Playful Self Portrait made of dryer lint for 4th Art Trail Contest

Been meaning to make a collage/assemblage with dryer lint, as I have long been fascinated with the texture. Constructed by laying pieces gently down with gel medium. I was hoping I could make it slightly more realistic, but if I work it to much it gets messy. Was told it needed more color so I gave myself a sparkly dress on a sparkly blue background. Ain't I pretty?

Here is a view from the side.

Also tried to take some WIP images, but the did not come out very well.

I feel bad posting this silly thing after seeing all the great portraits being submitted, but believe it or not I worked hard on it, lol!
