This is a picture of me and my friends dancing in the neon lights at my birthday party. We had neon paint on our faces and arms, which glowed weird colours in the ultraviolet light. This was our last party together before we all got split up and went to four different high schools. I don’t see my friends much now, so this is a very happy memory. I used bright markers and stitched over the top in thread.
