MarsCon 2011 has come and past and we had such a fantastic time; meeting new people, making new friends, helping with panels, and visiting party rooms at night - woohoo! Everyone was so kind, friendly and welcoming. We were treated so well by all of the conventions amazing volunteers, who were so helpful. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all of the wonderful dealers and volunteers.
Here are some pictures we took at the con...enjoy!

| This is Joe and I at our table. From left to right we have a box of prints, my Ferlin and His Paper Hat moc up book for display, a tiny stuffed animal fox (more on that later), business cards, magnets, Tastes Like Good books 1 and 2, Asha mini comic, and introducing "Nerd Journals" by Josh Murray. Behind us we have an extremely gorgeous dress by Rae Lunquist of Dreamsticher costume. And to the right you can see a super tiny part of Julie Bowman's merchandise of Mythical Creations. |

| This is a close up of my book and our magnets and business cards. My little fox is in there too. |

| This is my little fox I was so proud of the whole weekend. Julie Bowman of Mythical Creations made her, but the fox had no clothes! Julie was making some kimonos for her other creations and gave me the pattern and supplies to make one for my fox. So I went on, over the course of the weekend to make my fox a little kimono complete with black embroidered stars, a little obi belt, a pendant, and a pretty hair thingy. I thank you so much Julie for sharing your pretty supplies and creative wisdom! I had so much fun! My fox says domo, suimasen, arigato, namaste - and then she bows politely. |

| This is a closer uninterrupted view of the dress that was behind our table. It is a copy of the "breath" dress from the movie Ever After. It has lots of detail everywhere with many layers and shades of white gauzy fabrics and trims. Again it was created by Rae Lundquist of Dreamsticher Costumes. Amazingly pretty! |
On Saturday night there was a masquerade contest. We saw some of the people lining up in their costumes and took a few pictures, but then we had to go eat cause we were so hungry. Luckily we got back just in time to see the winning contestants, although we didn't get pictures. There was a group dress up as Wizard of Oz characters, steampunk gals and guys, the Harry Potter cast, the Ever After cast, fairies, and other fantasy and science fiction characters of all kinds. Here are a few more picts of some great costumes.

| Voldemort getting schooled by Sirius, Harry, and Hermione. Apparently Voldemort had just come out of a make up demo. |

| Very cool dragon armor. He is perusing the wares of Mythical creations. |
 |
| The two gentlemen in the center, brothers as it were, had great steampunk costumes complete with detailed accessories of all kinds. You can also see the cowardly lion and some fair ladies. Thank you for posing for the picture! |
 |
| This is a very nicely detailed tank device for catching something. Spirits perhaps? It had meters on the side.You can see technological advancement goggles hanging on his shoulder as well. Thank you again gentlemen. |
Hopefully you can see from these few pictures that there was so much fun to be had! The whole weekend was full of all sorts of events from panels on costuming and makeup, geek music performances, tea parties, an art show and auction, a dealers room, science room, a den of gaming, panels on artmaking and business, and of course nightly party's in themed rooms. Thank you again MarsCon 2011, until next year!
yay!
