Creative Artist Illustrates Disney Princess Series Inspired By Traditional Birthstones
This captivating series was inspired by poems written by an anonymous writer for Tiffany & Co. in the 1870s.
Los Angeles-based artist Kathryn Hudson is exceptionally talented; we've previously gushed over her art (like when she paired Disney heroines with the perfect candy!) Some of Hudson's past work includes character design for the adult animation show Archer, working on a toy line for the girls' division of Hasbro Toys, and serving as the Character Lead for DC Superhero Girls!
This captivating series was inspired by poems written by an anonymous writer for Tiffany & Co. in the 1870s! Kathryn added each birthstone poem to the 12 illustrations and said:
"The poem uses the traditional gemstones rather than the modern ones, so some may be different. I will incorporate the stone somewhere in each girl's outfit."
She nailed it; you'll love it!

1. December - Tiana from Princess and the Frog
"The most successful and hardworking Disney princess."

"For some reason, Esmeralda makes me think of November. Maybe her skin tone reminds me of topaz. Also, the line about friends and lovers: Quasi and Phoebus."

"Born for woe? Laid to rest? Yeah..."

4. September - Jasmine from Aladdin
"This is definitely the craziest part of the poem. I ALMOST did Giselle from Enchanted, but I decided Jasmine worked better. She already has a sapphire on her brow, and she does act crazy occasionally. (The market with the camel)"

5. August - Belle from Beauty and the Beast
"Belle for August! My favorite Disney princess. This is another stone where the traditional is different from the modern one. Sardonyx is in the background and on the book. She is wearing green for peridot, though. The poem fits because she saved the Beast from living unloved and alone!"

6. July - Snow White from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
"This part of the poem really fits Snow White. Free from love's doubts and anxiety, she always struck me as kind of airheaded..."

7. June - Ariel from The Little Mermaid
"June is perfect for Ariel. Its modern birthstone is a pearl (from the ocean!), while the traditional one is agate. She is a wealthy, healthy, happy princess. (Also, the line about coming to Earth is prophetic.)"

8. May - Rapunzel from Tangled
"Rapunzel is perfect for this springtime month. In the short before Beauty and the Beast 3D, Flynn (Eugene) and Rapunzel finally get married! So sweet."

9. April - Cinderella
"Who else would be a diamond? Innocent and sweet, Cinderella represents the springtime of April perfectly."

10. March - Mulan
"This is one of the stones that is different in the poem than what is considered the modern gemstone (aquamarine). I thought this part of the poem fit Mulan perfectly: brave and wise. I tried to make her girly and a tomboy at the same time..."

11. February - Megara from Hercules
"It's funny. I chose Meg because in the poem, amethyst frees you from passion, something the independent Meg might want (but not need!). Only after I picked her did I realize she wears purple. Perfect!"

12. January - Pocahontas
"Pocahontas is a courageous girl loyal to her friends and beliefs, so I thought the garnet portrayed her well."
