Show us your gorgeous eyes.

I had a fun idea for Self Portrait Thursday, but just did not do it, so today I tried it. Kind of fun, kind of strange, but that defines me. Fun and strange. Haha.

Amazing portraits! I love them!

That looks like such fun but as a hay fever sufferer so painful too, you could be a wood nymph! I so hope you don’t break out!

Ok so you gotta do the professional thing what lenses did you use? What body (camera)? The aperture LoL or I’m never gonna learn nuffing! LOL

Seriously stunning babe just stunning!

How interesting. I always like the photos where you turn your eyes up, and you often have a little upturn to your lips at the same time. It's very nice.

Thank You Darling!

Oooo...amazing! You really have those things stuck all over your face, don't you?! How did you get them to stick for that long? I love Sepia Seeds the best, I think.

I used a Nikon D80, with the 50mm lens, I believe it was 1/80 f 8 (maybe 11)
I like to experiment with stuff, I have an allergy to grass, but not to the puffs or the forget me not flowers, and I used lots of vaseline to hold it all there, but it made my skin and make up look really yucky, so If I ever do this again, It will be different.

OMG Lavender, I love how your mind works.. AND your photography skills.
These look like they were fun to take, and you do look like some woodland nymph!

Very neat! I was wondering if the flowers were photostopped on there at first, and I was like, "wow, it looks so real!"

beautiful!

Haha! I was thinking about lighting today too. Went on a bike ride and took quite a few photos in manual. Wished I had brought my other lens, but I figure I got the shots I was supposed to get today. ;-)

a picture is worth a thousand words.
i only have enough to fit on a post-it note. :D

you are so beautiful: dandelion goddess! :-)

aren't those dandelion seeds from the puff? in Italy we call the little blue flowers "Occhi della Madonna" (=Madonna's eyes- as in Jesus' mother's eyes, not the celebrity Madonna). Of course Madonna's eyes were probably brown, but I digress ;-)

Haha! Yes they are puff seeds, and the blue flowers were always called Forget-me-nots, I guess that was the name in victorian times, when every flower meant something very deep. yes I would assume Mary's eyes would be Brown, not many blue eyes people in that part of the world. Haha! That always cracks me up to see a pale red headed blue eyes Jesus, really? He must have had some serious sun screen.
