Me in WOODBLOCK

Self Portrait ~ Please let me know what you think as I would love to

have some feedback. Thank you.

Hello Micki i want to wish you Happy Birstday for 8 March all the best to you

Beautiful and original work, Micki! Best regards, Ruud.

Great job. I like it a lot...

Very good, and creative composition Micki. I really like it a lot. Keep on your good work. Best regards, Torfinn.

I really worked a while on it. After spending so much time in Japan and never wearing a Kimono yesterday I decided to just put one on and just snap a couple of pictures after putting my hair up to wash my face and that was it. I LOVE the texture of a woodblock and that was it. I can see I am going to do some more WOODBLOCK looks! I have ALWAYS been very facinated by woodblocks and have seen some of the greatest woodblock artists of present time do some of their works but only bought one to give as a gift. THIS was just to much fun to do. The whole time process took over three hours not including going through over 40 pictures and the time it took to get the photo taken which was probably over 40 minutes. SO... when people think PS is just easy it isn't. Learn by trial and error. I'm sure it could have been even better and honestly the BIGGER view is better but I can't show you it because of the scroll problem here on PN. Thank you ~ micki

It looks like a chinesse painting to me.. I love it! The composition, colours, everything! .o)

Whenever I am in need of artistic inspiration... I just need to stop by your portfolio.

 

Wonderfully creative!

Nice work

Your creativity is an inspiration. Do you cook too?

 

Hee hee!

I like your innovative techniques and ideas. Please continue.

Very good technique and great overall effect Micki.

Well you have really outdone yourself. I would have guessed you had a picture from Japan, but to do a self protrait that is wonderful. I too like the woodblock look. Makes it look so expensive that I could not afford it!!

Pete, Yes I cook, but not like you and the hubby ;) ~ HA! Well you make bread and hubby makes cookies and Banana bread! YUM YUM!

 

Mom, actually I just took this picture last night with the Green Kimono I bought. Funny ~ YEP! ;) ~

Like Japan art!

Hey Micki, love the eyebrow. you are most prolific with your self-ports and variations. i've been charging my creative batteries and hope to get out and shoot some fresh stuff soon. I would love to see picts of your dad and his F4 Phantom. take care, J.K.

AND... have you fix them up as I have no clue! HA, or I guess I will have to learn with al this time I have on my hands... LOL!

Oh, dear Micki :) I like this one a lot, it is very graphic and you remind me of an Actress, dont remember the name :) ")

 

Thank you dear Friend for your support regarding the 7/7 restriction!

 

Have a great weekend :)
