Today I painted a new lady in my journal. I wanted to play around with skin tone and I also added a cheeky wink!! I really love painting these ladies and find that my favourite part of the process is decorating the hair and eyes :0)

Paint Party Friday - Cheeky
Hi guys, thank you for your well wishes last week, we're all feeling back to normal again thank goodness. I've had a busy week getting the house ready for stage 2 of our renovations (bathrooms) hurrah!!!! And I've been working on some new pieces. I sold 3 pieces through my on line shop this week which is very exciting for me!!! A wooden tile pendant ('Determination') a Japanese paper glass pendant and a ring that I made recently from a print of my koi fish painting. It feels so good to have them go off to new homes and it also means that I can make more things without feeling guilty hehehe.

The wink was a bit of a challenge but fun to do!!! :0) I shall be trying to get around to visit you all this weekend before the house gets crazy with builders knocking down walls etc!!! Hope you are all having a fantastic week! :0)

Love your Ladies ~ well done and love the wink! Happy PPF ~ Carol (Share the Creative Journey) ~ ^_^
It's great to have an outlet while there are people stomping through your house knocking out walls.
Also keeps you from getting as many glimpses of Contractor Crack.
Love the colours you've used on your lady...just gorgeous.. congrats on your sales...great feeling
i am a sucker for dots around eyes.
i am not ever able to do much with different skin tones. If im not going for UBER SNOW WHITE then i am totally out of luck.

Hello Nicola! Sounds like you have been busy!
Love what you are doing here with the eyes and hair!!! Decorating the hair is my favorite part of drawing ladies too! I really like how her skin turned out too!
Glad you are feeling better and can't wait to hear more about your reno's.
