Graphic Art. . .My Way

I enjoy taking pictures of my hand beaded jewelry and using a warp brush in my photo shop program to make designs out of them. Oddly enough, when I start warping a picture I nearly always see a face in it, so I started concentrating on faces. This picture was made from a beaded hoop earring beaded in bronze and copper iridescent seed beads. Just a few strokes of the warp brush brought a nose into view. Another stroke in an attempt to make the front of a rounded bust produced a beard. (My hand twitched involuntarily and turned the stroke up on the end). A few more strokes for touch up and "The Face of Ancient Wisdom" appeared. I have him on my Zazzle shop in the "weird faces" category. I'm thebeaddoodler there too if you want to take a look. Do the results of your art work ever surprise you? Do your pictures sometimes "draw themselves"?
