Once Upon A Dream

Hi everybody! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I was so busy I didn't have time to post anything I made!  Have to catch up on that later. For now, here is a quick post of a piece I just threw together after being inspired by watching my favorite Disney movie, Sleeping Beauty. I credit that movie with instilling in me a love of medieval style, because the design of the film is doused in medieval sauce, and as a toddler I watched it three times a day. I watched it again this morning and got this idea which marinated in my head all day. So here it is, with some closeup shots too, to show the pencilled details. 



(I couldn't help myself, had to put a tiny caterpillar on one of the leaves.)


The whole thing was done with Michelle Ward stencils and cheap acrylic paint.
