Self Portrait<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What’s Your Oldest UFO? was the question of the day at guild last week. I had to confess** to the Self Portrait.<\/p>\n

I started this piece in a class<\/a> with Pamela Allen in 2006. The class was great, I learned a lot and finished two other pieces, Flower Garden<\/a> and Beach Town<\/a> from that class. Those are great pieces, so why is this not a great piece. AND why is it not finished?<\/p>\n

I have always thought the problem was the hair, that I couldn’t find the right hair. I don’t even know if I have tried to add hair. I have thought about adding hair, but I never seem to do it. I like the eyes, but wonder about a nose and lips.<\/p>\n

I also like the flowers at the bottom. They need some enhancement, for which embroidery will be great.<\/p>\n

Clearly this is more of an image of the way I think about myself or the way I was at one time in my past. I would like to finish it since it will involve beading and embroidery, which I really like. Somehow I can’t seem to do it.<\/p>\n

Very confusing.<\/p>\n
