29 FACES DAY 9


"Mimi"
Oil Pastel on watercolour paper
I call her Mimi, but actually I should have spelt it Me - Me.  Yes folks, this is a jokey version of me!  I took a photograph of myself while making a very silly face in the mirror - 'gurning'.  I don't know whether the word 'gurning' is known outside of the UK, but Chambers dictionary defines the term 'gurning' as meaning making a grotesque face.  There are even gurning competitions in this country.

And no, I am NOT going to show you my actual photograph.

Dev tactfully (or for his own bodily safety) insisted it didn't look a bit like me, and that I was much prettier.  He said it makes him laugh.  Well, it's on the easel, and it makes me laugh too every time I pass it.

  5. I gurn all the time - one particular face and it drives my girls mad because they can't do it. (Just for you Jez x) They are so funny the faces they pull trying to copy :D

    I love this face of yours - made me laugh out loud! I keep saying with each face you do that it's my new favourite... but it is!
