Okay, here's the newest WIP! I'm really sorry for the delay on this, it's been two months since I last posted about it and things have just been a little hectic. You saw all those seamstress projects I posted? Well, take those, on top of an income tax course (I passed and have a job interview next month!), on top of Fallout 4 deciding to be released riiiiiight when I needed to focus on the holidays the most. " title="rofl" /> Basically, no work has been really sincerely done for a while for pure art outside my seamstress apprenticeship.

So, again, I'm really sorry for those of you on my preorder list waiting to get these wonderful princesses. " title="Heart" /> I really super duper appreciate your patience, and I hope you like the progress!

These princesses are designed and graciously allowed to be converted by Hannah-Alexander. This is a Work In Progress and does not reflect the final product. The next stage is color refinement and pattern-readability. While these patterns are hand drawn digitally, with a mouse, line by line, X by X, they are entirely based upon Hannah's original artwork.

Pre-Orders are being taken: you don't need to give me any money up front, it is simply to reserve your copy. I write your name down in a slot and when they're ready you'll get a personalized Etsy Listing. Solo princesses are $20, the set of three is $55. Just tell me you want to be written down. www.etsy.com/shop/pinkythepink

Currently:
All are approximately 24 inches tall on 18 count.
Mulan: 63 colors, 9 hours 16 minutes
Tinkerbell: 63 colors, 13 hours 37 minutes
Esmeralda: 62 colors, 12 hours 3 minutes

They now have the most basic color-placement refinement, you can see the difference mostly between the "before" shot and the second shot (check especially around the backstitching lines). They also gained beads and other specialties. Esmeralda really needs more refinement on her skin tone... I'm still not happy with it. There's going to be a lot more blending before the patterns are done on all areas of all princesses.

Esmeralda will be using sequins on her skirt which will come in packs sold in my shop for $2.50 (USD), mailed to you in a regular mail envelope. Many of you are overseas but don't worry - unless your price is bumped by the VAT you shouldn't see any difference in that price. The sequins only come in packs of 200 and since you only need less than 25 for the whole pattern I decided this was the best way to do it. Of course, the packs are sold separately from the pattern, and a few extras will be included in case you lose one. There will be enough for 100 Esmeraldas (50 singles, 50 sets). I'm going to try and do a sample section of her skirt with sequins to make sure it'll work out the way I want, otherrrrrwise it'll just be regular metallic stitching instead (really not as fancy as I prefer).

Pattern will be Limited Edition to be consistent with the first set and future reissues of the pattern will be at Hannah's discretion.
