illustration friday: magnify

Here's my entry for this weeks' Illustration Friday theme of "magnify"

make_up_girlLR

"Rose was suddenly re-thinking her decision to buy a magnifying mirror."

When I first read the theme I thought of those magnifying make-up mirrors. And how at first it seems like a good idea to get "up close" to do your make-up, but then after looking in one, your flaws are instantly magnified and you have to remind yourself that normally people do not see you this close up!

Have a great weekend everyone!

  12. This is so funny. I bought a 10x mirror and stuck it in the bathroom. When my husband came home and looked in it he said, "No one should see themselves this close up!"
