It was part of the New Look collection. The Suit was a cream shantung morning coat with rounded tails that closely followed the curves of the bust. The large black pleated skirt gave it a swinging gait that had not been seen before. The suit was part of his manifesto collection to bring back woman&#39;s ultra-femininity and opulence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was asked to paint this infamous suit for a custom portrait.

I am just now resurfacing after the holiday travels and it feels great to be back in the studio again. Last year was a year full of travels and discovery.&lt;br /&gt;Last year I had come across the pictures of dogs that were celebrated and honored in Nepal in their Kukur Tihar Festival. The festival that celebrates dogs and their undying devotion and love  for man takes place in Nepal every year, on the second day of Tihar, the  country’s autumnal religious celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g0z89_Bb-MU/Vpko5lRGMZI/AAAAAAAAAsg/slaugMbpcLg/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-01-15%2Bat%2B9.13.50%2BAM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;481&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g0z89_Bb-MU/Vpko5lRGMZI/AAAAAAAAAsg/slaugMbpcLg/s640/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-01-15%2Bat%2B9.13.50%2BAM.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on the Hindu celebration of Diwali, Tihar is the Nepalese  version of this religious festival, where people gather to celebrate the  triumph of light over darkness, of knowledge over ignorance and the  worshiping of all living beings, especially dogs!&lt;br /&gt;Dogs have a&amp;nbsp;are marked with a &lt;i&gt;tika&lt;/i&gt; on their heads and are dressed with a garland called &lt;i&gt;malla&lt;/i&gt;.  On this festive day where dogs are honored and worshiped, all of our  furry friends are offered delicious treats by their fellow human beings  and songs and dances take place in their honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-riymBNPtPY8/VpkkAftQeFI/AAAAAAAAAsM/KqETeJ_iWYQ/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-01-15%2Bat%2B8.52.16%2BAM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-riymBNPtPY8/VpkkAftQeFI/AAAAAAAAAsM/KqETeJ_iWYQ/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-01-15%2Bat%2B8.52.16%2BAM.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yudhishthira, the King of Righteousness, is shown here refusing to enter heaven without his dog. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; title=&quot;Hindu&quot;&gt;Hindu&lt;/a&gt; epic &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata&quot; title=&quot;Mahabharata&quot;&gt;Mahabharata&lt;/a&gt;, Yudhishthira &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Unicode&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: none; white-space: normal;&quot; title=&quot;International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;was the eldest son of King Pandu and Queen Kunti and the king of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; title=&quot;Indraprastha&quot;&gt;Indraprastha&lt;/a&gt; and later of Hastinapura (Kuru). He was the leader of the successful Pandava side in the Kurukshetra War. At the end of the epic, he ascended to heaven.&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the epic, Yudhishthira and brothers and wife, accompanied by a dog, made their final journey of pilgrimage to the Himalayas.  While climbing the peaks, his brothers and wife fell to their deaths, dragged down by the weight of their guilt for their sins. As it happens, Yudhishthira had to answer every time Bhima asked him the reason for his wife and brothers&#39; fall. But he did not even look back to help any of them which seemed very cruel to Bhima. This was because Yudhishthira knew that the time to leave Earthly ties had come and he needed to focus his mind. Yudhishthira was the only one to reach the mountain peak in his mortal body, because he was unblemished by sin or untruth.  On reaching the top, Indra asked him to abandon the dog before entering the Heaven. But Yudhishthira refused to do so, citing the dog&#39;s unflinching loyalty as a reason. It turned out that the dog was his god-father Dharma in disguise. The incident symbolized that dharma follows you till the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after seeing this pictures of the festival, reading both the above epic of Yudhishthira and&amp;nbsp; an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailyom.com/library/000/000/000000520.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;excerpt&lt;/a&gt; of Jean Houston&#39;s book Mystical Dogs: Animals as Guides to our Inner Life, I was inspired to paint some dogs with mallas. I decided to pick the 10 most popular dogs in the U.S. on a list I found from the American Kennel Club.

I had not been back to Paraguay in about 8 years. I decided to take this trip with my parents since it had been 12 years since my father had gone to visit his family.  Both of my parents were born and raised in Paraguay so it was a treat to see my extended family. I knew that it would be a special trip since he planned to collect information about his family to write the family history. I was able to meet relatives I had never met before and hear interesting stories about the family.&lt;br /&gt;In our down time I was able to sneak out and go to downtown Asuncion and purchase some artisanal handcrafts. Here are some pictures from shopping at La Recova and downtown close to Plaza de los Heroes. There are outdoor street vendors on Palma St between Iturbi and 14 de Mayo streets. La Recova has several shops on the outside corridor as well as inside in  the larger warehouse style building. The outside walkway has a series  of large white arches, so it is a very recognizable building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2cMV_0KgMTk/Vi_MAum93uI/AAAAAAAAAmM/oMkXnEYB5i8/s1600/Shopping%2Basuncion%2Bparaguay%252C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot;

I have never really quite made a decision as to either make a skirt or dress out of the fabulous fabric. It is a gorgeous muted orange doodles fabric begging to be cut. :) I was inspired by both the fabric and one of Altuzarra&#39;s looks for Spring 2015.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OZxI_hoxHJE/VOOSoCT06ZI/AAAAAAAAAUA/9P2n3okiWTI/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-17%2Bat%2B11.11.56%2BAM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OZxI_hoxHJE/VOOSoCT06ZI/AAAAAAAAAUA/9P2n3okiWTI/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-17%2Bat%2B11.11.56%2BAM.png&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Photo: Kim Weston Arnold / Indigitalimages.com&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;I decided that if I did a fashion illustration of both options I would be able to easily decide.

Only problem was that I did not have enough fabric for the dress as I had hoped. I ended up making the skirt instead and I absolutely love it! I would have made a similar skirt to Altuzarra&#39;s pencil skirt with buttons but buttons are not my friend. So what do you guys think? Should I have made the dress? I&#39;ll post pictures of the finished skirt later this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I really want an orange print dress, I could always cheat and get Motel&#39;s&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.revolveclothing.com/motel-high-neck-shift-dress-in-red-japanese-bloom/dp/MOTE-WD162/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;high neck shift dress.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Imn4ZCFKNJI/VOOR2JvuPuI/AAAAAAAAAT4/NdXbkMKkpRY/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-17%2Bat%2B11.07.32%2BAM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Imn4ZCFKNJI/VOOR2JvuPuI/AAAAAAAAAT4/NdXbkMKkpRY/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-17%2Bat%2B11.07.32%2BAM.png&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;347&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;stlr-embed-container stlr-embed-is-large&quot; data-story-id=&quot;452187573830288979&quot; data-type=&quot;compact&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;https://steller.co/site/static/js/steller.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;!-- please load steller.js ONCE per page --&gt;</description><link>http://amariastudio.blogspot.com/2015/02/orange-fabric-decisions.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amaria Studio)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OZxI_hoxHJE/VOOSoCT06ZI/AAAAAAAAAUA/9P2n3okiWTI/s72-c/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-17%2Bat%2B11.11.56%2BAM.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744810863339203201.post-6642984366968793318</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jan 2015 21:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-01-12T13:45:11.653-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">AMaria Studio</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fashion illustrations</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">happy new year 2015</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">pay it forward</category><title>Pay it Forward 2015</title><description>Hello everyone and happy New year! I started off the year posting a &quot;Pay It Forward&quot; on my personal facebook page. I had some wonderful people respond to my post.

I was inspired by a group I occasionally meet with. The girls that go have never met before but love to do arts and crafts. There are girls from all ages that come and share their talents with the group. Every time we get together another girl is able to share snippets of their life story. It reminds me of the movie called&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PHSDTB2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ref=Dvm_us_js_sl_GCATTVB00PHSDTB2&amp;amp;tag=gcatvodmov-20&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;How to Make an American Quilt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;br /&gt;If you have never seen this movie before it is definitely a must see. &lt;br /&gt;Took me several days to complete this painting and I&#39;d like to share with you the process of the painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I0A5MbRjWSY/VInTS3AuILI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/_QhXVjYmqxE/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIllustration%2Bprocess%2B1%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I0A5MbRjWSY/VInTS3AuILI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/_QhXVjYmqxE/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIllustration%2Bprocess%2B1%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D71vQFJLm74/VInTS1lZVgI/AAAAAAAAAQw/OyvB9-M4w3g/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIllustration%2Bprocess%2B2%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D71vQFJLm74/VInTS1lZVgI/AAAAAAAAAQw/OyvB9-M4w3g/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIllustration%2Bprocess%2B2%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; height=&quot;396&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-83AFxe5SLbo/VInTTgxpNxI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/gsFL-OaHYCQ/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIllustration%2Bprocess%2B3%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-83AFxe5SLbo/VInTTgxpNxI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/gsFL-OaHYCQ/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIllustration%2Bprocess%2B3%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;397&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpDHt0i0lT4/VInTS3X_7lI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/2xFFxnwrRRk/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIlllustration%2Bprocess%2B4%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpDHt0i0lT4/VInTS3X_7lI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/2xFFxnwrRRk/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2BIlllustration%2Bprocess%2B4%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.png&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KdwajTrORjg/VInWb1fITtI/AAAAAAAAARc/viUByNtep2w/s1600/Crafty%2BGirls%2C%2BWM%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KdwajTrORjg/VInWb1fITtI/AAAAAAAAARc/viUByNtep2w/s640/Crafty%2BGirls%2C%2BWM%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In the final illustration, I styled the girlfriends with different outfits I found made by small biz owners/ artisans.

Now I am sure everyone is gearing up for the Christmas Holidays. Lots of gift planning going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month I decided to do a little gift giving myself by doing a custom portrait fashion illustration of a lucky winner. That lucky winner was Stefunny! I contacted her and ask her to send a picture of herself in either the outfit she wanted illustrated or to send me links of items she wanted to be illustrated in. I was sent the following requests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto;

I did not study graphic design in school and it has been something I have been interested in the past few years. I dabbled with adobe illustrator this year with a couple of fabric designs I have in Spoonflower but was incredibly frustrated that I lacked the skills. Last week Bonnie Christine who is a surface designer was on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.creativelive.com/courses/design-surface-patterns-scratch-bonnie-christine&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Creativelive&lt;/a&gt; last week teaching everything see learned on her own to do repeat patterns. This is the class and it is well worth purchasing if you are interested in surface design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fwU28MApQG4/U_fV-feo9iI/AAAAAAAAAKY/RlgepMtjedk/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2014-08-22%2Bat%2B4.44.01%2BPM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fwU28MApQG4/U_fV-feo9iI/AAAAAAAAAKY/RlgepMtjedk/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2014-08-22%2Bat%2B4.44.01%2BPM.png&quot; height=&quot;427&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;photo credit: &lt;a href=&quot;http://creativelive.com/&quot;&gt;Creativelive.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;So all this week I have taking that class and attempting to do my next fabric design on illustrator. It has been so much fun! I was so excited that this class was offered! &lt;br /&gt;Here are some pics of me sketching out some ideas and dabbling in illustrator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-33YYeNeMIaU/U_fZIlmbVvI/AAAAAAAAAKw/4C4S2EPTAHo/s1600/sketching%2B3%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-33YYeNeMIaU/U_fZIlmbVvI/AAAAAAAAAKw/4C4S2EPTAHo/s1600/sketching%2B3%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; height=&quot;636&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nz5zsasM2Y0/U_fZIJ45x0I/AAAAAAAAAKs/sAu8j_FL3io/s1600/Sketching%2B2%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nz5zsasM2Y0/U_fZIJ45x0I/AAAAAAAAAKs/sAu8j_FL3io/s1600/Sketching%2B2%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;636&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lbRu6OqRvHY/U_fZIzM67-I/AAAAAAAAAK0/6H9QLvBKMTc/s1600/Sketching%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lbRu6OqRvHY/U_fZIzM67-I/AAAAAAAAAK0/6H9QLvBKMTc/s1600/Sketching%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;638&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DGH0B9sfJE/U_fZO00okHI/AAAAAAAAALE/iv2zdt3RLDQ/s1600/Dabbling%2Bin%2BIllustrator.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DGH0B9sfJE/U_fZO00okHI/AAAAAAAAALE/iv2zdt3RLDQ/s1600/Dabbling%2Bin%2BIllustrator.jpg&quot; height=&quot;636&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to end the week off right I did another &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amariastudio.com/product/custom-portrait&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;custom portrait&lt;/a&gt; of this fashionable couple who is recently engaged to be married. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fMtlWAqsJFA/U_fZ9Nx-tJI/AAAAAAAAALQ/gc5UMEYDIPE/s1600/Custom%2BIllustration%2C%2BFashion%2Billustration%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fMtlWAqsJFA/U_fZ9Nx-tJI/AAAAAAAAALQ/gc5UMEYDIPE/s1600/Custom%2BIllustration%2C%2BFashion%2Billustration%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg&quot; height=&quot;638&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.creativelive.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Creativelive&lt;/a&gt; they offer some really great classes.&amp;nbsp; Hope you all have had a great week!

She is the ultimate personal shopper, Betty Lidji, at the flagship store in Dallas. Her customer service to her clients is top notch. I learned from the best! I know she will enjoy writing to her fabulous clients with her personalized notecards. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in getting your own &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amariastudio.com/product/custom-portrait&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;custom fashion watercolor portrait&lt;/a&gt; done visit the site. Once the portrait has been completed I can upload the notecard design in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zazzle.com/amaria_studio&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;zazzle&lt;/a&gt; shop. There you can order and reorder to your hearts desire. If you  would want any other item with your portrait on it you can let me know and I can upload that to the shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what I have been working on this week in the studio.&amp;nbsp; Have a great weekend and be creative my friends!</description><link>http://amariastudio.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-peek-in-studio.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amaria Studio)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iIKzbMZJ4HA/U-6HxjDEXHI/AAAAAAAAAIk/-03YjzoOhj4/s72-c/Custom%2Bportrait%2C%2BCustom%2Bnotecards%2C%2BAmaria%2BStudio.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744810863339203201.post-5788868766411446333</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Aug 2014 22:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-08-10T16:03:11.172-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">AMaria Studio</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Custom portraits</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fashion illustration</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">notecards</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Watercolor</category><title>Custom Watercolor Fashion Illustrations</title><description>I have been busy this week doing more custom watercolor fashion illustrations.

I was inspired by a photograph that &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/p/oJpX3es7f1/&quot;&gt;Anthropologie&lt;/a&gt; posted in their instagram of &lt;a href=&quot;http://instagram.com/p/n_bXgRmEg9/&quot;&gt;Mara Ferreira&lt;/a&gt; on her blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L4_3oO-MBaM/U4ziJU5KD5I/AAAAAAAAADk/i3-CKEiawPM/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+1.38.42+PM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L4_3oO-MBaM/U4ziJU5KD5I/AAAAAAAAADk/i3-CKEiawPM/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+1.38.42+PM.png&quot; height=&quot;396&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Photo by &lt;i&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlovesmblog.com/&quot;&gt;M Loves M&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ke0om2SpyMU/U4zrW0bUqPI/AAAAAAAAAEI/FRIUZjOxPi4/s1600/Lady+at+the+Beach,+Amaria+Studio,+WM.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ke0om2SpyMU/U4zrW0bUqPI/AAAAAAAAAEI/FRIUZjOxPi4/s1600/Lady+at+the+Beach,+Amaria+Studio,+WM.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;635&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp; The hat Mara was wearing inspired me to sketch and watercolor an image of her wearing some Amaria earrings. The girl in the hat then inspired me to watercolor a seashell, and the mother of pearl earrings and pearl necklace. I then decided to design a fabric combining all the watercolors and came up with my first fabric design available at Spoonflower called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/3158342&quot;&gt;Lady at the Beach&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3pjolO1kYdA/U4zqdYZeiZI/AAAAAAAAAEA/0IBzq1aXNkc/s1600/Lady+at+the+Beach,+Fabric,+Amaria+Studio,+WM.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3pjolO1kYdA/U4zqdYZeiZI/AAAAAAAAAEA/0IBzq1aXNkc/s1600/Lady+at+the+Beach,+Fabric,+Amaria+Studio,+WM.jpg&quot; height=&quot;545&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fHsQtKGFkHA/U4zs4V3QeII/AAAAAAAAAEU/Wks76XICuAg/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+2.29.32+PM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fHsQtKGFkHA/U4zs4V3QeII/AAAAAAAAAEU/Wks76XICuAg/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+2.29.32+PM.png&quot; height=&quot;620&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here is my swatch of the fabric&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;I have also uploaded it in my&lt;a href=&quot;http://society6.com/AmariaStudio/Lady-at-the-Beach-w5T_Bag#26=197&quot;&gt; Shop&lt;/a&gt; so if you are interested in a tote, pillow, art print, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lif0tD01TjI/U4zulwUE1nI/AAAAAAAAAEg/XAwVB8Y-y6k/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+2.36.05+PM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lif0tD01TjI/U4zulwUE1nI/AAAAAAAAAEg/XAwVB8Y-y6k/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-06-02+at+2.36.05+PM.png&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;319&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am pretty excited about this first fabric design and have already been working on the second one with a Moroccan theme.

It was truly a magical experience.&amp;nbsp; The very first winery we stopped at had a group of girlfriends that were there for a bachlorette weekend. I really wish I would have captured the moment. They were all dolled up in their colorful maxi dress and the backdrop of the winery was stunning. I have had this image of them in my mind for the last couple of weeks&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt; and have bee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ee;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;n itching to sketch them&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this week I decided to illustrate three girlfriends wine tasting in Napa. Here is my process....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KjMbiYN6Dyc/U3VlREGWjcI/AAAAAAAAA6s/Rbc6ePtHYD8/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-05-15+at+6.08.05+PM.png&quot;
