The Fairy Queen and The King of The Lake by Janaina
Jenica and Gogu, from Wildwood Dancing (by Juliet Marillier), a novel based on ‘the twelve dancing princesses’ and ‘the frog prince’ fairy tales and vampire folklore.
I will be doing two illustrations for the Menons-la-danse-zine, one being of Marinette dancing one of the national polish dances 8) So I did a bit of research on the different dresses and how they behave during the twirl! Hesitating between the krakowiak and oberek dance costumes;;;
