict in one of the oddest legal disputes in the country’s history.

The court must decide whether Mr Polivka is the true “king” of the fairy-tale realm.

Lets hope the verdict is not blurred by the glasses we’ve just downed in a local pub in the mountainous region in the south-east corner of Moravia. Read the full story here

“Every child is a Fairy deserving an enchanted childhood, my picture shocks even me, yet this is reality and is happening now in the 21st century. Please take a moment to take in such horror and allow your conscience to stop this happening. A regular donation to Save the Children will help to ease the pain and suffering of children, the fairies of our world.”

The UN are meeting on 25 September 2008 to discuss the goals they set to tackle poverty. We want them to 'get on track' with their goal to cut child deaths by two-thirds by 2015. Progress on this goal has been slow – 10 million children still die every year, mostly from preventable causes. That's appalling.

We want you to join tens of thousands of people around the world who are demanding that the UN uses this meeting to 'get on track' to stop millions of child deaths. At the current rate the goal won't be met until 2045. That's an unacceptable 30 years late!

Add your voice by sending a message to the UK's Ambassador to the UN, urging him to make sure the September meeting results in concrete actions to cut child deaths, not more missed opportunities.

A recent visit to a breeding project at the Kakapo Recovery Programme by long time friend of Fairies World Carri (from Dark Angel) has highlighted the plight of this rare bird to us. Myrea is currently working on a painting entitled the Dodo’s Last Ball and news of the Kakapo has prompted her to add a few more endangered species to the painting. In addition to adding the kakapo to the painting Myrea last week added a Condor and a spider monkey and four delightful endangered eagles to look like judges.

Long time friend and supporter of Fairies World, Priscilla Hernandez, now has her songs available as mp3 downloads. So here at Fairies World we have created a Priscilla Hernandez mp3 playlist for you enjoyment.

BURBANK, Calif. –Disney Interactive Studios today announced Disney Fairies: Tinker Bell for Nintendo DS™ will be available nationwide this 2008 holiday season. For the first time on the handheld platform, fans of Disney Fairies and beloved Tinker Bell can explore the delightful world of Pixie Hollow and play as the popular Fairy herself.

Disney Fairies has become a phenomenon all around the world,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “Bringing the game to DS allows fans to play as Tinker Bell and take the Fairies world everywhere they go, while having fun learning about the importance of creativity, teamwork and responsibility.”

The game will let users play as Tinker Bell and interact with other NPC fairies through quests and games, but the handheld game is also a deeper extension of the Web-based virtual world. Users can collect accessories and outfits to customize Tinker Bell, create their own designs and patterns to dress in, and trade and gift items with other users as well.

The handheld game will integrate with Disney’s recently launched DGamer, a sort of meta-world tying all of its Nintendo DS titles together through avatars, communication, and Web-based interaction. It seems like DGamer will let users take their trading past the DS and onto the Web as well as communicating in a themed chat room.

Recently returned from the Ireland Show in USA to his studio in Dorset and the Gallery of Secrets, owned by Peter Stone Jewellery, the producer of magnificent sterling silver and gold faerie Jewellery and Courtney Davis, world famous Celtic artist Courtney Davis and author of over 50 books on the subject published over the last thirty years, is considered the greatest living authority on Celtic Art in modern times. He speaks enthusiastically about the ever increasing demand for his work, surprised at the prices some of his originals previously held in private collections are fetching now at auction, it is evident that the upsurge of interest by over 38 million Americans with Irish ancestry searching for their Celtic roots and the folklore that surrounds their origins of their families is pushing the demand for Courtney’s work as highly desirable and into important collections throughout the USA. ” I have so much to do and just not enough time ” is how Courtney summed it up , clearly a man whose original work is in greater demand than ever. I asked him about the new licensing and manufacturing deals that I had heard about with a major fashion house and airline but it seems for the moment he was not ready to divulge too much information. It seems we are going to see a lot more of Courtney’s work in the Celtic boom ahead.
