Handmade Necklace

This is a handmade necklace that I made for art class. It was my second try. I actually made three, but the third did not meet the specifications of the assignment. For the assignment, we had to make paper beads and put them on a necklace with other beads. We also had to handmake a pendant. My beads are blue glass with an aqua pendant. I painted my paper beads with blue and silver metallic fingernail polish.

Self Portrait + Poem

This is my self portrait that I did for my art class. The assignment was for us (future educators) to create a collage self portrait and a poem about ourselves. This is my attempt. I made full points for the assignment, but I didn't feel it was very good. I poured out my heart into the poem. I have accepted that I am who I am and can not criticize myself into non-existence. After all, it's just me...........
