Art Unraveled 2007

AU was wonderful. I made new friends and got to visit with friends I met last year and year before. Everyone always thinks my accent is cute. And I think I don't have much of an accent.

I LOVED my classes this year. Favorites this year were Embossed Bracelet and Uber Self Portraits but Karen Michel's Altered Imagery, Kelly Kilmer's Taped Journal, and Anne Grgich's Obsessive Paintbrushe were all super fun too. Since I've gotten home I have primed a canvas that I'll mount my self portrait on and played around with altering photos.

Above you see me Uber Self Portrait that I created in Tracy Bunkers class. This class was so much fun and I look forward to doing this wild, wonderful, whimsical portraits for others. Two funny things...my mother-in-law seems to not believe this started with my photo. I admit the purple and crimson hair is a fair reach from my gray hair. And my little grandson Freddie (who is Hispanic) was funny when he saw my self-portrait. "Ummm, Mawmaw, I don't want to be rude or anything but tha pictures looks like you are a Mexican." Kids do still say the darndest things.
