I dream of visiting the Fair Isles, but doubt if I will ever be able to...I should have done so when I was in my early twenties...but alas...hindsight was not a vision when I was twenty. We did have a very similar fair in a park in Southern California years ago...a park called 'Mile Square Park' where there were tents, and fabulous metal work artists who made magical rings, and wondrous masks, and where the Mythapoeic Society read 'The Hobbit' and The Lord of the Rings out loud, with it's second following in the late 1960's. The Hippie years, the Flower Children years...the free spirit years...where your heart could soar and be free...it's all a matter of attitude...because the feeling is still there...all we have to do is live the fairy tale. Thank you for sharing such fairy tale joyousness. We all need a good dose of fantasy and magic to keep us going toward that eternal Light...when some day...all will be bliss and there will be more to the tangible dream than we can ever imagine. <br />Thank you for a glimpse into that realm.<br />Good Fortune to you<br />Teresa in CaliforniaA Magical Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473478545205572098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-69802731577831921932011-07-15T23:26:07.273+01:002011-07-15T23:26:07.273+01:00Oh those masks are absolutely beautiful!

I meant to tell you that some of my students have read your dissertation on drolleries and such in preparation for their illuminated manuscript projects this year, and despite the fact that they don't usually read much, they report having enjoyed the whole thing.<br /><br />I'm going to tell my myth students about your site as well, since we'll be doing a mask workshop, and I'm sure they'll be inspired by your Tom's amazing work. I do confess, however, to wanting to keep you something of a secret--since you seem to have no lack of admirers.<br /><br />Have a great summer!Owlfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373358232893937182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-2784832454003464562011-06-23T16:27:24.968+01:002011-06-23T16:27:24.968+01:00thank you once again for a wonderful blog entry..f...thank you once again for a wonderful blog entry..felt l was there. have marked it on my calender and found it's website, so we can go next year.
