A year of 5 ago I frequently bought Disney Princess Magazines for their cute covers, posters and backs that at least once a year featured the Arabian desert rose. At some point the magazines focused more on the big 4, Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel and Belle ignoring Jasmine altogether. The magazines have been a great source for me to create some beautiful wallpapers, see for yourself the Wallpaper Gallery page.
But I was never able to use my favorite picture the scan has been sitting on my computer for years and I’ve looked at it hundreds of times thinking and honor the majesty of the artwork. Tonight I saw this really nice wallpaper using artwork from another issue inspiring me to take another shot at it.

LJ’r Christina shared 50 Disney Princess bases for icons c.q avatars. The Jasmine ones are famliar to me. In 2007 I made a wallpaper from the center poster from the Disney Princess Magazine June issue.
Tiana and Giselle are in the batch.

Click on the image for a larger version then click right and print the coloring page. You might want to stretch the fit papier if the coloring page turns out to small.
Taken from Disney Princess Scans. Good site for the other Disney Princessess, they’ve scans of covers, artwork, wallpapers and coloringpages. Have Fun!

crystal_style shared her new Princess 2009 wall calender on d_princess LJ. Typical all the girls get new gorgus dresses and poor Jas is left with the stupid pose and dress she has for years. Why did the creators include her in the first place I wonder. Also on d_princess are scans of a cute Belle coloring page in the December issue of Prinsess.

Michele, a loyal Streetrat vistor and fellow Jasmine fanatic, has put up 6 Disney Princess Magazine on sale on Ebay. Five of them are English and one hails from Japan.
Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen Jasmine on a Dutch DPM cover since a long time. Not since the March 2008 issue has Jasmine been decorating a cover while Cinderella, Ariel, Belle and Aurora are on it all the time.

LJ user and grapic artist Aralana published a set of Jasmine icons using artwork from Japanese Disney Princess Magazines that where scanned by Kangofu recently.

Replaced the PNG files with JPG because PNG can’t be set as desktop wallpaper with Windows set wallpaper wizard.

Kangofu put up a bunch of scans from Japanese Princess Magazine’s on her LiveJournal. The collection includes the main 6 princesses + a bit Mulan. The artwork varies from magazine covers to stickers.

Jasmine is present with a nice cover that sadly is so crowded with text garbage it can be used for anything else. That lovely outfit returns as a full body shot on a greeting card, great for a wallpaper or icon. I’m drooling on a side profile card from Tokyo Disney Sea. The card’s back is even better, it has a porcelain-like image of the Arabian princess.
The rest is standard Japanese artwork, nice but not that special.

I took the card images and made wallpapers see: Two High-Quality Original Princess Jasmine Wallpapers

mich311 shared her Disney Princess Magazine cover collection she gathered over the years. All the girls are covered but Aurora, Cinderella, Belle and Ariel got most exposure. Their dresses range from amazing to mehw. I’m in love with this picture of Aurora holding a bouquet but I hate it when they dress mermaid Ariel, it looks so odd

From the few Jasmine covers in that list I found most to come from me. But in the ones that don’t I did see gems.

Jasmine with unicorn from Sep-Oct 2004 English and Jasmine in purple from Aug- Sept 2004 issue

This year’s 12th Donald Duck has an advertisment for the March issue of Disney Princess Magazine with Jasmine on the cover.
It’s been a while since the last time Jas was featured on a Princess cover. The last time we saw the Arabian beauty was the December 2007 issue .

It seems Jasmine gets lesser coverage with each year passing since Princess was first published in Holland in 2004. An activity on how to make Jassy’s headband and a 4 page comic is all Jasmine gets this month. The cover image isn’t that great either it seems the artists cant get her face right that pink/purple looks very nice on her though but then again she always has purple outifts with pink accents in the DP line.
The leading lady is Belle with a comic, 2 games, 2 activities, poster and coloring pages. Mulan and Aurora get some exposure; Cindy has a comic and coloring page plus an activity or 2.

Jasmine’s comic takes place during preparations of the yearly royal parade held at the palace. Jasmine suggests holding it at the market this year, auditions are held and decorations are made. Finally parade day is here and all the rehearsing goes down the drain when the animal’s trip over each other and the artists have to run for their lives or being crushed beneath and elephant. As usual the princess saves the day and her father much embarrassment as she leads the parade dancing through Agrabah.
I send Michele scans for translation and post on her myspace.

Since we’re lacking a coloring page in this issue I made one myself. It’s from the last frame of the comic. I’ll put it in its own post later this week.

Sleeping Beauty is the star of the next issue.

A big anniversary like this week can’t go by without an appropriate wallpaper. Based on an image in the most recent Princess magazine comes A Whole Old World Anniversary Wallpaper.

Sorry just a 1024 by 768 pixel version. Set the wallpaper as your desktop by clicking on the thumbnail to load the full screen version then right click and choose Set as background .
