She came out alright.  Needs a few touch ups, but I thought I'd gotten it all. That Ritdye neon green is utter crap.

Great job! Despite that green dye :rolleyes:. I love her name and theme...her symbol reminds me of the Mexican Star pinata I made in my 8th grade Spanish class.

About that neon green dye: I recently googled something about neon dyes and came across this article that I thought was interesting, and you probably will too...it explains why we both had that blueish scum around the pot when using the neon dye. I tried to screenshot the article, but the words came out tiny and garbled when I uploaded it to my third-party site, so I just typed out what it said in the spoiler:
Spoiler
There are limited ways to dye cotton with neon colors. Only yellow is available as a reactive dye for cotton.
When mixed with  other non-neon shades, the neon effect becomes weaker or vanishes, although fluorescent lime green shades can be achieved by incorporating a small bright turquoise shading component. Fluorescent colors on cotton can also be achieved by dyeing pre-treated garments with basic dyes. However, these products appear to be only a very tiny part of the market.
