This week's Make It Mondays theme Self-Portrait was a tough one for me because I really dislike photos of myself. I debated using a baby picture, but that would have required digging into the as-yet-unpacked boxes that have old photo albums. So I actually used a recent photo of myself and masked out the background and sized it to ATC format. Then I traced my face with permanent marker onto a clear ATC blank from Ten Two Studios. I doodled flowers around my head (because I'm still hoping for spring to show up - 40 degrees today) and colored it all with Sharpie markers. This is the closest I'll come to having purple hair!

Wow, I'm SUPER impressed! Am loving the purple hair and the flowers. Has a retro flower child feel!!!! Great job!
Hi, that is a great job! Colourful and joyous!
I am working on the italian Loteria, (called "tombola").
My son is doing his thesis, so I have not much access to the computer! As soon as I can snatch it from him I will do a post.
Have a nice week end!
I'm making this!!! I'll show you when!
Oh, cool. I never would have thought to throw the clear ATC blank over something and trace it, but now that I see it, it seems such an obviously great choice.
Thank you all!
@Juanita & Wendy - look forward to your posts
@Lisa - every now and then I have a brainstorm :D - I know the serious fine artists frown on tracing, but I want my ATCs to be fun to make!
