Description: This portrait is a head and shoulder depiction of a young girl with a peach face. She has yellow oval eyes, and they are covered with clear plastic ovals connected with a thin magenta strip, representing glasses. Her mouth is made of a soft blue textured piece of cloth, and multihued green sewing floss creates the look of bushy eyebrows. Two white cotton inch-thick stripes bound with white and brown thread down the left side of the face represent the girl's hair. She wears a shirt made out of soft, cranberry velour with a round neckline. Thin blue and black borders surround the picture on all sides. The background is solid white.
