Explore - An on Line Class by Shimelle


I wasn't going to do this class, I didn't finish the last one, but............... I caved in and have joined the gang again. Thanks Shimelle I do love your classes
First thing is to make my book, well I did make a little smash book (as well as the bigger one) neither of which have I really used. So the little one will be perfect just have to decorate it, at the moment it is plain and boring - mmm perhaps that is why I haven't used it?
In the meantime our first challenge is to take a self portrait in the mirror so our camera is in the photo with us. Trying to find some different way of doing this I thought of the 3 winged mirror in my spare/junk room most of the photos show the state of the room behind me ....

....but there is one that I like. Next thing crop it down a bit, can't have my head just in the bottom left hand corner and an expanse of mirror in the rest now can I?

If you want to join in you will find the details here

I'm another one that doesn't finish Shimelle's classes! Love your reject SPs and the one you finally chose! LOL

Fab progression of SPs - if I was doing the class you wouldn't see the rejects! Hope it's a LOT of fun :D

It was worth all the effort, Mary - that is a great photo, with a slightly different "take" on the subject. Love it!
Hope you enjoy the course. I'm sitting this one out - just too, too busy at the moment. Have fun!

Love that last self portrait of you

A place for me to put the pictures of layouts I have done that I am pleased with, to put in the poems I write and to add snippets of things that have caught my eye
