What is Real Beauty?

I love Dove commercials. Even though I don't buy the brand, I love that they depart from the mainstream of perfection and Photoshop, and reveal people as their real selves (I worry that I'm missing some deception, but that might just be paranoia). 

See the newest Dove mini documentary on Real Beauty here. I found it thoughtful, and it reminds me that we must, we MUST! be more self- compassionate.

I'm getting a cold (yes I'm whining). Here's my next contribution to the Diva's challenge.

I used a negative star shape and learned several new tangles. I was kinda surprised when the Paradox rose out of the page after shading it! But the 3D effect is kind of fun...

I think this turned into a starfish... it has an aquatic feel.


Tangles I know I used: Bitten, Florez, Paradox, Mooka, Droplets (?), Verdigoh, Wist, Msst
