Period Impressions:
Costumes of the Maghreb<\/span><\/span>
By Dawn Devine ~ Davina<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I\u2019m back home after two weeks in sunny San Diego, California where I was hard at work as a staffer for Comic-Con<\/a> and then off to play in Mexico at the Vita Spa<\/a>. Now I\u2019m back in my office and at the not-so-proverbial drawing board. Below is a sampling of illustrations from my latest book project. With a new set of Copic Lining Pens<\/a> and the inspiration of spending so much time with the incredible collection of talented artists at the convention, I\u2019m ready to go. This week, I will be working on getting back into the swing of drawing every day, and so I suspect that over the course of the next few weeks, I will loosen up and my illustrations will gain in strength, character and complexity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Period Impressions \u2013 Costumes of the Maghreb<\/span> is an overview of the evolution of dress styles across North Africa. Successive waves of conquest and cultural domination have each added their own special spice to what has become an exotic m\u00e9lange of sartorial flavors, visually dazzling and regionally distinct. This book will include historical notes, pattern layouts and construction details for both men’s and women’s costumes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you more about this book in upcoming posts \u2013 I hope you enjoy these samples from my collection of illustrations. There will be more to follow soon.
