Glamorous Illustrations

I was asked a little while ago to do some commission work for my sister in law. My brother and her recently just bought a home here in sunny California. Now as they get settled in she has been decorating the house. Knowing that I love to illustrate fashion she asked if I could do four illustrations for her. She wanted to put them in her dinning room which is connected to the family/ front room.

So, I thought to myself hmmmm what to do? At first she wanted my illustrations from my portfolio but I kind of need those haha. So, I told her I would create new fashion illustrations for her. She was more than excited for that idea. Lucky for me she trusted me and gave me the freedom I wanted to do whatever I wanted. Kind of dangerous I know! One of the toughest parts of starting a new project is coming up with the idea. I always find everything after that a piece of cake. As I thought about this new commissioned project I thought about what theme and what kind of story I wanted to to tell. I finally decided I wanted these fashion illustrations to be glamorous and with a strong sense of femininity. Usually how all women want to feel and look (glamorous). Then I decided I wanted to stick with deep jewel tones because I wanted confident glamorous women. Any woman that is going for glamorous lets face it is in reality a very confidant and comfortable in her skin type of woman.

This project was a little different than my previous too. I played with glitter and rhinestones in combination with my usual illustration media’s of copic and primsa pencils. And let me just say I loved using mixed media.  So here is how the illustrations turned out. I’ll post a picture of them framed and on the wall when they are done with both. I hope you like them and thanks for stopping by!

Glamorous Wedding Accessories For Brides That Are Swoon Worthy

Diamonds are a girls best friend right ? Well are you ready to be in awe of some beautiful jewelry ?  Knowing that every girl loves jewelry and especially the kind that sparkles including me! I wanted to search and share with you some of my favorite pieces that are sure to make any girl feel glamorous. So, here are some of my picks for bridal jewelry that is just perfect for any girls wedding day,  for any special occasion, or just because. I have also put together and styled a couple of necklaces and earrings that go well together.

Remember when choosing jewelry you always want to decide which piece is going to be your focal point. So if you have decided that the necklace is the focal point everything else should just compliment not distract, compete, or take attention away from it. Chandelier earrings, with a big bulky bracelet and bib necklace combined will make you look like you raided your grandma’s closet instead of helping highlight your beauty and complete your look.

More than anything just remember to have fun. Remember the key points above and you are sure to look amazing on your special day!
