Our latest craft event at The National Museum of Scotland saw hundreds of happy doodlers posing for their self portrait which was then personalized with pencils, glitter and stickers…

… and finally stamped down into a wearable Self Portrait.  Perfect for parties, or as a generous gift of your face, for a loved one.  This idea was based on the tradition of miniature portraits which were often given as a token of love or respect during Mary, Queen of Scots era.  As usual, The Red Door Gallery team was in place with a Pop Up exhibition featuring inspirational art work, most importantly Mary, Queen of Scots by Patricio Belcampo which was created in response to the Mary exhibition NMS.
