Identity & Self Image...
Virtual and real... just for fun, I chose one word to draw a self-portrait. Me. In my prime. No wrinkles, no grey, no sags, no bags. Immediately, MotherPie came to mind, mainly because at my fingertips on the computer, where I creatively play, the blog title crops to the forefront so hence the word. Now that I think of it, I need to get another life. I am not my blog, my blog is not me. But what is the self, anyway, if not a conglomeration of ephemeral things? What is real, anyway?
So here is a piece of my (virtual) self. What word, at the moment,would you use to define yourself in a portrait. Want to give it a go? If you do anything similar, link back.
My real self is off celebrating. another. birthday.
Happy birthday, you can't tell your age in this "motherpie" of a drawing, but you don't look a day over 40!

Also, if you click on your photo, the enlarged photo makes you look even younger.Really neat how you did this.

I was going to post some roses, but the code got stripped. You'll have to go http://farm1.static.flickr.com/15/20787605_a682373194.jpg to see them

LOVE that picture!! I've been fooling around with avatars lately, but none of them make me look authentic. Your picture is so artsy - fantastic!!
If I had to choose one word for myself, it would still be the same word I chose for my college application essay: curious. It makes each day a new adventure.
Happy Birthday!!!

That's really cool - how did you do that?
Happy Birthday (late). You share a birthday with my aunt and her younger daughter.
