The Illustrator FINALISTS! Prepare to be amazed!

No, seriously, guys. Hold on to your hats! You knew these lovely ladies were talented, and that was just their semi-final submissions. (And if you missed those, take a peek here.)

Are you ready? Are you prepared to be wowed and wooed by the gorgeous fabric designs ahead of you? Are you certain you can handle it? Those faint of heart should look away! Get ready....

BEHOLD THE THREE POP PRINCESS FINALISTS IN ALL THEIR GLORY!

✩ Name: Katie

For our first contender, she comes in a cute pint sized package of black and white frills and an adorable smile! Katie absolutely beams when she talks about her passion for illustration, as well as her love for all things Japan. She chatters on amiably with such a great spirit for story telling and adding the warmth of laughter to a room. 


Her print features little Hopscotch frolicking through a strawberry garden, looking out at you with sweet innocent eyes as butterflies flit about her head and whimsical clover, daisies, and bows rain down from above. 


♥♥♥

✩ Name: Mars

The gorgeous and spirited Mars, mother of a cute baby girl, with adorable pink and lavender ringlets framing her pretty face is in the next corner of the ring! A style of illustration completely unique as the artist---her wide eyed girls look out from their frames with sultry stares and a hint of mischief amidst lush brush strokes and bold colors.


This print features an intricate use of tromp l'oeil, and decadent amounts of detail, framing an almost royal Rococo-esque Hopscotch in a gilded frame. A quilted like background accents the delicate lace and cascading arcs of ribbon.


♥♥♥

✩ Name: Flor


Finally, our last champion in the ring hails from Mexico who is as sweet as a peach, and so bubbly in spirit! Flor is as every bit talented as she is modest, and adorable. Her adoration for illustrating, as well as desire to be a part of the Pop Princess experience, and follow her dream, shines through in both her hard work and interview questions.
Flor went a more celestial route with her print, with my little baby bun gazing out dreamily into the night sky, little fuzzy face beaming with star light and the buzzing of fireflies.  Hoppy truly looks at peace in this starry garden, chasing after falling stars.


Flor was so excited, she did several different versions! Which delighted me. ^-^ (Which version do you like best? <3)

    1. o^-^o Hotaru, I think so as well. They should be very proud having worked so so so hard, and they are each very unique and wonderful in their own way. <3 xo

  3. Ooh, this is one tough decision, dear! I certainly do not envy you. The arcs of ribbon and the lace on Mars's design is enchanting, but then Katie's bunnies seem so lifelike... and yet Flor's has such a cutesy feel...
    For myself, if I was really hard-pressed to choose, I guess though I would choose Katie's. I somehow have to think of Beatrix Potter when I look at it:-)
