The Documented Life Project - Week 2

Well, this is Easter weekend after all and I have to make the most of all this free time - 3 hours until the dog needs to be walked again!

So, let's move to Week 2 - Incorporate a Selfie

I took a picture of myself and wasn't too happy with it, then I had a look through Picasa. Here is the result:

• First I had a look through the People section in Picasa
• Second I selected about twenty pictures of me that I liked
• Third I picked Collage - but the Collage option didn't take my chosen photos - it incorporated all the pictures of me in People - and I loved the resulting texture
• Fourth I glued it to a blank page 
• Fifth I added little dots around it to frame it 
• Sixth I drew lines and wrote words that describe me in one way or another
• Seventh I scribbled over those words with Neocolor II water-soluble pencils and applied water to bring out the colours
• Eighth  I applied some Reeves acrylic paint (gold) to brighten it and hide the words
• Ninth I called it done
