The internet is obsessed with this teen who transforms herself into iconic female characters


Tons of girls have an Instagram account full of self-portraits, and Annelies van Overbeek is no exception. But there's a twist: the 17-year-old fashion blogger from Belgium transforms herself into iconic female characters from all ages. From Sabrina's Audrey Hepburn to The Great Gatsby's Carey Mulligan, there's no look that Annelies can't accomplish with the right make-up, hairstyle, outfit and accessories.

Her IG account has accumulated more than 60,000 followers, many of whom have expressed deep admiration for her ability to manipulate her facial expressions to completely turn herself into vintage and historic personalities. Check out more of her photos and give her a follow @bewitchedquills.

Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains.

Print out and fold your own paper cameras

Totally want to make some of these Olympus mirrorless cameras with my daughter this weekend. They don't take pictures, but they sure would make my little girl very happy.

Enjoy! [h/t: Pop Photo ]
