 Thanks for the great comments! I was scratching my head trying to figure out what I could come up with without using any part of me. I found some styrofoam wig heads at a beauy supply and bought a few. I literally spent hours playing dress-up with wigs and props. In the end, this was the best representation of me, given the eyes are hidden (I tend to look away from the camera) and it's somewhat mysterious. I have to say, I expected to get blasted by using a fake head (anything I do with dolls, etc. usually tanks). I'm glad so many liked it!

This is so terrific. What a great eye and art direction. The sepia really works to highlight all the textures and lines. Gorgeous, and a fave
