Self-Portrait by Donna Q.

  Info from Donna on the workshop:

This project can be done with a flair for realism or with a flair for your alter-ego.  Since it is not going to be photo realism, I suggest the fun of the alter-ego.  Rather than choosing beige batik for the face and brown, black, blond or grey for the hair, chose colors that you love or reflect a part of your personality.  The only rule is to have fun and use your imaginations.
