Lend me your ears...

I really did want to have a proper intro to my December series ready for the blog in a more timely manner, you know- before the 6th day of said month...

But see...something happened;

​Folks, I turned 40.

Supposedly, this means I am 'grown'. 
Or I should be by now anyways.


So what does any responsible grown woman do when she turns 40?  I packed my bags, loaded up the cats and headed to Disney with the husband- specifically EPCOT.  We LOVE Epcot!

Traveling with these two clowns ain't easy but we have to do it...plus its kinda nice having them around...oh, and no big deal but that is me with MICKEY MOUSE. We shared a hug and photo. I think we might be best friends now.

I knew that I wanted to do something 'Disney' inspired for this month's series, but I wasn't sure how to begin.  I completed a Disney series in March of 2015 and had so much fun with those images...so that was in the back of my mind.    I also try to have some fun with my final series each year and plan ahead for travel and all the holiday events when planning my materials and whatnot.  

I have really enjoyed getting back to the fashion illustrations, so I figured that was a good starting point.  And again, I have completed a Disney series before, so I actually looked to those images to get my start.  So far it seems like I am referring to those image, specifically the order of the images, and using that as my inspiration each day- designing a gown inspired by each Disney lady.  Someone on my FB art page commented 'Disney Couture' and I really love that idea.  So...don't expect these to be ready-to-wear fashions, they will probably be over the top!

As far as materials, my typical fashion illustration tools of choice (a pencil some pens, watercolors and my salt container) really travel well, so it's a good match for all the holiday hoopla.

That being said...here are my first six pieces of the series.  Please note that I have included the images from my first December series, as right now I am going in that same order;

That's it.  That's my fancy intro.  I turned 40, went to Epcot, and now I making Disney-themed fashion illustrations to close out 2017.  
​

Back to that whole turning 40 thang.

I wondered if I would feel different when I turned 40.  Nah, same me.  In some ways, based on my life and what I have been through...I kinda stopped 'growing up' way back. I am okay with that- it's what makes me...well, ME.  This whole daily art thing has become an extension of that sense of play.  Each month I play within the theme that I choose, with my materials, The work is whimsical, colorful, sometimes has a sense of humor...I am having fun.

That's where I am at.
