Here is an update! My grandson, B3, in his "to-the-rescue" cape. He just received the package and loved what Grandma Lila had made for him! [He did ask his mom, "Where is Grandma Lila???" I plan to see him SOON!]



Then there is my on-going dilemma about hair color. I had almost convinced myself to let the grey roots, now almost 1" long, become the new super-short haircut and hair color. Just cut off everything that wasn't grey????
But with the other grey things in my life at the moment, I just couldn't do it. Besides, I had enough natural "Herbatint" hair color gel from Italy [#8] to color it TODAY. [Not wanting to waste the hair color, I reached for the bottle....] Here are the results!

I am quite happy with this look today! Below an attempt to get a photo indoors led the camera to put in too much orange/copper. This color is really very "ash". I like it.

Here is a close up....well, I guess there are some warm colors in there too, but over-all I like the variety of browns and greys which show now.

Now, down to the painting studio to play with more color! I hope to have something to post before too long....oops, have to return a library book first! Due today and can't renew as someone else is waiting for it!

I did finish a small painting, "Let's go to Greece" which is posted here.

I think it is the change in the weather, a new month or maybe the full moon coming soon....

.....I want a new hairstyle.....so I've been on-line, looking. These were 2 of my favorites!!! Now, is that really a before and after above???? The bone structure seems to be right. A real glamour photo! Hmmmm....wonder if the eyes are colored contact lenses???? The artist in me loves all these colors!

Having purple spiky hair is a definite fantasy of mine, but I wouldn't like the up-keep nor the comments it would bring. I'll save it for a fantasy self-portrait.[maybe the self-portrait to go with the popular, "THE WITCH IS IN" idea!]

This (below) is closer to my reality, it is the color my hair often is...but of course, I look nothing like Katie Holmes. (Look at the graceful long neck!)

I almost pulled into a "walk-ins welcome" salon today....but the reality of it set in....I was in search of a fantasy which salons always fail to deliver!!! So, as I have done for most of my life, I will get out the barber shears and the Clairol and see what I end up with later today!!!!
