Princess Postcards | Be You, Be Happy, Be Awesome

Today I’ve got four Princess Postcards to share, painted in the series of Happy Girl Postcards. All my Painted Postcards are finished, but I’m sharing just the princess ones today. I would love to know which of these you like best – and why? Share in the comments below please.

I think most of us painted princesses as kids, or dressed up as princesses? What girl wouldn’t like to dress and party like a princess, at least for a few days?

These days I think of princesses not as helplessly waiting to be rescued by a prince, but as empowering pictures of a strong girl with a will of her own. A modern day princess does as she pleases, without permission from anyone. At least that’s what my princesses are about.

They’re girl power and bad asses from the glittery shoes to the head crown…

Here’s one with pearlescent wings that is spreading her sparkly love over the world:

From one Princess to another

So we are surrounded by images of princesses, weather it be any of the Disney princesses or the in real life ones we have here in Sweden (Victoria and Madeleine). They’re fascinating as cultural expression, and as phenomenons, I think. There is something a bit strange but oh, so glamorous and exotic about their lives.

I feel a bit like I embraced my inner child by painting these princess postcards. There might be a few more coming out of me soon, or at least I hope so. Until then, be happy:

Princess Postcard no 4: Wishing you Happiness with a postcard, by iHanna.

Which one is your favorite princess of the postcards – and which one is your favorite princess image? Snow White? Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden? The Princess Diary-princess? Cinderella? Elsa, or her sister Anna? There are so many cool ones!

Sending you good princess vibes with love from Sweden.
