What I want to do with the little artist's mannequin, who will be serving as the artist in my studio, is give her some color.  I don't want to cover her up so that you can't tell what she is...just personify her a little bit...simply.

I started coloring her with Sharpies. I know it won't give me as nice a finish as paint will, but it dries super quick, so I can pull her joints apart, color them, and then let them snap shut again.  I had thought about taking her apart, painting her, then gluing her back together in a permanent pose...she'd be a lot easier to alter that way...but then what happens if I change my mind about where she's going to be positioned in the studio?

She needs to be wearing a cardigan (because I'm always wearing a cardigan) so I'm going to crochet her one.  I have to teach myself how to crochet first, but I watched a few you-tube videos last weekend and it doesn't look all the complicated...if I do it all in one simple stitch anyway.

I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do with her feet yet...probably fashion or color on striped socks.

I'm really stuck on the color of her hair.  If I didn't change my hair color every other week it would be a much simpler decision...but I love that the possibilities are endless.  I'm leaning toward pink right now...or bright blue...hmm... although...remember blurple?
