Description This is done in the style of Art Nouveau, a self portrait done for a contest being held by . I got my nose pretty well My hair is generally in a braid-kind of my trademark. lol I also have a little red freckle below my eye. Hope you all like-I named it and chose this theme because art is my lullaby. I couldn't exist or be me without it!

This picture really kind of irratated me-had to many little things that kept going wrong that I had to try and repair- all mainly caused by the fact that this was on crappy watercolor paper (and my kitten decided to keep trying to climb my back). x_x That and I've been really under the weather lately.

The layout is amazing, I love the art deco feel!
The hair looks great, too, do you really wear it like that? It looks like it'd be difficult to do everyday.... And I love the way you drew your feet, they look so nice!

Thanks ;D
Right now my hair isn't quite long enough to braid-just tried an experiment in what I'd look like in shorter hair-not a big fan of it on myself But until recently I always had super long hair and I'd wear it in a braid almost every day-although not as loose as in the picture

I think it's beautiful. You're so talented, hun. And if your cat was bothering you, I certainly can't tell it here.

Hope you feel better soon.
