Doing these cute long neck girls has been something of a hobby for me! A secret hobby, that not too many people in my life knew about!

Doing them on camera was quite another thing for me though! Talk about SCARY!! 🙂 I was sure that I was going to have some kind of panic attack and chicken out!! Thankfully that didn’t happen!!!

After all is said and done, I am very happy with the way that she has turned out – although, I can see a lot things that I can improve on next time, but that is what practice is for, isn’t it??

This sentiment was sooooo perfect for what was going on in my head while I was working on this little girl! I just kept thinking that “if I quit and started over doing a spread that was easier, no one would ever know!” but that was thing! I WOULD KNOW!!! So, I pushed through the fear and did it anyway!!

All in all, I would say that is a VERY GOOD thing!! I hope you enjoyed today’s video!! 🙂

If you would like to see my try anything specific in my art journal, like a new technique, or color scheme, or whatever, let me know and I will see what I can do! Also, if you have any questions or comments for me, just leave them in the comments section! I would be happy to hear from you!!

Here is to a FABULOUS day!! 🙂

If you want to have a different life, live differently!
