I didn't get to work on my dresses yesterday but I did enjoy seeing family and an incredible firework show. #fireworks #island #boat #america #4thofJuly

Starting stage 2 of the hand painted wedding dress! The bottom has been painted and now I am sewing all different beading and sequin to the entire dress! #hannahsola #weddingdress #coloredweddingdress #artisticvivations #unicornspit #mydsughtersdressboutique #acotar #art #grief #springcourt #handpainted #sewing #beads #sparkle #glitter #uniqueweddingdress #neverseenbefore #oneofakind

First stages of painting a 5 layer wedding dress! This is dress number 6 in my grief journey series and her name is MIRROR MIRROR. #hannahsola #unicornspit #artisticvivations #motherlessdaughters #griefjourney #painting #coloredweddingdress #wedding #bride #lace #satin #watercolorpainting #uniqueart #diywedding

The stone dress is getting some subtle sparkle and a few more layers of paint then she will be ready for her photoshoot! #hannahsola #griefjourney #motherlessdaughters #unicornspit #artisticvivations #costume #painting

Here is a little bit of the process of making my "rock bottom" dress. Just a few more details to add then she will be photoshoot ready! #hannahsola #motherlessdaughters #griefjourney #hitting rock bottom #unicornspit #artisticvivations #stoneart #costume #painting

I threw caution to the wind, grabbed a paintbrush, and added the Miss Lillian's NO WAX Chock Paint Sue-per DUPER shifters on my evil dress 😍. The color shifts so much every time I walk by it I have to stop and look 🤣 I am going to be using these a TON on my dresses, thats for sure. The whole dress was painted with unicorn spit #artisticvivations and it seems like the shift wax really likes mixing with this paint medium. I am so excited! Tanglewood Sue thank you for introducing me to this product 🥰

Not flower related and I hope you all dont mibd me sharing this. As lunch was cooking I grabbed a dress and started painting right outside the gate so I can watch both my little man, who loves watching me paint, and the food (baby sister was napping).... but then this happened and now we have a new favorite game! Needless to say I didn't get much painting done but memories were made 💕

This dress is a work in progress for my 2023 #griefjourney photo book. This piece is meant to be the symbol for hitting "rock" bottom as it will look like it, and the model have turned to stone #artisticvivations #hannahsola #unicornspit #motherlessdaughters #sewing #fadingheart #darkfairytale #costume

I needed a little break from the evil dress so I painted a little on the Fading heart dress. As a reminder this dress is meant to look like stone. The once vibrant colors have faded and it's depiction is of hitting rock bottom. . . . . #hannahsola #artisticvivations #unicornspit #griefjourney #motherlessdaughters #darkfairytale #costume #sewing #fadingheart

My EVIL dress is really starting to take shape. I still have a lot to do with it but I am excited to see her coming together. I hope you all are enjoying this one. #costume #unicornspit #artisticvivations #griefjourney #motherlessdaughters #sewing #hannahsola #scary #Evil #sfxmakeup #forestfairy #darkfairytale #mentalillnessawareness

Shes gotten darker and a little more spiderwebby...... 🙈👻

dress number 4 is in the works! she will be transformed from a beautiful wedding dress into an evil forest queen!

Check her out!! Still have a bit more beading to do on the skirt and I think I want to add in some tinsel on this piece 👀 I am LOOOOVING how she is turning out though! 🥰 ***Also if you haven't seen..... a few of my flowers and PREMIUM SOLA ROLLS have been added back on my website! www.hannahsola.com*** More classes coming VERY SOON! *question for you all.... If I happened to have a corset and beaded it to look like a more wearable version of this tutu and put it up for sale, would that be of interest to anyone? Maybe some one size fits most adult tulle skirts? Kids tutus that match this vibe? Opal wood flower sets for my sola ladies? What do you think?

I woke up super early to start beading the newly antiqued Chantilly lace for the bodice of the tutu! I still have a ways to go but babies are up and mom duty begins! Here is a little sparkle for your morning 🥰✨️

I'm finishing up sewing the bodice of the Beep boop dress today during the kids nap (fixing the icky spots)! I sooo wish a camera and/or photo picked up all the details your eye can in person. Guys it isn't even close! I added a shimmer/glitter to all the #unicornspit I used... in person the whole bodice glitters in the most amazing way. Regardless here's an up close view of her while I wait for the rest of my Amazon goodies 🙃🫠 Enjoy!!

It's been a busy day breaking down all the Christmas decorations and getting the house back in order. I haven't been able to do much with the gatekeeper dress but I caught it in the sunshine and I had to take a video of it 😍 Happy Sunday everyone!

Here is an update on the gatekeeper dress! This was one of the dresses I was having a difficult time getting what i wanted with the AI picture. I chose that picture (out of many) because I liked how strong and bold that dress felt. Obviously mine isn't exactly what is in the AI PHOTO but this is more what's in my head... less steampunk more warrior fairy keeper of the keys. I cant wait to see this one on a person!! Thanks again to #unicorn spit for the splashes of color!!!!

Here is the video I promised now that it is somewhat light outside. I added in the crown I've been working on (made of a headband, zip ties, gold paint and some flower brooches). As one of the lovely ladies said on my last post "trust the process." I know she's not a looker yet but she will be 🔥😍🎨🦄 This gatekeeper is supposed to live in the same world as the Beep Boop Art dress 🥰 she will be just as spectacular.

Shes a work in progress but that end vision is going to be glorious ✨️
