The Mud Faeries

These pics have been sitting on my hard drive waaay too long. I've known this couple for years, though I forgotten their real names. (At a renfest, we tend to only know character names.) At Scarborough Faire, they perform as mud faeries, sculpting various life forms - mermaids, pirates, legendary creatures, wizards, and so on.

Amazingly, they remain mute the entire time, as this particular flavor of faerie does not speak, and they communicate with with the patron of the faire totally with gestures, facial expressions, and a strange melange of chirps, trills, and other assorted noises. They work for tips, and the crowd mostly stands around quietly and watches them work for minutes on end, then tossing a bill or two in the jars.

Note to you folks: If you're going to take some pictures of their work you are a compleat chintzy Shylock of a moron dork if you don't give them some money!

Here are a few that I took this last season. I've some more of the season before that I will try and dig up and add later.

That gryphon was a fantastic work of art, my favorite work of dozen or so I saw them do last season. Here's another look at it...

Smokey Joe Robinson

This is Smokey Joe Robinson, aka:"The RelaxxiKatt." As you can see, he likes to really stretch out when he sleeps. Looks like a sweet kid, huh?

Smokey Joe Wakes up...


But I know he's really one of the Evile One's minions. When the flash going off started to wake him up, he forgot to maintain his cover, and gave me an Evile Glare...

But after a moment, he recalled himself, and went back to sleep.

Smokey Joe back asleep


But I'm not fooled, and feed him with a long spoon.

Demon Eyes


I remember those baleful eyes...

More Cookoff Girl Pics

In response to popular demand, to refute at least one regular reader who wondered if CG did in fact have two non crossed eyes, (and to keep the traffic up) here are a few more pics of her for your amusement.
