Parent-Child Headswap-VisualAssignment 339

INSPIRATION; Hey all, this is my 3rd Visual assignment and I am having fun with each process it takes to create some of these funny yet creative images. I have 8 stars now so two more and I am officially done with visual assignments. Well not quite, I still have to submit an assignment right?. This piece is called the head swap and what better picture to use than that of my mum and her babies. To the left is my gorgeous mother, to the right is yours truly and on my lap is my mum’s goddaughter whom we both love to death. If you noticed, I swapped my mums head with mine, the reason being that not only do we look alike, but as I grow up, I find myself acting a lot like her and speaking just like her. Before I cut my hair short, we had a couple of visitors who came to our house and thought I was my mum. They’ve also been times when I pick up the phone and her friends start talking to me, thinking am her. I play along for a few minutes and then I am finally busted! Anyways, I love my mum a lot. She’s instilled a lot of confidence in me and made me an emotionally strong person. I swapped Giselle’s head with my mum’s because I see her as my mum’s other daughter. She literally gets away with murder when she comes over. My mum, dad, brother and I have been in her life since day one and love the experience of watching her grow. She loves to be sang to when feeding her and when she is restless and in her chaotic mood, my dad grabs her, puts her on his lap and plays the song “Tragedy” by Christina Perri. Ironically, this song has such a calming effect on her that my dad calls her his tragedy. She sits still until the song is done and then back to being chaotic after which my mum gets on my case to put things in order. SMH! I love them both. I put the two pictures side by side just so you can compare them and really see the difference. Tutorials on how to do this will be posted in a different post with the appropriate tag to it.
