Sugar and Spice and all things nice

Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins.

After I finished painting my grandson's wall mural, I got started on the one for my granddaughter's room.  My daughter-in-law wanted two girls painted on the wall, almost life-size.  I got a large sketch pad and began sketching.  Once I finished, I taped all the pieces together and then traced what I drew and transferred that to the wall.  My granddaughter's name is Sophia.  So we named the one "The everyday Sophia" and the other "Princess Sophia".  I went through her closet to find some of the clothes she actually wore and that's what I used for painting the everyday Sophia. 


This next photo puts the size into perspective...




Glitter paint was used in the crown and parts of the gown...




This is the fairy I painted by the light switch for her room.  The wings have glow-in-the-dark paint which light when the room is dark.
