You know my
last post, about buying red lipstick? Well that got me chatting with my friend
Maria-Therese who also just started glamming in red. She said "why don't people decorate their lips with motifs etc?" This got us into a little project, a lip art documentary project. We're both artists so why not use our own faces as a canvas, or parts of our faces anyway. The lips are such a sensual part of a woman's face and lend a small but lovely space for decoration. It's another play in being BOLD!
This is my first attempt at creating lip art on myself (see one of Maria-Therese's
here. *side note* aren't her eyes simply gorgeous?!?!!)
My mind is a flutter with ideas, I've never been a make-up girl but i'm now longing to supply myself with a palette of palpable colours.
Another aid in my exploration of me, this project will help with my self portrait plan. It gives me a reason to take photos of myself.

oooooh, a self portrait plan! YAY!
Would LOVE to see more self-portraits of you! Okay, today I went with plain red BUT I did dress up as Red Riding Hood, sorta. My face is really pale so my lips looked REALLY red and I had, well, a red hood. Wasn't until I had already run my errands and been to an art opening that I realised I should have carried a small basket instead of a messenger bag :-S
LOL! You weren't hounded (no pun intended) by any wolves I hope
