Blog Anniversary One Year! Self Portrait

Hard to believe I have had my blog for one year today! Even though I lost all my posts recently I still love doing this and will continue to create and share. I've met so many nice people here and have met some amazing artists that I never would have met if I hadn't started blogging. Thanks to everyone and all the kind remarks over the past year. Your encouragement has meant a lot to me and I look forward to year two!

Now on to my latest endeavor...my last weeks homework in Journal 102 was a self portrait ..yikes! So......I took a photo and made a sepia print the played with Photoshop and hit contrast and printed it out. Then I hand colored it. I used very bright water soluable oil pastels. It's a bit Andy Warholish looking in the colors BUT how cool is it to get rid of wrinkles and dark circles, etc ????
