    Oh yes, I do understand where you’re coming from, it all starts to get rather ridiculous and the pressure on women to be beautiful and slim is just really crazy. I love the little soap and I love the drawing you did! She looks defiant and happy in her skin hehehe

    Love it love it love it. I was grinning from ear to ear when I saw it. I am grinning still. the lines as rolls technique adds to the playfulness of this Soap Muse of yours. There is a Chris Larkin (Far Side) look to this, so it is immediately tickling the funny bone. Adorable! :-) Maybe yuou could do a series? Cheers, RVG

  • Barbara Glatzeder replied

    LOL, I love The Far Side ..!! Actually, I was thinking of doing a series after completing this one, but there’s so much to do, so little time … hahaha, have to finish 3 portraits I am working on, but I’m sure I’ll pick it up again ;-))) Thanks for encouraging me!

  • Rhinovangogh

    Rhinovangogh

    Work hard; good luck with the portraits. Let us see them when they are done.Tschuss, Rhino

  • Barbara Glatzeder replied

    oh yes, the first one’s of Mike Scott (the Waterboys) and it’s turning out nicely … then there’s Marley, and Aretha … and I definitely want to try Siouxie, too :-))) Da hab ich mir was vorgenommen! lol
