Flickr Friday theme: sí mismo/self.
Por que no todos tus días son bellos; algunos de ellos vienen cargados de melancolía, tristeza, inseguridad o incertidumbre, o simplemente no es tu día.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a fan of selfies and I don’t much like my photograph being taken, from the front anyway. I am also very self-conscious and self-critical of my looks… it’s a long story with many chapters. However, there are a couple of things about my physicality that I do like. My eyes and eyelashes, and my hands. My eyes will vary from brown to green depending upon how I am feeling. My eyelashes always get comments about how long and thick they are, and people do ask me whether I wear mascara (which I don’t). My hands are my outlet for my creativity: drawing, sketching, designing, painting, beading, photographing, cooking, writing… the list goes on. I have a very slender hand and rather long and elegant fingers, perfect for peeping from beneath the cuff of a well cut pink shirt and for showing off the antique rings I love so much.
This weeks "Flickr Friday" theme is "self", and this now makes the third self portrait I have done using my eyes and my hands.
The original self portrait I submitted to the "Snap Happy" group for the theme "selfie" used one of my eyes, which appears in the right hand camera image. The second was for "Looking Close... on Friday!" where the theme was "eyes", where I took a second photo of my other eye to make a pair on a background of circles of my eyes. This time I have taken a photo of the second portrait using the first portrait to make a third portrait.
However, I have included some other clues about my taste for this image: the Regency ruby ring on my finger (a family heirloom), a pink striped shirt with blue polka dots (one of my favourites this season), and some Japanese print paper (I love Japanese prints and design).
All in all I think this makes a rather Surrealist self portrait of which I think might have made Salvador Dali a little jealous!

["Ojalá alguien me llamara por teléfono. Pero... En el fondo... Para qué, si... No... Voy... A... Responder. Es prueba de respeto... Por sí mismo... El estarse muriendo de ganas de que lo llamen a uno por teléfono y darse el gustazo de no responder, es prueba de respeto por sí mismo..." A.B.E.]

Mandala significa círculo en sánscrito. Esta palabra es también conocida como rueda y totalidad. Más allá de su definición como palabra, desde el punto de vista espiritual es un centro energético de equilibrio y purificación que ayuda a transformar el entorno y la mente. También se le define como un sistema ideográfico contenedor de un espacio sagrado.
