His skin is delightfully iridescent. Oldest daughter Rachel, who has long had a bug-a-boo about aliens, shuddered when she saw it (though grandson Corbin actually supervised and gave helpful suggestions during the painting process), so I think I nailed the creepy factor. But to me, he just looks inquisitive, not threatening. What do you think? Does he have a brain sucker or an anal probe in the other hand?
Then I tried painting some ribbons I got in a scrap pack at Hobby Lobby. They are short lenghts of wide ribbon, some satin, some grosgrain. I was afraid the grosgrain would be too bumpy to paint on, but it worked okay. I like the satin better. These could be used in a CQ or they may become bookmarks. I've signed up for a craft show in November and I could use some quick, small, and inexpensive items.

Your ribbons are terrific, Janet! And the alien is....well, CREEPY. Congrats on the commission!
anal probe? ewwwwwwww
I love the painting you are doing. I bet it is so exciting to find you can do it so well!!
Janet, your painting is awesome, you are quite the artist! What kind of paints are you using? nice alien, I might even let him follow me home! Debbie (Maine)
I tried to wait until I saw him in person but I couldn't stand the suspense (LOL). I love him and like the way he's standing behind the tree. The ribbons are wonderful also -- I'm sure they'll sell at your shows.
