If you're like me, you've always wanted to be a cartoon character. I don't know why. I guess I just love cartoons. Well, Tiffany Inglis can draw cartoons, and she is also a master in Photoshop. You see, Tiffany is a computer whiz AND a brilliant portraitist. She has a PhD in computer science, and she wrote her dissertation on "Pixelating Vector Art."
Clearly, she's not your average computer nerd. Anyway, Tiffany recently posted a custom wedding portrait on Facebook, and I was blown away by it. It looked right out of a Pixar movie. So I asked Tiffany if she would like to trade some beadwork for an avatar. I was super happy when she agreed. I sent her some photos of myself and my art, and with her magic, she made this picture of me, complete with wavy red hair and glasses. Isn't it amazing?
I actually look like this.
In my head.
But now I look like this on my computer too. You can see that Tiffany managed to include a Rivoli Urchin pendant, a Sweetheart Pendant, a top hat from felted wool sweaters, and a coat I made. (These are all things I've written tutorials for.)
In exchange, I made her this Rivoli Urchin Necklace in the colors Tiffany picked. I'm totally sure that I won this trade.
Thanks for looking.
This is sooo cool, Gwen! I think you and Tiffany BOTH won!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing!! Really a very original picture! You both won!
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing! I love it. And she should love the necklace.
ReplyDeleteOh that is perfect Gwen. Love the coat. :)
