Meet The 2025 featured Artisans
Valyrie Vanguard
My name is Bekah and I am the owner and artist of Valkyrie Vanguard. I am a self-taught headdress designer. I have been working and perfecting my craft for over ten years. I’m a solo artist so everything I sell in my booth is made by me.
I began my business making simple yet durable floral crowns back in 2012. I started vending small to midsize faires, festivals and comic cons until late 2021 when I quit my job to take my “side-business” full-time. Over the years my designs have greatly evolved into elaborate over-the-top fantasy headdresses. I took on creating other jewelry accessories to include a patron-favorite, “Chandel-ears,” my originally designed ear cuffs. They also have dramatic flare and pair well with my headdresses
