The piece is still unfinished; I'm hoping to get back to this piece, but other deadlines have gotten in the way (isn't that the way it always is, eh?).<BR/><BR/>The title has to do with what I would like people to notice about me, not the very obvious (as you noted) wrinkles. You know, that sleight-of-hand thing--distract from what is really going on LOL!<BR/><BR/>And the strip of dark on the left is indeed my hairline/"sideburns" (what are they called on women, anyway?).<BR/><BR/>And so it goes.renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17577465484305520103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-66132125279771909242008-02-19T00:50:00.000-05:002008-02-19T00:50:00.000-05:00Hello Ren,One needs to click and enlarge the image...Hello Ren,<BR/><BR/>One needs to click and enlarge the image posted here to see the work you've done on the piece. <BR/><BR/>I would love to see this when you've done more threadwork on it. Right now, it feels unfinished to me.<BR/><BR/>Also, the title you've given it doesn't match what I see as the center of attention. That center is the wrinkles; not the eye. I'm curious what others think about this comment.<BR/><BR/>I do like the green strip of color along the left side of the piece, because it suggests a hairline which makes the close-up of the eye more understandable in terms of position.Cay Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547980705264241087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-34618983009515947082008-02-05T20:47:00.000-05:002008-02-05T20:47:00.000-05:00This is a very clever piece Ren.

I think maybe it needs a bit of shading (threadwork?) to give the face a bit more of a three dimensional quality. I can't quite put my finger on it. The threadwork on the eye is really well done.<BR/><BR/>Brendabrendajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131423716232090084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-70178804023266477372008-02-05T00:34:00.000-05:002008-02-05T00:34:00.000-05:00Hi Ren, this is wonderful...wrinkles and all.
