It all started with a mis-print...
I wanted to colour another Conie Fong image and thought I'd have a go at 'Ella Fleur".
You can find this digital image for sale in Conie Fong's Etsy shop. Here's the link:
This is such a gorgeous image, and I had an idea to give her auburn hair. I love auburn hair!
It turned out that I had a bit of free time to make a video or two, so I created a combination of live and pre-recorded videos. Each of them showed the next steps in colouring Ella. On the way through, I asked for input on colours to use.
The end result, after days of section-colouring, was lovely.

Check out the card I made, utilising the turquoise colour!
