WHAT MY EYEBROWS SAY ABOUT ME

 

 

  

 

ALL ABOUT ME

[Bookmark by Chamki] 

 

It seems appropriate that when I’ve started my drawing self-portrait-a-day project I came across a face reader… Well, she was actually a corporate head hunter, but she also read faces.

This, of course, sent my mind on a whole series on tangents. And you’ll see some of them here.

So: here’s what she says my face says (I love these roundabout sentences that happen spontaneously).

Of course I had my sketchbook with me then, so what you’ll see is a part typed, part hand written, part squiggled account of some bits of my face and what they say (I’d love to get into the details, but oh, there’s just too much in a face!).

Side benefit- I also did the day’s self- portrait challenge in the process.

Something new every day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MY FACE (according to my hands which drew this).

 

We start with the eyebrows (and in this post, we also end there).

 

 MY EYEBROWS

Mine are called “Starter brows” i.e. they are thickest at the start and thin out as they move towards the temples. i.e.

I have a talent for starting new projects, providing the energy to get it off the ground. The hard thing for me is ( I knew this was coming!) following it through to the end. I have more creativity than steadfastness, therefore tending to get deathly bored (or, ore likely more me, busy idea-ting something else). So perseverance in the face of boredom is this major challenge for me (which it really, really is!! :s)

Going back to the good things, I’m (and you are, too, if you belong to the same eye brow-ic category as me… and you not, you’re one of those diligent, successful people I admire) great with ideas and inspiration and bringing energy into something. Florence Nightingale and Thomas Edison had the same eye brows as me!!

Ideally in projects etc I would have to find someone with the opposite kind of eyebrows!

At this stage, I got up to look at some of the photos on my room wall to check out the kind of eyebrows friends and family on my wall had.. and to my dismay, I realized all of them had nicely threaded eyebrows! So I was restricted to the boys on my wall ( but that didn’t stop me from imagining.. Chamki [ link to a photograph of her] , for example, I think has starter brows like me… Chamki, when you read this, please check your eyebrows and tell me which direction they thin out in. I’m dying to know!!!):

A:Even brow (how like him!)

Dad: Ender Brow (I should’ve known!)

 

You?

 

NOW TO THE CURVES

There was also something about the curve of your eyebrows… Mine are angled and I forgot what that means. (At this time, instead of drawing the details in my sketchbook, I was busy checking out my face reader’s eyebrows.. hers are curved. So is my mom’s… and apparently, these people specialize in noticing feelings [I asked her]. And Boy does my mom specialize in that!!

 

The really interesting part [aside from the part when she commissioned me to do a series of pieces for her new house and then said oh, you read tarot cards? I read faces. I wanted to hide for the first 3 seconds. Then I just wanted to know.] was when she said something about “starter hair” [ note: we are still only at the eyebrows!].

 

Go back to the drawing of my eyebrows and notice how it starts: hair grows in a cluster and straight: as opposed to the rest of the eyebrow which grows sideways.

 

 LIKE THIS

Apparently, not everyone has that (go see yours in the mirror and tell me!)- I always noticed mine were like this but I never noticed anyone else’s.. so I just assumed everyone’s eyebrows began this way.

Anyway, it’s an important sign (for face readers) of intelligence (:D). specifically, socio-emotional intelligence.

So there was my baring-all post about my eyebrows. How wonderful and exotic it is to have one’s eyebrows read! I’d love to see yours. Draw them for me. Photograph them. Write about them. Look at the really carefully.

   10 Things I never knew about Face Reading:

1. The formal name for it is Physiognomy

Well, there isn’t really 10… or even 2. I had just this one thing I learnt that I didn’t know and thought the 10 things looks more interesting.

As you’ll realize by now, I picked up a miscellany of face reading bits in my encounter with her. So, if you have a photograph of you, (unthreaded is best) send it to me and I’ll make up something imaginative and tell you!
