I started my "little me" with a blank black canvas and first added a digitally-altered photo of my only tattoo: a tiger drawing that I did when I was in college, which is a symbol of the balance I struggle to maintain in Life. I added digital images of my eyes and replaced the irises & pupils with buttons & moss. My right eye represents my creative side: the pupil is an ornate antique glass button, the iris is moss, the lid is decorate with glitter and the eyelashes are thick & branch-like. My left eye represents my very structured side (I'm a CPA as well as an artist): the pupil & iris are plain buttons, the lashes are simple and there's no further adornment. I also added torn bits out of a dictionary, painted stripes the approximate color of my hair and printed a small self-portrait (which was carved on an eraser) over the words. The title is a reference to Neil Gaiman's "Coraline," in which The Other Mother has button eyes.
This is so interesting and creative. I love it!
Wow! Lots of creativity, here!
