Self-Portrait Tuesday 06.13

Self-Portrait Challenge pop art. I sat (and they just stuck straws up my nose so I could breath) for a life mask for a friend's art project during college, this one did not turn out perfectly. Okay, a stretch for Pop art, but it looks like it belongs in an austere gallery on white walls. (Hmmm, that is what happened to my eyebrows!)

I've always found face casts both fascinating and a wee bit creepy. Cool take on the topic, Kim!

WoW - you are brave. I don't think I could do this... I'm sure I would become paranoid that I wouldn't be able to breathe, even with the straws... Yikes

Thank you erica, debr (yes, it is creepy to see yourself sleeping? dead? or just see yourself in that form)
Linda, I do remember being a little freaked out, and then it was that thing about pulling my eyebrows eyelashes out ;0
Thank you Tammy...that thing has been collecting dust in a bowl in my studio - I completely forgot about it

When I was an interpretor for an 8th grader, her art teacher has the class do these with the pre plastered cheese clth that you can get at Michaels or through Dick Blick. You need to imagine a room of 32 or so 8th grade kids wrapping each other in wet plastered cheese cloth, with straws up noses and them all trying to sit still long enough for it to harden.

It was a gas! I hadn't laughed so hard in a very long time.
