Plus Size Disney – Merida

I LOVE Brave.

It’s definitely my favourite of the more recent Disney films and I adore Merida as a character.

Passionate, fiery and Independent she stands for everything a strong woman should be and her anti-princess stance is super appealing to me.

Here is my take on an outfit for Merida using items that are on sale at the moment.

Trousers – Simply Be
Top – Evans
Crossbow Necklace – Etsy
Dr Marten Boots – Office
Betty Jackson Bag – Debenhams

I already own the DMs and Top in this outfit and am totally crushing on the necklace & trousers, so I might actually end up recreating this!

Plus Size Disney – Belle

I saw this dress and it screamed Belle to me so I had to put together a Belle inspired look.

I love to mix up quirky with classical and the clutch bag made from a book made my heart melt when I saw it! I definitely need one of these in my life.

Dress – Simply Be
Clutch Bag Made From a Vintage Book – Etsy
Shoes – Office

Belle with a twist. I would totally wear this to a wedding or an event, I love it.

Sleeping Death

“ The Victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by Love’s First Kiss”

20140713-100658-36418318.jpg
It’s no great secret that I am more a fan of the Disney Villains than the princesses, I can understand the appeal of the princesses to the masses but I’d much rather root for the bad guy and my artwork does have a tendency to reflect that.

One of my favourite designs, which incidentally is one of my most popular ones, “Sleeping Death” poison apple print. The poison apple is such an iconic villainous prop that it is instantly recognisable and either loved or hated by Disney fans dependant on what side of the fence you root for!

Silk painting allows me to create some very dramatic effects with the colours in this piece and I have made it with a variety of backgrounds for different customers. The grey smoke effect has proved the most popular and can be seen in my Etsy store at the moment on one of my smaller scarves, I love this and wear if often as a headscarf when I’m trying to tame my crazy curls!

20140713-101015-36615793.jpg
This design proved so popular that I have branched out and made a few bags with it on too, this are brand new to the store this week so I would love to know what you think of them?

What other products would you like to see this design painted on to?

Do you own this scarf? I’d love to see how you style it!

For the love of Etsy …

Have you visited Etsy yet?

Are you as hooked as I am?

What is Etsy?

It is basically a marketplace for creative and imaginative minds that make the most bizarre and incredible designs and is my idea of heaven. I spend hours upon hours searching different key words and browsing through shops of wonder and have even brought myself some awesome pieces on there.

As a little introduction to those of you that may be new to Etsy, I thought that I would show you a few of my absolute favourite stores and sellers – I hope that you find this as useful as I do!!

The Hair Necessities

20140710-081913-29953655.jpg

This store sells the most amazing hand made Disney Inspired hair bows. The quality is second to none and I love the ones that I own.

It is owned by Shannon, who is super friendly and lovely and will work with you to design something if you can’t see what you’re looking for!

The Magical Slipper

20140710-082317-30197324.jpg

Can we all just take a moment to admire Courtney’s sensational talent?!

Look at the detail in those shoes ❤️

This store is currently closed due to the unsurprising high level of orders that she has, but is definitely worth following on Etsy for when she’s back!

Not only does Courtney sell shoes, she is an amazing artist too and has some beautiful prints for sale of work that she’s done.

TheMaddTeaParty

20140710-134103-49263348.jpg

These ears make me so happy!!

The attention to detail and creativity is just fabulous and makes me want to buy every single pair they list!

I will own the Cheshire Cat ones in the very near future!

Ok, so I probably shouldn’t shout out my own shop, but I’m going to …

QueenUrsulaUK

20140710-134618-49578022.jpg

I work really hard designing and creating items that I love in the hope that you guys will too.

It’s a relatively new store and as such there aren’t as many items in it yet as I’d like there to be – but bear with me, I’ll get there!!

I do offer a bespoke design service so if there is something that you want then please do get in touch and we can work together to create the item of your dreams!

I’ll revisit my love of Etsy at some point in the future as this is only the tip of the iceberg of shops I love!

What’s your favourite Etsy shop?
