What a super illustration! My initial thought was exactly the same as Karin's comment! If yours is like mine (two sides, one normal one hugely magnified) be sure to choose the right side or you're in for a BIG shock!!).
It draws me in, in a dark short way… I’ll TRY to explain… Like a an old Polish or French film, like a William Morris pattern, like a remembered favorite illustration from my mother’s magazines seen as a child… All these PLUS a feeling akin to that experienced when you observe the infinity of a fractal…
Magnifying mirrors are to be avoided at all costs! Great illustration, BTW!(Have you seen editor (of up and down town)'s post about magnifying mirrors?

Amazing illustration! Brilliant Nicky! I used to be facinated by magnifying mirrors- loved them- I could almost see my brain through my nose! (I thought) as age does it's worst I try to stay away from ALL mirrors!
By the way "Charm" is the week word if you want to play- leave a comment on my blogishness. Cheers!
Hello Nicky, I hope I am not late dropping by, wow suddenly your recent IF entries are all so good. I really love your entry for this week. Yes, yes, yes, the idea is super! The style and colour are super too!
The mirror is a good tool. It's our mind to that makes wonder, whether fine or scary! Ha..Ha..
Congratulations on being selected as Pick of the Week, I can definitely see why. Very strong graphical style and the image perfectly illustrates the theme. Good job ;)
