Ever since I hurt myself, I've not been in the mood to create much. But, I forced myself to make something today. Last night, I saw the sickly pallor of my kiddo a result of too many computer games because Mommy just didn't feel well enough to entertain him and decided that we must absolutely do crafts today. So we did some peg person painting.
While persuing the random geekery section in Etsy at the beginning of summer vacay, I came across these cute little hand-painted peg people in some of my favorite characters. I posted some of them on my FB wall (Dr. Who, Ghostbusters, LOTR). I decided that I need to make a Jem and the Holograms set. With access to my beloved childhood fave on the HUB Network, I became especially fired up about all things Jem.
I sketched out the Jem and the Holograms characters on my Fashion Girlz sketchpad the other day and decided to start with my fave Hologram, Aja (pronounced AH-JZAH). I've always been drawn to her Asian look. She's probably one of the reasons I am so into Asia's style and aestethic in general.
So I found some Aja pics online, sketched her up, and painted her up as a peg person. Is it my best? Nah. My hands and arms are shaky due to my pain but not bad. The great thing about paint is it can always be painted over again.
Aja is currently perched amongst my nail polish collection in the Bran Cave. I think she looks marvelous betwixt the rainbow-colored bottles. She is anxiously awaiting her bandmates!
