They have arrived!! Yahoo......I always worry! Let me introduce you to Lady #34, Maria #2 from Australia. (Not to be confused with the original and imaginary Lady #4 Maria, or Lady #31 Maria #1 from Australia.) I'm thinkin' there must be lots of lovely Maria's in Australia, huh? I bet I haven't seen the last of them yet.........at least I hope not! So without further adoo:
And here is the original photo that she sent to me:
Then, I grabbed this photo off her blog. And you can read there what the unpackaging looked like. (All ladies come in this same package.)
Then, we have another lovely lady from the same country. In fact, they are from the same area in Australia......if you can believe? I wonder if they know each other??? Please meet Anita. Anita is Lady #35.
Anita wanted her portrait on a neutral background rather than the normal white to match her home decor. And here is the original photo that Anita sent to me:
So there you have it! A few more lovely ladies and believe it or not, I'm working on a few more. Yeah!! I really love making ladies! It's almost a challenge for me to see how alike I can get the drawing and then when I get the colors on the background, and all the embellishments sewn on, everything just seems to come alive! It almost saddens me to send them off.....
More next time................until then, have some fun! And if you live around me, stay warm. Our high is supposed to be 7F today. Brrrrr!!!!!

It is wonderful. You do such a beautiful job on them. Who knew there were so many Marias in Australia????
I hope your ladies were sent off to warmer climates! We are sunny and low 60s today. Do you want me to tell you more? lol Ah, two more lovely ladies joining the ranks! There's going to be a book of portraits someday.
They are so beautiful! I absolutely cannot wait for mine!!! I'm sending you warm thoughts (it's been in the 60's here).

Your ladies are popping up all over Australia :o) It's fun to go visiting blogs and see their faces as their profiles :o) hugs and keep up the great work xx
Wow, you are certainly kept busy with all of these ladies.
More beautiful ladies Carol.
I think it is probably good that you send them off, it could get a bit disturbing having them all in one place looking at you.

Definitely will have to drop a few hints to my hubby. I so love your portraits. Hugs.....
Both ladies are gorgeous Carol.
Love the "Other Maria" and Anita...
Looking forward to seeing lady No 36
What fun! I am was so tickled to read Maria #34's blog and the comments both on your blog and hers. You are so multi-talented, Carol! Absolutely gorgeous smocked baby clothes, then, quilts, mug-rugs, mini's, amazing birdies, and PORTRAITS! Wow! Hugs and blessings, Karen
Mega Ditto what Karen just said above me! Your range of talent just blows me away, Carol.
Every single portrait is different yet all have similar characteristics. So fun to see each one with it's owner!
BRAVO!!
