WOW!!...I have so many great characters ready to put on paper after all your comments!!...It was really hard to pick just one winner!......After reading one comment in particular, I just knew immediately that I HAD to have this illustration in my portfolio!!....

Congradulations CHERI HIGDON!!!!....

Her comment was...
I think images with curly hair are the very best to color because they add dimension-I mean lots of wild curly hair-and probably red. Of course to go with that you need green eyes with little flecks of gold in them and freckles across the bridge of the nose. I'm thinking maybe a tomboy that is trying to push her wild hair up in a cap to play football with the boys. She's trying to be one of them with her baggy, loose, ratty clothes but her pure female essence just can't help but shine through as she is bent to either catch or toss a football. You could easily then add a boy to this scene that is trying to act cool and not notice she is actually a girl...like she's just one of the guys but he's not quite pulling it off. Don't know if I put this in words very well but I can see it in my mind very well...

I thought she put it into words perfectly!!  I am so excited to draw this fun scene out...and I even get to throw a little guy in there...I will be working on it this weekend and post a pic on Monday!:)...Cheri, I will contact you for shipping info:)

Thanks eveyone for participating!!...I have some fabulous new ideas and don't be surprised if some of my future characters look familiar to you;)...

Well, I have two little people home with me today, as returning to school has put Niamh under the weather.  She woke up today with a crackly voice and sore throat.  I have sort of come to expect it...Seems that being 'round all the kids (and their germs;) always gets to her that first month of school...Guess she just needs to build up that immune system for the year:)

Have a busy weekend ahead, with *new artwork* to do;), a church dinner (CRAB dinner...It's my favorite church related activity of the year!...Crabs are my #1 meal!)...and a birthday party
for a cousin:)...Will be fun!...Hope all your weekends are great as well!!

XOXO, Krista

Hi Krista. I saw that Sugar Nellie is producing a few images of your illustrations into rubber stamps. I plan to buy them all. On your other illustrations that won't be made into rubber stamps, would you consider selling them as digi stamps? I LOVE all you images, and would love to color all of them! Please email me!

Hi Krista!!! I would love to have the opportunity to buy some of yours digi stamps, just in case!!! LOL I love the eyes and all your characters and as I live too far from the big centers of rubber stampping, it would be wonderful (and much easier) to have all them on my hands!!!
I would love to help you selling them, for sure!!!
Congratulations!! You are a very talented artista!!
