Holidaying visiting family and we are staying at my parents retirement pad- an old farmhouse. It’s lovely but a little middle of nowhere so not a lot to do. Finally got around to watching Panna a Netvor. Charming film.  I want to be back at my own scanner quickly though, taking photos kills half the gray shades.

sketchbook fluff… digital colours quickly while kids nap

I keep seeing a lot of fashion photos/artworks of girls with lots of roses on their heads.  Me like.

New scanner is here and working and it’s lovely and fluffy. mmm.

Lolita Belle.

My own dress sense is questionable at best but I love looking up and drawing beautiful/unusual/historical/all of the above outfits.  I’m not a lolita aficionado so I referenced from this although I made the bag bigger than the ones I’ve otherwise seen, Belle would need one that takes at least two to three books.

#firstworlddisneynerdproblems most definitely but after couple of months of waiting for the princess [merchandise and parks] redesigns to grow on me (and most of them have) I still don’t like Belle’s new hair.  It’s too messy and hair in your eyes gets in the way of reading books.  Old one was so classy…

Where’s Belle?

Last of the deviantArt random requests, this one was for FeatherEyed.  When I have lots of time after retirement in forty years I’ll do this idea as a full-on Where’s Waldo kind of page with Belle lost in the library but for now this was quite enough books to draw. :)

I’m feeling finally a little more human so got something done for a Christmas greeting.  Happy Holidays Tumblr folks! <3

“I understand I missed out on ten years but my brain is fried, do I really need to read all of these journals on foreign policies tonight?

Most of this is new to me too but we still have three more left we had planned for today.

…  I’d much rather just study you..

mhmm… likewise dear…

but first we finish this at least!”

Belle would definitely make sure Adam’s all up to date and prepared to rule his kingdom.
