Self portrait

Well done Margaret! You must have a magic mirror, unfortunately mine isn't - or the magic isn't strong enough to airbrush the wrinkles!

Like this and what's wrong with hiding the things we don't quite like!

You’ve done a grand job of this Margaret. Have had a go with a mirror but found it so difficult.

Thank you Marjorie - not so much a magic mirror as strong light! The light did manage to flatten out my lines.

Did this self-portrait (using a mirror) with a strong art lamp on the table - (did smooth my wrinkles out!) for the new Self Portrait thread set up by Sylvia. Water soluble wax crayons. I will admit that it makes me look about 20 years too young - it has also been pointed put that my hair is blacker and less brown (fortunately the lighting didn't show my white hairs!)
