Wendy found it to be less stressful to wear a sponge on her head than to worry about the number of towels she was using. . .
Sometimes these girls seem to take on a life of their own.
Intended for this girl to be blonde from the beginning and in my mind painting her hair light yellow on top would look like highlights. . .
Decided to add texture with some squiggles that ended up being strange little holes - or some kind of weird brain material.
Found a couple of fun book quotes after Caleb commented that it looked like a sponge on her head. . . BTW - These Stabilo pencils are a favorite of mine to add details at the end of my pictures - they write on paper, glass, etc. and are water-soluble. Have every color but the green one - not sure how that one got overlooked.
Made four girls with the same stenciled background (Crafters Workshop ECHOES stencil designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer). Definitely got my money's worth even if I never use it again but really - what are the chances of that?

great looking portraits! They remind me of stamps, with that great color! {:-Deb
How utterly delightful all the portraits are, but sponge-head truly captures my heart.
Well now, those are so cuties! And I love the use of the same background with different colors - and her freckles!
SO happy to have you play along with the Summer of Color this year - thank you!! xoxo
