Welcome, welcome all, to A Carnival of Color! I’m Rene Rosso 🌹, and I present to you the most colour you will ever see on any catwalk, anywhere.
All hail our dahling Art Director Rebecca Budd! Wearing bias cut faux tartan print palazzo pants, with coordinated accessories, she has earned the feathers in her hat directing “A Carnival of Colour’!
“I’m honored to be here, & what a great day for us all! Colour is a critical component of our lives, and I am thrilled to present all the AGMs resplendent in their favourite colours from the crayon carousel!”
“First out on the runway is AGM Holly! Holly wears a feathery gown in milky hues of magenta, yellow, green and teal.”
SUDDENLY …. black and white flashes engulfed the venue. As AGM Holly exited the stage, her gown turned black, white and grey.
Stunned, but knowing the show must go on, Rebecca introduced the next gown.
“Here’s AGM Shey, in a romantic gown from times past. This gown; in hues of blues and creams, with pumpkin petticoats and a delightful orange trim, presents quite nicely .. ahem… in shades of black and white .”
“Let’s hear it for AGM Marina! In daffodil yellow and a brilliant cinnamon copper, her 1940’s inspired gown awes us … erm … whew! in the monochromatic scale.”
“Put your hands together for Gigi, our most colourful AGM! Magenta, pink, teal, orange, blue and more have never looked as amazing as they do on this body of silver! How fabulous it looks in black, sigh, white and grey! ”
“AGM Dale wows us in this mosaic print in every colour a person could imagine. Just look at those greens, lavenders, reds, golds and more in the drama of black and white!”
“Now, let’s have a thunderous applause for Rene Rosso! Tonight she will share her kaleidoscopic voice with us featuring the Torch Song …..”
As Rebecca spoke, all of the colour drained out of Ms. Rosso’s gown. Worse, her magnificent red hair turned shades of grey.
RR became extremely angry, and in a fit of passion switched her Torch Song to a rendition of a Rock’n’Roll song by Heart! Her band scrambled!
When the song ended, RR stormed off the stage in a smoky huff! As she exited stage left, black and white flashes burst forth! It was a stroboscopic SheyGoth!
A collective gasp went up! AGM Shey’s voice resounded through and over all, “That is not me! That is a fake SheyGoth!”
RR was not amused! Her lounging robe in lavender lace with petite flocked lilac flowers and magenta ruffles was a disaster in in the grey scale.
She looked into her Tangle-Heart, and suddenly knew the score. DracGoth was the culprit. However, she knew he wasn’t this clever. He must have had help!

❦ A MESSAGE FROM ONE-EYE ❦
While I continue to struggle with Tartan & Motorcycles, I thought colour would be the way to go. Apparently there are forces working against the Art Gowns Models. Not to worry! PBH will have this travesty of creativity cleared up in no time at all, or as fast as I can draw!
Lala LaSwirl is on tour. She will be back for another Soprano performance in November. In the meantime, visit her blog, buy her album and blow your mind!
Art Gowns 
What a wonderful story you weave. Your models are gorgeous and their gowns are beautiful and superb. Your drawing is so good these days. I just love the AGMs.
Thank you, Tim! So glad you like the story. Most of these were drawn when I just got my new pencils that you sent.
There was a flurry of basic lead pencil passion.
The more I draw, the better I get. The more I think of Gowntoon stories, the better they get. Diana at Myths of The Mirror did an interesting post on reworking fairy tales,today. That also has me thinking!
LOL! I love the AGMs too!
I read Diana’s pots on fairy tales today too, Resa! I agree wholeheartedly with Tim, you know how to weave a story that has all the elements of a fairy or folk tale, which you brilliantly illustrate with colour vs grey theme.
I meant posts. But there are a lot of pots, usually filled with gold, in fairy tales. So maybe the spellchecker has magic too!
Hahahaha!! It all works for me!
So much fun!
When I finally get the next episode drawn, you will see how Diana’s post influenced me.
I’m just tangling everything up!!!
No new posts? Hope all is well with you Resa.
I have a lot of drawings, but because I was almost finished my new Art Gown, I was in a fit of passion for it. Now, it is done, and I am focusing on the staging and photograpy.
I’m so excited!!!!!
A beautiful new gown, made out of trash will soon grace my blog!
Eeeee! Love you!
Is it on dislpay already? Hopping to your blog. 💕
SOON!!!! xoxox
Display… Getting dyslexic in my old age.
I quite like dislpay!
This’ll pay?
Okay! Lol! You’re adorable.
Love that Tangle-Heart tree!
Thanks, Rebecca.
Tangle Heart is a beauty!
Tim is a sweet heart. One day there was a bad storm, and as soon as he could, he ran out to make sure it was still there!
Of course you have the Black Bamboo.
I have so much at my fingertips to create with!
Lots of drama on the runway, Resa. The gowns can hold their own in color or black and white. ❤ ❤
Thank you, Diana!
I went through a pencil drawing phase for a couple of weeks. So, I came up with this story.
Your fairy tale reworking/telling post is a gem. Lots for me to think of with my Gowntoons!
xoxo ❤ ❤
I always look forward to your creative posts.
That you celebrate all creativity is a lovely quality in you.
❤ ❤
Resa is a genius at conjuring up drama!!!
Ha ha. Yes. ❤
❤
❤❤❤
Your artwork is sublime…indeen magical…young Resa. Regards, TOF
TOF!
Thank you! Just trying to have fun!

I like the ” coloured spiral ” women . Your gowns, Resa, give to them a wonderful dynamic .
Renée is an inspiration for you, too.
Love ❤
Michel
Michel, Renée is a huge inspiration!
Thank you for your lovely comment! Love ❤
Dahling One Eye, I was certain Drac had gotten to our lovely Shey again (after all our efforts to redeem her from the dark world of Goth). How beautiful the AGM’s are! You absolutely astound me with your gorgeous creations. Your art is enchanting, be it all the rainbow colors or black and white. RR naturally went Diva when Drac reappeared, had she not we would have missed Crazy on You and that would have been a shame. The AGMs are perfection and Rebecca pulled it altogether as always with a stroke of your pencils. Such a lovely work of art dear Meece. Love it to peeces! 🐭🐭❤️
I swear it was not me who helped him. I mean, would I EVER do such a thing, just because he is rather nice…?????
Aha! Fancy Drac just a bit do you?
He has a certain something….hmmm. xxxxxxxx
He does, indeed, Holly. We must be wary of him, until we know more about him and who is helping him. The AGMs must be protected.
Yes, that’s so…We must keep on eye out for Shey , I feel she’s taken a fancy to him and he can’t be trusted not to whisk her away. 😊
Tell you what, nobly I will of course take it upon myself to find out who is helping him,. I feel it i my duty…
You are a darling AGM Shey . xxxx
You are not going to like who the devil it is!
PBH has her hands full on this one, with 2 bad boys who are determined to own the AGMs.. There will be no descending gracefully into Otherworld.
As I write, she searches for a back door! xxxxxx
YOu appreciate Holly, how selflessly I sacrifice myself …
No wonder DracGoth is infatuated with you!
Drama Queens….both!
He’s whisking!!!!
Eeeee! We must stop the whisking!!
True! Without AGMs… there’s no fashion shows.This dilemma has MANY horns!
But now I hear how bad he is… I take it all back.
Lol! We’re going to put an end to all the Drac rumors. 😂
Indeed. I am shocked by his behaviour. And I cannot have the AGMs in danger like this.
Let’s get in our bikes 🏍 and ride
Let’s take ‘tm down x
Fast as I can draw!!!!!
Well, at least you spoke up about that creature being a fake SheyGoth!
The thing is, although DG enjoys his 3 am trips to your room, he is determined to have you back in Otherworld, and keep you there forever!
You must realize his partner in crime has claimed the other AGMs for himself.
Unfortunately, they are fading away into Otherworld.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
OH NO… NO…. I had no idea he was this bad. I am done. Tell me how to get the AGms back xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Of course DracGoth knows the Agms are very special ladies.
…. which is why he chose Evilomlap (the snake) to be his partner in crime! They have engaged in a nefarious clandestine plot!
I was so excited to have feathers in my hat, Holly! Resa embeds our personality into her creations. How did she know I love hats, feathers and palazzo pants? She just knows.
Feathers are definitely your style dear Rebecca. She does know, years of designing fashion has given her a sixth sense! You look positively divine.
I feel positively divine.
Because you are! 🌷
You are perfectly gorgeous. I do love your style x
Thank you, Shey! Resa is a brilliant couturier who knows how to create the glamour and elegance for the remarkable AGMs. I’m now perfecting my walk so that the palazzo pants swirl as I promenade with the AGMs.
My dear you have no need of perfecting anything. You are already jsut that.
Wait ’til you see who DG got to help him!
PBH has her super hero work cut out for her on this one.
The AGMs are B&W. This is not good. Could they disappear altogether?
RR is uber-pi$$ed. She spent a lot of cash on these colourful gowns. No wonder she went “Crazy on You”!
So happy you’re here!
Meece, I was writing this comment yesterday, when N came home. He had some not good news about one of the bass players who comes to jam. He’s an amazing player.
Threw my entire night off. Completely forgot about blogging.
Will send a mail!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
We must discover who is in cahoots ( love that word) with DG! I hopes it’s not who I think it is or … poor Shey, she’s been looked at askew. We must do something.
I’m very unnerved about the bad news. Waiting for mail . xoxoxo
Will send it now, and come back to comment!
❤️
Okay… sent the mail!
You may have guessed who the snake in the grass is! Although last we saw him he was imprisoned in a picture frame!
Once things settle down, I’ll send the ideas for the next instalment!
(Hisss…cough, cough)
You’ll love how PBH saves the day!
I archived your song choices! xoxoxo
I’m such a ninny, I don’t know who the whisker is. Let me sleep on it. Yeah for our AGM songs! You’re the best, Meece! xoxoxo
Meece, I’ll be sending notes on the next ep. soon.
We can discuss it then! xoxoxo
Ok 🐭🐭
Very fascinating. 🙂
Thank you, dear LDN! Wait until the next episode!
Now, all I have to do is draw it! xoxo 😀
The drawing and the words — both absolutely magnificent!
Meant to say “drawings,” plural. 🙂
:D… understood!!!
Thank you, Dave!
I guess I’m still a kid in some ways. I adore stories with pictures. LOL!
Let me get my pencils sharpened, and see what happens!
Dearest Sorceress,
You have created yet another fantabulous story and how you made us all look so beautiful is beyond me. Even in black and white. Your art is truly enchanting.
Can’t wait to see what happens next!
Coming out of being in hiding for such obvious reasons to say …EPIC. I love the story. All the gowns are gorgeous and so is our dazzling art director. YOu will of course know I would NEVER EVER have anything more to do with that smexy..I mean dreadful DracGoth… and whoever it was that helped him , well darling, it certainly was not me.
Yes, you are an innocent victim of DG’s smexy… erm… dreadful passion!
Unfortunately, things get worse, before getting better!
PBH is on her way (as soon as I can draw her). Magic trees will have to become involved. It’s just one big mess! xoxoxoxo
Reblogged this on A Dalectable Life and commented:
The lovely Resa is at it again!
You must follow along the latest AGM’s adventure!
Thank you, AGM Dale! xoxoxo
All so wonderful!
😀 Thank you, Becky!!!
You’re very welcome!
Great share. Congratulations to Resa and thanks to Dale.
Thank you, John! Did you know AGM Dale has a magic tree? She also has Thunder Power!
I did not know that. Would like to see that.
It’s coming up! Need to draw pics first. 😀
I’ll look forward to that, Resa.
I was so excited to have feathers in my hat, Holly! Resa embeds our personality into her creations. How did she know I love hats, feathers and palazzo pants? She just knows.
I write the magic, then it comes back to me when I draw!
Thank you Resa for this brilliant post that has colour, drama, and a heart-stopping cliffhanger. You are right – there are forces working against the Art Gowns Models. I have great faith in PBH. She has the strength and determination to overcome and clear up this “travesty of creativity.” I LOVE the AGMs. And I love being the Art Director.
Yay!
Yes, there is a massive rescue attempt coming up.
Thank goodness Tim sent all those pencils!
Of course PBH will have a new outfit for the rescue!
Oh, Resa, you did it again. How fabulous and what an honor to be included in this incredible drama. I love the artwork, the gowns and the mystery. It’s all wonderful. Thank you so very much. Holly nailed the song.
Yes!!!
Holly did nail the song!
It’s a lot of fun to do these stories.
They wouldn’t be the same without AGM GI, and her magic tree!
Well, time to buy more paper!
I got lots of drawing to do! oxo

Awesome cast and brilliant designer! Love, love, love!
Thank you, Cindy! Lots of fun here! ❦
Love this brightness and color.
Thank you, Brenda! More to come!
amazing
Thank you, Beth!
Guess I better start drawing episode 2! LOL!
Excellent and magical… 🤗🥰💖🙏
Thank you so much! xoooxxxxooo
You are so talented, Resa! And what a fabulous story–maybe the best one yet.
I hope they have their colors returned!
Thank you, Merril!
It will be awhile, but I’m sure PBH will be able to handle the rescue, with the help of the magic trees. Oh, also, she is getting a new outfit for the rescue!
I can’t believe PBH is the only super hero who changes outfits!
It’s a concept whose time has come!
The other super heroes don’t have their own dress designer. 😀
Hahahaha! 😂
Well they should! Their franchises make enough money, and there are a lot of unemployed dress designers out here… I think?
🤣
What a wonderful story, Resa, and your drawings, colourful and otherwise, are amazing.
It’s a lot of fun Robbie!
Now, to get more drawing paper! 😉🙃
WOW!!!! I can say this: whoever tried to sabotage color did not succeed! I can see so much color, an explosion of color!!!!!! Rebecca did a wonderful job as a host!
Resa, your Art Gowns are incredibly beautiful and though they seem gray, I can see all the colors, and it’s paradise!
Huge hugs to the wonderful artist [YOU!], the amazing host, Rebecca and all the AGMs [so proud being one of them!]
🌷👒👠🎀👗🔆🎉💐🌟🌸🌺🌹🌷💐🌼🌻🌺🌹🌷🌟💐🎉🔆👗🎀👠👒🌷
Correction: Amazing host RR and director Rebecca! 😉 xoxoxo
…and breathtaking Tangle-Heart tree, Tim!
This shot of the Tangle-Heart is perfect!
It definitely IS!!!!!!
True… but we all know what you mean.
Although I must say RR is very pi$$ed off!
She is morphing into PBH, as I type! xoxoxoxoxo
A ha ha haaaaaa…..
…errrr…. I mean YIKES!!!! Did I do this?!!!!
AGM Marina!
Rebecca did a fab job keeping the show going!
I just hope the AGMs don’t vanish completely.
Unfortunately DracGoth enlisted the help of a total snake in the grass. (hisss….cough…cough).
I’m so happy you are here! All the AGMs mean a lot to me! & Tim & the tress and could it be any more fantastic?
The next episode will tell!
xoxoxo 👒👠🎀👗xoxoxo 👒👠🎀👗xoxoxo 👒👠🎀👗xoxoxo 👒👠🎀👗xoxoxo 👒👠🎀👗xoxoxo 👒👠🎀👗
Every time I think “wow, it couldn’t get any better than this”, you post something else, and it does, so…. you got me always looking forward to your next creation!
🤗❤🤗🌟🤗❤🤗🌟🤗❤🤗🌟🤗❤🤗🌟🤗❤
So proud to be among your wonderful AGMs!!!!
Proud to have you here!
Working on the story board for the next adventure! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Wow Resa!
What a great share of your amazing gowns and story.
Love it all and love that song.
Have a great day❣️
Wonderful story and gorgeous gowns in color or B&W! You rock, Resa! 💜
Thank you so very much, Lauren!
I can hardly wait to draw the next episode! xo💜xo
Beautiful, amazing and colorful, loved it and when you through Heart in, I was over the moon. 😉
Yay! Actually, Holly (RR, PBH & AGM Holly) picks out all the songs we use in the stories. She really nailed it this time!
Great taste in music. I think Nancy can still do the high kicks when she plays.
Agree!!!!!!
What a fun post! I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Oh goody! I’m getting more paper any day, and will begin drawing the next instalment!
I look forward to it!
Resa, your are colorful, even when there is only black and white. Thanks for featuring Rebecca, who exudes vibrant colors too.
Ha. For a moment I thought I had slipped into my own colorless Realm of the Dead. I’m sure you and Rebecca will bring us back to technicolor soon.
As always I adore your gowns and drawings of them. Hugs on the wing.
Ah, Thank you, Teagan!
Rebecca is like a curator of art, so she just had to be the Art Director!
What you slipped into was the realm of pencils.
During Stay at Home orders, I was down to pencil stumps. Timothy was amazing, and sent me a gift of pencils.
Many of these drawings are unbridled glee drawings, when the pencils arrived.
We have a wonderful blog community!
Beauty? Check!
Sexy? Check!
Funky deliciousness? Check!
It’s official, this rocks the casbah!
Another fab show with the lovely ladies and their stunning gowns.
Thank you, Frank!
Are you somewhere, walking on a beach?
Unfortunately no beaches in Cincinnati.
Ah!
Will yo be blogging soon?
Sorry to say, not sure when …. but I’m currently up at Sorryless.
Gotcha!
I’ll be by manyana. Take care, Frank!
And another round of applause. 👏
Thank you kind friend! xoxo
Bring on the colour! Your sketches are awesome. The other day, I wore a black shirt and my husband commented that I never wear black. I thought, well that’s a great thing! I looked at my wardrobe and there are lots of bright colours in it. That made me feel good ~ Bright is cheerful 😀
