The Selfie Project

Lil Trish-head-bw3

This is my best so far.  In truth, my image is not a selfie.  It was drawn by my husband, Don Schmidt who creates comics in his spare time.

The project is this:  Find lots of folks to be inspired through an image of themselves.  The folks leverage their connection to themselves to explore a number of creative and technical environments.  Folks share their learning explorations with others through photographs on social media and a number of hashtags.  #Makersville, #SelfieProject, #Squigglemom

Will you play the Selfie Project Game with me?
