JUST THE TWO OF US x 2 - WHAT??

Here's where the peeps stand in this one - the same peeps x 2 :)



This one is finished.  I like the green but am not crazy about the Lunar Black behind them - I think the bg should be smoothe to offset the texture on the peeps - and I'll make sure I do that with the next one. 

This one is on 140# Arches cold press paper, 9" x 11"







This one is not finished (obviously).  It's on Twinrocker 140# cold press paper, 7" x 7"

It has a pale pale Verditer Blue wash all around that you can't see - it just looks white here.  I will leave that as the background but will think about another color for the foreground and shadows. 

You can really see the texture in this one.

Love the peeps. I hate marshmallows but must eat a few peeps every Easter. (And, once the package is open, they have to be eaten.)

Thanks, Katherine! They are certainly in all the stores right now - bring a few home and try it yourself, it's fun!

Thanks, Hallie :) I know what you mean about them but when they are a bit dried out, they are pretty good as long as you don't eat more than 1 or 2! ha ha
