I remember this ad so clearly...sometimes, the simplest concepts are the most powerful. Good choice to use this as the basis for your self-portrait: definitely worthy of framing and sharing!

I’ve posted my WW photo here:

I hope you have a wonderful rest-of-Wordless Wednesday, and look forward to seeing more of your work.

All the best,

Wow! Thanks for all the comments! Yes, I do intend to TRY to bead this image. This will definitely be fun=:)

Aunt Nancy said...

Makes me wonder what's on the TV! Where did you or what made you come up with the idea? Why a TV when it is "bubble gum" for the mind? I like the sketch now w/o the beads so can't wait...................

The Lone Beader said...

Haha. Aunt Nancy, you are the 2nd person who said those exact words. It is a speaker, from the vintage 1980's Maxell commercial:)

I like it, and I like your new format. (although I dislike Blogger's new distilling of those of us not on Blogger accounts to a mere nickname!)

Nauma said...

I like it! Can´t wait to see it finished.
And... the other TV work that you made before your first travel to Europe, where is?
