Here's the second set of WIP shots from the second set of princesses, 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 beads, color quality check, and color placement refinement. 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 12 inches tall on 36 count, all are approximately 24 inches tall on 18 count.
Mulan: 59 colors, 7 hours 3 minutes
Tinkerbell: 52 colors, 10 hours 48 minutes
Esmeralda: 52 colors, 9 hours 37 minutes

Mulan started with 173 colors and now has 59. I'm concerned about her skintone: the original WIP (the computer generated color picks) has her cartoonish yellow (eek!) with easter-chicken shading and odd gray blobs. My cohorts and I looked at many, many reference images for Mulan and couldn't pin down a for-sure skin tone for her. Until further color refinement is done, she's sharing the same shading as Tinkerbell (and Belle, and Rapunzel, and Merida) with some slight change for her blush and shadows. She will most likely keep this coloring with further shading placement.

Tinkerbell started with 176 colors and now has 52. She was my personal choice for this set and so was the one I was most excited to do. She uses a lot of Kreinik threads all over her wings - soft, super sparkly yellow. I'm a fan of the blue-winged Tink myself, so I may be including a color substitute for that in the end (even though blue wings would really look odd with Hannah's artwork). I had to do just a bit of altering in some of the dress lines, pull the belt around, and tug some of the flowers, to make it fit properly with thread. Since Hannah's original description for Tink specifically states that it needs to be as sparkly as possible, all the color on the flowers (those whites, blues, purples, and pinks) are going to be beads!!

Esmeralda started with 174 colors and now has 52. Did you think Merida was the backstitching queen? Meet Esmeralda. Merida uses 771.8 inches of backstitching (on 18 count). Esmeralda wins the crown at 773 inches, and I haven't even done her tiara headband dealy yet. She's using Kreinik for her bracelets and currently tambourine (that might change). The gold detailing on her top-skirt-layer is metallic gold. I'm super unsure about her skintone as well... the computer-generated picks were making her terracotta orange. I don't think she's actually quite as dark brown as the colors I've chosen and will need further refinement, but until then these shades are making for good placeholders (and really aren't as dark in person). Originally, and you can see the change, I was using metallics for her skirt coins, but now I am going to use sequins. Because the sequins are specialized I will very, veryyyyyyy likely be selling small material packs to be mailed to purchasers of Esmeralda (solo or set).

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