Two posts today
Yesterday I totally forgot about the blog, though I had a selfie portrait ready. So here it is and of course also the photo I used. See you later today for today's portrait! As you can see it's not very inspiring this photo, but it's what I make of it that counts for me and I must say, I have a good feeling about the result. I have always liked fortune teller and this portrait gives me the feeling I am one :) I used papers from Artisan papers, flowers from Mindful Flowers and

Good morning
I started from my bed today. I kind of planned it. My last thoughts before I fell asleep yesterday were that I wanted to have a hand on my face and make the photo of today while I was still in bed. And so I did. I loved playing with the colors and digital (Photoshop) layers with styles, different opacities, blends etc. Here's the (terrible) photo I used. No further comment. And here is what I made with my selfie. I hope to see you again tomorrow! #Red #Goodmorning #Bed #inbed

Bad hair day
Bad hair day. Yesterday I went to Rataplan, the second hand shop in Heerhugowaard where I live, to see if there was anything for me to wear on a selfie eventually. I went there with Carolijn and her son. We had a blast. When I had to make a selfie today I found myself in terrible shape. I have sort of a stomach flue I guess and I looked so pale and tired that I gave in for today: yes, I wearave makeup and A LOT OF IT. The shawl I bought in the 2nd hand shop covered my hair ju

Day 4 of Project Selfie
Since I always loved comic books when I was young, I have a weekness for those text balloons. Awesome too if you ask me, when you're digiscapping. I made a set of text balloons in the Sk8r Girl collection and this is an occasion when it comes in handy. Here the selfie and the digital portrait I made for today... #Selfie #selfieproject #project #projectselfie #portrait #digital #comic #textballons #text #yellow #yellowdress #scrapbook #Illustrator #Photoshop #April #comicbooks

Day 3 of the Selfie Project
Today I made the decission to paint. I first made a setup in pancil on paper and after that I painted with aquarel mainly and also with some acrylic. Because I wore such a stupid boring black sweater, I readid it. That's one of the benefits of painting: you can change anything you did like in the selfie. I also did a little trick that made it more interesting for myself: I mirrored the photo and made a painting of the mirrored photo. Just to have the feeling that it's more me

Project Selfie
Why is it that sometimes I'm afraid to be seen online without make-up? Without being properly styled? Without even having combed my hair? What is wrong with me? I live my whole life the natural way, only wearing make-up when I'm going out or when I have an important meeting. It is seldom that I just feel like it. SO WHY? WHY should I wear make-up every day now for aonther selfie? I was wondering about this from the moment I woke up. I must admit, it's like skinny dipping in t

Selfie project
Some things in life take a lot of courage. What other people see as a piece of cake, can be an absolute struggle for you. On the other side, there might be things that cost you a minute, while there are people who find those same things unbearable and a huge challenge. I will tell you about my struggles. Not al - too boring, but one thing at a time. I have always liked drawing and I have always hated it to see photo's of myself or to hear myself. I love photography, but I pre
