Though I keep this entire blog as admin (yes, today it's me!  LOL).  I have never listed an articles about my own crafts, specially cos It was created for promoting things I would like to buy from others for performing on stage (I'm a singer-songwriter Priscilla Hernandez (guess what? fantasy music) and such. Still, since a couple of years ago I'm making some fantasy jewelry and necklaces, some wearing prints and reproductions of my own artworks as fantasy illustrator, other even with ORIGINAL! and thus one of a kind paintings like this one (and of course there are smaller reproductions available)

You can also contact me to comission a custom cameo necklace with a portrait of YOU or your beloved one as a fairy through my website yidneth.com or http://priscillaherandez.com
 

And also  there are some more affordable chokers, feather earrings, little bags, gloves and things I do quite randomly with pretty materials I find.  I make FAIRY/FANTASY music so all my pieces are inspired by fantasy themes and I conceive them as something I would wear on a fantasy event or concert. Thus I never keep a big stock of units of each and most are unique, but definitely all handcrafted and I can repeat a similar thing upon request if I have similar materials. So here we go with some examples of what you may find in my own store. Priscilla Hernandez store (where by the way you can also find my music and art).

Plumevine is a collection of enchanted Jewelry pieces designed by  Norwegian artist and crafter Lorianne Jänttim pieces designed with the most delicate intricacy as a worshio offering to magical creatures. Definitely magical. All the pieces are made by hand from resin clay which is sculpted meticulously and embellished with a wide variety of finds of mostly vintage origin. The process of painting is also multi-layered in order to achieve the most perfect finished result and meant for durability. Little treasures inspired by nature and the tangle of tree brances... certainly items to treasure. There are so many pieces (earrings, rings necklaces that you will crave and fall in love with...)

She has also an etsy store to see some "ready to go" listings

But also for collectors, one of the highlights of the collection and gallery are the different approaches the artist have made to replicate the Auryn, not only similar version than the one appearing in the movie but also her own interpretations of the very famous necklace described in Michael Ende´s "the Neverending Story". But remember that  if you're a human and you try to grant too many wishes with it, you might forget about

I met personally fellow writer and  illustrator Muriel Dal Bo at a festival, this green eyed sparkling beauty, with mischiveous yet cute expression appeared in a lovely imperial-cut gown so gorgeous that you couldn't help to stare at the dress. She told me she had made it herself, and I knew her works as illustrators but wondered then, oh my god, this woman should launch a line of clothing. Shortly after this became a reality and Sublime Style was born in 2009 with a first collection of romantic, fairy, and princess gowns... A touch of undeniable romanticism and dark vintage that will delight the dark souls but also those longing ladies that were meant to wear the elegant garments of previous centuries.  Later on they went on a "Burlesque" line

Costumes are made for real women, trying to enhance the curves of the woman figure. Inspired by Art Noveau, Prerraphaelite, Boticelli... sublime style brings back the concept of classical beauty.

I'm an avid reader of Jane Austen´s Novels, so can you imagine attending to a ball with this lovely regency  ivory lace gown? This one is just sooo perfect.

Muriel fuses genres and shows versatile examples of historical, victorian, burlesque, circus, even fantasy, Steampunk  and medieval attires. For fair princesses  or fallen angels, light or shades, but never decadent.

And not only costumes but also lovely accessories like gloves. I happen to have a pair of white ones myself and I cannot highlight enough how in love I am with them (will share a picture with them on very soon) but meanwhile you can see a picture of them, they belong to the "ethereal gothic complements collection and they're as ghostly as these:

Above: "Ethereal pure" white lace gloves, the ethereal collection is also very suitable for bridal fashion.

There are also coquette bags and chokers. Delicious like the following examples

Gothic burlesque Bag and Choker

Pieces have  limited stock and  are hand-made. We´re not dealing with cheap massive production but exquisite and dedicated crafting the high quality fabric, trims and beads.

And you just have to have  a look to the official website

If you want to see also some independent and custom designs you can visit the gallery  and  network with the designer at the official Sublime Style facebook page.

Also feel free to contact Muriel herself at murielfay@hotmail.com and require info about catallog, stock  and prices.

because it's... it's... SUBLIME!

We predict a wonderful future for the  clothing line, it has grown enormously in such a short time. Highly recommended.

 

Legend of the seeker tv series sadly only run for two seasons, but the beautiful costumes lasted long in our memory.

Above: shot of "El bosque animado" 2011 summer collection fairy tribal wear

El Bosque animado is a shop specialized in handcrafted  tribal faerie wear located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. We´ve covered this genre of fantasy clothing several times, with shops like "Senjo" or "Opal Moon designs" among other, and it's indeed a very popular one, but it surprised me that this time the shop (you can find them in their official Bosque animado Blog or also primarly based in facebook  ) is heading from my own country, Spain. And it has indeed some really lovely  pieces that will please not only tribal bellydancers but also modern urban dryads and faeries that want to add to their casual clothes a touch of magic. Mostly in green, brown and ivory matching earthy tones, the items from "El bosque animado" has a lovely tribal and vintage quality, both fantasy but wearable, and of course, all handcrafted and one of a kind pieces. You can commission similar ones but there are not two that are quite the same. There´s an email to contact the crafter if you want to ask about the prices

El bosque animado also have accessories like tiaras, crowns and dreads, and also arm and foot warmers.I'm in love with this gloves and matching foot covers in brown and ivory

Summer collection is heading to white and ivory fresh colors...  I have a crush for that laced in frong white vest...! Really ethereal

There are also lush green items for dryads :)

Overall, earthy, tribal with a lovely accent of fusion
