Gabrielle by Mo Manning

I love using Mo's gorgeous young women to play with adding "sparkle" I've always loved glittery things. This time I'm using Mo's Gabrielle. 

I had started this image earlier but the spots from the
white Posca paint pen I used were bigger than I wanted and then dropped a huge blog of paint right on her bodice. I tried to clean it up but wasn't too happy with it so tore it up. In my I always prefer to re-start rather than "fix". The colours on this picture aren't true as I took the photo under artificial light.

I did end up taping her together and gave fixing her a quick go - to see if I could - but I was always going to re-colour. As you can see the paint pen I used second time around was much finer and gave me a much nicer look. I also decided to go with the softer look of white trims.

Gillie by Mo Manning

This gorgeous image is called Gillie and she's one of my many, many favourites from Mo. I just love her sweet face, but it's that fabulous fly away hair that really makes me smile. I think she it makes her look a little more magical by giving that amazing hair colourful streaks.

 

Carolina by Mo Manning

We're in the middle of Summer here in Australia and I was inspired to use this gorgeous image because our veggie patches are providing is with some lovely fresh produce at the moment. This is Carolina and I have to say she "grows" much better carrots than we've ever been able to manage 😂
