The February challenge photo has been posted, and if you're curious about what we're up against, go over and check the Interpret This blog and take a look. A lovely picture, but challenging. I've made some notes, and may have an idea of how to proceed.
As I was hanging the self-portrait, I remembered a tip to share. Did you know that used sewing machine needles make great nails to hang lightweight pictures or small wall hangings? They're very strong and make such a small hole that the wall isn't marred. I have a TicTac box full of dulled needles that I use for this purpose. Now if there was only a perfect use for dull rotary blades...

I loved your portrait! You did an amazing job, and I thought your approach was very innovative.
Thanks for the tips on old needles. I have a pile stacked up in my machine drawer that I never threw away, and now I have a purpose for them!
I use old needles all the time to hang pieces on my design wall. I have an insulated design wall so I can push pins or needles into it easily.
I think the reason my hand is so sore right now is from trying to get one more cut out of a dull rotary blade. I do sharpen them but at some point, I think they are just worthless.
Good idea! As for the rotary blades, not necklaces for sure! Lol. Unless they are REALLY dull.
Great tip for using the old needles. I'll definitely remember that one.
What a great tip! Thanks!
