[Dreamers Paint] Disney inspired

After so many months I final was able to finch some art that I had hope to had done for Christmas. 

I am just missing Kida as the line art didn't come out well I am re-doing her. The outfits are inspired by their Disney counter parts. They where inspired from different concepts so what ever I really wanted to dress the girls. Enjoy. Lager views are slowly being loaded on deviant art. I am considering making them into trading cards and on the back have more detailed sketch of the outfit they are wearing but that depends on the interest of others wants prints. 

[42 cookies] a pause

So I am already a day late on my 'Thursday' blog day but I was out of town last week and this week had family in town. I have several goodies and fun stuff to blog about, recent magazines, pretty new shoes, a fun photo shoot and still need to scan my Disney art. I want to. Give attention to all these things. Also might make a donation t.i.p.  jar because funds are scares for me to counting my fashion blog. No one is made of money and I don't like it myself. More into trades of skills. But let hope I can make something for etsy and that can help keep this blog going. I hope everyone finds some joy in the up coming weekend. I should have a new blog post on Monday.

As the weekenders say,

Later days.

[Frills and Grace] Springs Dreams

Today's Topic's : New make-up and wig, Cute Lolita Articals and summer dress favorite. Also, I got a iPod touch and now on twitter, instgram and snapeee. I will do app review at some other time.

First, new wig and make-up.

My new pony tail and bang clip. I original just got the pony tail hopping but realized my own hair color was to dark so quickly ordered the bangs. I use my own bangs to give it more volume. The bangs clip in great but the pony tail it a bit tricky if you don't know what you are going. It said it was a clip but in my mind, its not. Its has two combs and a draw string. I braid my own hair and place it in a bun then I place the hair combs into the buns. So now I have a lovely bun and bangs. I normal just have very fine hair so this is nice and I like the look it gives. Reminds me of a character I've drawn for years.

Second, the two artical reads of the week that I'm enjoying.
    1. Tokyo's Rebel's Trip to Baby the Stars shine Bright Store. Click Here
         These two girls, so cute. I ADORE Midori Fukasawa dress.
    2. Harajuku Lolita Experience Tokyo Fashion
         Got Tokyofashion app on my ipod and its awesome because its up-to-date. I enjoy street snaps. Its  more of the real fashion.

Three, its summer lolita fashion is in stores. So here a few of my top favorite dresses that if I wasn't unemployed, I'd try to get. 

1. Victorian Maiden - Rococo Bouquet Sailor Ribbon Dress
2. Innocent World - Mary Bell Onepiece (reminds me of Mable from the Pirate Movie)
3. Alice and the Pirates - Love air mail appliquéd junper skirt (sadly sold out)
4. Baby the Stars shine bright - Juicy Baby love Love berries

Day early as tomorrow I'm on the road. Watch my twitter for road trip updates, https://twitter.com/KatieHobbit

[Dreamers Paint] Disney Inspired

Well, I had hoped that I would have had these done and scan but they take time and I want it done right. Also, my scanner just died. ;_; It was old, it didn't surprise me but I don't have a budget for a new one for some time. A friend is going to let me use her's but I want to jungle my time that way. So here is a photo of what I'm working on.

There are more characters. Still have several more to color. Later.

Sorry for no wig post. Realized I didn't have a wig head and I want one so to display the wigs nicely.

[Frills and Grace] Music to Work By

Although this is music, this is heavily influenced by the Frilland Grace style.

 A few weeks back a video popped up on my YouTube subscription that got my interest.

More on the shot: Kawaii Girl - Classic Music Shoot

First, I love these models. Second, classical piano music, I dig that. Wait, Studio Ghibli and Disney melodies? Yes please. Wait, how am I to get the CD? First I found the face book page. KawaiiClassic Fanpage . It was nice to get information but it was looking like to import to the USA the CD, it be around $25. ;_; I did get wind of it being on itunes.Score...wait, Japanese itunes only works with Japanese payments. Then the greatest thing, it went to the US itunes store. SCORE! iTunes -Kawaii Classic Cute 

This is perfect timing as I am working on a set of drawing of Disney girl designs. Also, it was only $10, perfectly priced for classical music. I hope to get the gothic down the line but I don't have the budget right now. It doesn't have words so not distracting and the its just lovely. Note: I find it cute that is recommends the Piano Guy's CD on the itunes store when I bought that. I like them too.

Next week:

Also should be posting some of the art I am working on,

there is a preview on my FaceBook fanpage.

[Frills and Grace] Snow Queen Tea

Note: Frills and Grace refance to the fashion called Lolita. You want more inforamtion on Lolita check out this cool blog, http://fyeahlolita.blogspot.com/ .

Well I don't have anything new -at the moment- but I will talk about the past. In October of last year I bought myself a Baby Shine So Bright, Snow Queen dress. I normally go that brand but they have one or two dresses that I like. Mostly I love the Snow Queen story. A brother of mind read it to me when I was young and I  loved all the stories my brother read to me. He also read the orignal Little Mermaid to me before the movie by Disney came out. Lets say I was a little disapointed in the movie. It was a great movie but it wasn't really the little mermaid. So I am glad disney changed the title of their snow queen. Ok, back to fashion. I ordered right after the time needed to but Tokyo Rebal, http://www.tokyorebel.com/, where able to get the dress I wanted. Then you get the wait.

Come two days before a Steampunk Tea party my dress came. I was supost to be the door mouse but I couldn't say no to wearing it to the party.

 

Yes, I'm on of those luck girls where the dresses are a little big on me. But I do like it and someday soon I'll be able to make better matching accessories.Will say, I LOVE this dress. The snow is silver thread. I can't wait to figure out another time to wear this dress and get some more photos. Lucky was I to find some cute kids shoes that fit and I think match. At least I have something to wear when the Snow Queen movie, Frozen, come out.

Planning Stages

For the past few weeks I have been working and planning my spring fashion wants. With spring I realized I need to toss and replace a lot of my make-up. I'd rather be safe then sorry. I can't afford to be sick, so its best to replace make-up. Do to having a tight budget I can't go to Sephora a lot and get the prime make-up I want. But I have at least a good lip gloss, blush and primer. Eye make-up I get target and stick with maybelline or revlon. Target also has a brand called Pixie, and I really enjoy there eye pencils. Dark and bold like liquid but easy to place on as its a pencil. I really like a light tone of make-up on so don't place much on and stick to "light" weight make-up. I do wear false lashes for photo shoots. I have a nice lenght of lashes but they aren't very thick so helps to wear fake ones.

It amazing all the things that go into fashion photos. I give the Japanese snap models loads of admiration because most of them do everything themselves, choose there cloths, make-up and all around look. How I do things, I do all that and make my own outfits. I'm crazy, yes, that what you get for being an artist.
