29 faces, May 7

meet little miss irky..... i wanted to have play around with some oriental eyes just to try something different .... i have also had an upset tummy today and am still feeling quite irky , funny that she turned a bit green too ;)
also just in case anyone wants to know, les asked if i used something to seal the oil pastels.....yes i do, normally a spray fixative but ive run out... i just used a matt spray varnish and it worked fine. if you dont use a sealer of some sort, the oil crayons resist all other mediums you try to put over top.... also i love that you get this wonderful translucency when you add the spray...:)

Sorry you are feeling punky today Jenxo.
Love your little Asian girl. You captured her face quite well and you must have been feeling green as you created her. LOL
Thank you so much for blog love and commenting on my faces.
Not really sure I have a style yet but it is fun finding it.
