"I think every person has their own identity and beauty.
Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same, it would be boring."
-- Tila Tequila
If you've seen some of these girls on Instagram, then you know I've been trying my best to keep the creativity flowing by creating quick sofa sketches (new term; I kinda like it ;) whenever I can. Some of them I've completed in 10 minutes and some have taken much longer. But either way, each are in pencil, with my only other tools being an eraser and blending stumps.
Along the way, I have amassed quite a few sketches. I know that there are several that will eventually turn into completed, painted pieces but in the meantime, I wanted a way to store the ones I like to be used for future reference. I decided to take my favorites and turn them into a visual deck of cards (of sorts). I selected 9 sketches that I have deemed, "My Girly Guide" and went to work cutting them out and adding them to pieces of decorative cardboard I cut from a storage box for wine. To keep them together, I punched holes in the corner of each and attached them with a chain. I can now have them all in one place, all at a glance. Wanna see?
Tidy, right? It was fun to make and if I'm lucky, the deck will continue to grow and grow. All I need now is to find a longer chain. . . .
Thanks for taking a peek,

What a brilliant idea!! Looks like the start of a children's book could be in the mix.....just a thought!!
They are beautiful in all their individuality!

LOVE your girly guide - each girl different but each girl still says, "Kristin"!
I like this idea too. They are all just beautiful and different. Giggles says a children's book and I agree. Have a wonderful day/evening/weekend.
Super idea, Kristin. They're wonderful faces, all of them.

Georguses faces and wonderful colors,its a great idea.
What a great idea. Love your guide - my trouble is I can never re-create things I've done, am rubbish at it. That might be something I need to practice. The 4th one down is a dead ringer for one of my youngest daughters little friends - that made me smile :)
what a wonderful way to keep your growing collection of beauties. Your portraits are breathtaking-so expressive!!
GORGEOUS Kristin ! Love them all ... and they looks so great on the cardboard!
