Day 30: Day 2 of Self Portrait

Ok, still not great and it doesn't look like me, but I think I'm done!  At least it's better than yesterday's...  The most important thing I learned today is to start over.  I spent a couple of hours trying to fix up yesterday's mess to no avail.  I could not get the eyes and mouth right for anything.  I was just going to post it anyway and then I just couldn't.  It was awful!  Too awful to post.  So, I scraped her (me!) and started over with another photo.

I think Albert was easier!  Who would've thought this to be so difficult?  I mean, after all, it's just another photo.  But, I just couldn't get the eyes or mouth right.  I wonder if there's a trick to it?

 

 

So the 30 in 30 Sgraffito Challenge is done!  It was a great learning experience and I would do it all again!  Kelly Crosser Alge led us down unexpected paths and, in her genius, she got us to do more than we ever thought possible for ourselves.  The group was also great, very supportive and fun.  I stuck to this for all 30 days.
