I was excited to see some of the images in class. I have a brooch that I really identify with as a sort of self portrait. It's by Jubly Umph and she hand draws them all here in Melbourne before they are turned into brooches and necklaces.

I have collection of her pieces but this one really speaks to me
as a part of who I am. She's blonde with a giant ball of wool
in her hair. I love to create things with wool, I'm part of a Yarn Bombing group and have installed things all over Melbourne... sometimes it's sponsored and official and sometimes it's done quietly when no one is looking. Anyway, it's one of the creative things I like to do as is making giant things to go in my hair so little Woolmia here.
Two of my most recent projects...

| Sneaky yarn bomb |

| Leather and tulle watermelon in my hair |
So when I saw the examples in class of art created with Illustrator I was super excited. I would make a Stanley Chow inspired version of myself with a bow on my head... Easy right? Maybe like his Debbie Harry?

But after struggling for two hours to trace curved lines I may need to rethink. We will see, perhaps week three leads to a breakthrough...
