"Hen-Lee" Spring Collection 2013

Google "Chicken Clothes", and this is what you get. I had the idea before I saw this and was really disappointed with how ugly these looked.

I mean really. This is very unflattering. Red on Red? Gross. 
It was a nice day so I went outside to sketch for a few minutes. Everywhere I walk my chickens follow... I found some ground and hunkered down with my book. My girls stay close-by knowing that they are safe from the hawks for a second. I am their mother goose after all. I thought about the sound of music... how Julie Andrews made clothes for the kids from old curtains... and then I thought, what if I made clothes for my girls. I think I got a little carried away.

Anyway this is what I came up with.
"The hills are alive.... with the sounds of my chickens....." la la la la.  The bottom sketch is a 5 minute sketch. The top sketch is my whimsical world. Me as a lady with my lady friends. 

And this is my "Hen-Lee Spring Collection 2013".
