1893 Bathing Suit in White and Blue with Bathing Cap
Click for larger version (PNG); click for PDF version. Click here for the list of dolls.
I left it until too late, so I wanted to do something simple for today… This is just based off of a fashion plate of an 1893 bathing suit that I thought was extremely cute, even the silly little cap.
Still no one has guessed my favorite Prismacolor…
And also, the voting for the first week of Halloween costumes is still on, so don’t forget to vote! Feel free to suggest topics for the other weeks, too…

That’s adorable!
I’ll guess – again – white? Or the metallic silver and metallic gold.

This is very cool! I love the blue and white together. : )

Thanks everyone! (and good guess Colleen but not right ;) )
Monica, you’ll be interested to know – this is one I had to play with the color balance sliders a lot to get it right. Blues especially seem to scan out completely different from the originals… It looks pretty good, but not as nice as the original, I think.

Okay, another guess then.
Either Light Green or Pale Sage.

Can I just check that “blender” doesn’t count as a prismacolour colour?
By Liana, September 28, 2009 @ 7:03 am
Glad you liked it, Melanie Ann! :)
Amelia, yep, I’m not thinking of the blender. Now, if I had asked “which colored pencil do I use the most”… that would be the blender for sure ;)

The pencil has finally been guessed (aquamarine) – thanks everyone for guessing!
