Goldfish Appreciation Day. Everybody glub.
So a little explanation of what Urban Enchantment is all about.
Urban Enchantment has grown from my desire to explore the magical in every day life. I never sought it, or decided to do it. It just seems to have grown organically from who I am. When I think about all the creative things that I do, they all have one theme, they are based in enchantment of some kind. I like to explore what you might call the land of the fay, but in a quirky, funny way. If something I do allows someone take a moment to reflect on the beauty of life, I have achieved my goal. And if at the same time I can make someone smile or laugh, even better.
Not only do I like to practice this strange vocation, when I inspire others who then join in, all the better. The Society for the Promotion of Urban Enchantment encourages all true believers to promote or create enchantment is all settings and on all possible occasions. Converts have done such things as built and installed faery houses in unsuspecting neighbors yards, adopted strange little clowns and taken them out to dinner, built faery hideaways in their yards, made faery dolls, faery houses, quest books, and charm bags. Even some young converts once concocted herbal infusions that could probably have done some serious damage if not discovered and destroyed.
My motto: Believe, Create, Enchant!
Tattoos of giant goldfish enchant me every morning.
