One last picture from my Golden Boy self portraits. This one is just to show you what to be careful of. Notice my eye? Yes, that is gold powder speckled over the top of my eye-ball. Kind of uncomfortable! :) Far too much of my Mehron Gold Metallic Powder and Baby Oil got into my eyes during this little shoot. The worse thing about it was that I had no eye-drops to wash it out of my eyes afterward. I had about 24 hours of red eyes and discomfort before I quit finding gold speckles on my fingers after rubbing my eyes. :)

Ow, Paul! Maybe if you put sunglasses on your subject.. perhaps golden sunglasses and then you wouldn't have to put the gold so close to the ever sensitive eyeball! :) Hope you're feeling better! :)
