Second Glance - DIY: Folger Day

Well dang, I buy the paper today and the "Second Glance" puzzle isn't included. So once again, I'm doing-it-myself.

Here's one of my pictures from last week's open house at Folger Shakespeare Library for the Bard's 450th Birthday. Find 12 differences in the second picture. The third picture includes the key, but don't cheat!

To get a better view, download the images to your own computer. Right-click and select "open in new tab," click again to enlarge, and save.




Answers:
1 - Find the boyfriend!
2 - Five cents?
3 - Move over
4 - De-ugly sweater
5 - Ropeless
6 - Stripey socks alteration
7 - Something smells fishy
8 - Cracked marble
9 - Turtle waves!
10 - Shadowless
11 - Colored collar
12 - What watch, Mickey?

Second Glance DIY

Ack! My favorite part of Sunday morning is doing the Washington Post magazine's Second Glance puzzle - find the 12 differences. Today they just had the before picture with no after and no key!

So I did it myself.

eta, Oops! Too funny: Now that I look at it in broad daylight, there are 13 differences; I forgot to number them when I started. Look in the middle of the picture, slightly to the northwest of center: a little toe detailing on the moccasin removed.

etaa, update 8-26-13: Yesterday the print edition of the Post gave the answers to their version of the before and after. Obviously they doctored different bits in the picture than I did in my DIY, but we had many similarities:

Number 11 in mine (upper right corner), I enlarged the shoe, whereas they removed it.

In my Number 7, we both changed the color of the shoelaces (theirs were blackened, mine got multicolored).

For Number 4 in mine (lower left corner), they labeled their change "Bigger star." HAHA! My "bigger star" is bigger than their "bigger star."  (Clay Aiken Rulzz!)
