One of a kind

There is only one Melanie.
(Well, only one in our house.)

She's also the only one I know that would want me to trace an eraser for her new book.

"Can you trace my eraser?"
"Yes.
...
Why?"
"Just 'cause.
...
Can I see my picture?"
(Meaning-can I see this goofy face that I've been posing for the camera?)


Melanie spends a lot of time hopping off her chair and finding things that she may need when she finally does get busy.

But once she has all the materials that she deems necessary then in a dedicated, and oftentimes, hurried way she will do her work.

Melanie prefers to use anything glamorous or pink or purple, but she'll try anything new or different too. After all, why try something again that you've already done once?

And, she loves layering and mixing! If the yellow she chose was too bright for her eraser drawing, she is quite willing to go over top of it with white until it satisfies her, or until she decides it won't get any lighter no matter how long and hard she tries.
