All Of Me, art journal page, 28 February 2006.

Bad hair day and no makeup. Rattling off some of the ugly bits. Reminding myself of the good bits. Trying to accept that the good and bad balance each other, making me more complete.

all of me challenge

My self portrait for this week’s Inspire Me Thursday challenge. Wow, a challenge indeed. It has been years since I have drawn a face, particularly my own face. My inner critic is throwing a tantrum right now, screaming ‘pick up that eraser and get rid of that awful nose!’ Although I must admit that even though I have mixed emotions on the outcome, it did feel good to be sketching, pencil in hand, fingers gently smudging the lead.

Check out more self portraits at Inspire Me Thursday, and don’t forget there is still a couple of days to create yours before we announce the next challenge!

Last week at Inspire Me Thursday, Misty and I challenged creative types to explore ATCs, and we were wowed with the response!

This week we focus on Self Portraits without a camera and everything posted thusfar has been so phenomenal. Please join us!
