WonderGround Gallery Artist Jackie Huang

I love the original art that appears in WonderGround Gallery.  Sometimes an artist's interpretation is so unexpected it is fascinating and other times I don't understand it at all.  One artist that I've been taken with is Jackie Huang.  I have several prints of hers and was thrilled to meet her at WonderCon this spring.  While I was talking with her, she mentioned that I should be sure to check out the gallery in August as she was doing some princess pieces.  Well, she did even better than that - check out her piece from the gallery!

The seven dwarfs!  It is hard to tell from my photo - but her work is all done by paper piecing - tiny pieces built on top of each other creating an amazing 3D piece.  Unfortunately the original had already sold by the time I got there, so I never did get to see it (or be faced with the decision to purchase it).  I did however get a chance to talk with her and have her sign a print and a postcard.  Her website has a much more detailed photo - be sure to check it out!

Finding Snow White at WonderCon

Last weekend I spent a day checking out WonderCon in Anaheim and was surprised at how much Disney I found there.  I was excited to see a particular artist in the Artist alley but found many more things throughout the day.
I enjoy Amy Memberson's Pocket Princess comics immensely and was excited to meet her.  I was even more thrilled to purchase an original drawing.

Many of the artists had Disney inspired pop-art.  I also purchased a great Disney inspired print by Nidhi Channani.  Another WonderGround Gallery artist, and one of my favorites, was at WonderCon - I love Jackie Huang's work.  Her Good vs. Evil Queen and Hag astounds me.  I purchased a few cards and she let me know that she will be back at WonderGround with princess art in August.  Fingers crossed for some Snow White!

I also found some fun buttons from Fandom Flare and added this button to my collection:

One booth had all sorts of fun products from Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Store Japan.  I bought a Snow White inspired hair clip:

Of course, half the fun of one of these events is to see all the people dress up.  I saw a few Snow Whites - a traditional, a mash-up of some warrior and Snow, and my personal favorite, a tiny Snow White in a batman hat.
I can't wait to go back next year!
