"Picture Day!"

Well...today was busy.  But I did manage to take a ton of pictures for you!  Be prepared!  And yes, I used my webcam.  It was easier.

This is the dress I made for my faerie doll.  She only has two.  I'm a little stuck for ideas.  I like that her wings are made of lace!  Haha!  It's like a playful take on a Victorian dress.  Maybe a little ironic symbolism?  When I figure it out I'll let you know!  Haha! 
                                            This dress is pretty much her "real dress."  I used a gel pen to outline the places that I used glitter, and then poured it on and shook off the extra.  It's hard and annoying, but pretty! 

 Now you see her face close up.  In real life her cheeks are much pinker and she looks colorized.
 I wanted to show you some of my sketches.  Here is a guy named Daal.  He is asking Lissanne to marry him.  Yes, I turned his face away and put a bush to hide him.  The characters are owned by my friend who is writing a book, and Lissanne is a character she made for me.
                                          She's so pretty!!!
 Here is my Cinderella picture!  One of my faves!  I love her dress and hair.  Gel pen rose in her hair and vine stems.  Oil pastel color.
 And the shoes!  Tada!  I colored them with the sea foam color I used for the dress and outlined them in pink silver shadow gel pen!
 This set took almost a year.  I started with the brown-haired one and traced the red head from her pattern.  They are about 8 inches and so much fun!

Old time dresses.

See the white dress's collar?  Tiny beads.  With a toothpick and glue.  And that's not much for me, but it took ages.  I lost my tiny microphone.  They look like vintage club singers! 

Can't take credit for the mini-dress!  My awesome friend Erin drew it!  Out and about dresses.

No, they aren't wings.  It's a SCARF!!!  SHAWL!!!  THINGY!!!  The other one I love!  The lace and everything is so cute, and I love the rose!  But I didn't get my lines quite right.  Oh well...

Glitter, gel pens, embossing...these took ages!  But well worth the effort!

Pencil skirt vintage suits!  Love the hat!

My most recent.  Gel pen swirls took forever!  My sister says she would wear the short on to a prom!  Haha!  They turned out great!

Hope you enjoyed!
