Collage

New adventures in electronics.........picmonkey collage.  Argh.  This stuff is way more difficult than sgraffito!  Here we go.......fingers crossed that it worked/that I did it correctly.

Self Portrait

Oh my word!  Could I go on and on about this or what.  First off, pictures of myself have never been my favorite.  Finally decided on this one and used some artistic license..........it is me, but put in just a hint of the wrinkles that are really there.  HA!  Don't like the look of the wrinkles and putting them in seemed really difficult, so that decision killed two birds with one stone.  My nose is still not as it should be, but I had been "done" once and decided the nose needed work and man was it a chore to get it to this point after taking it out.  I shall leave it be now.......the more I fuss the worse I make things.  Off to the kiln before bad things happen.

Bit more work on Albert

A wee bit more.......

Albert

Todays challenge is to do Albert Einstein.....drawing upside down and right side up.  Begin today and finish tomorrow.  So, this is the first day with "fixes" and "finishes" to be done tomorrow.  I have to say that it not as bad as I thought it would be.  Once you start going and get a piece that sort of looks like it is supposed to, then the rest begins to fall into place.......

Tree/upside down

Day 26.  I am behind and have skipped a few.  Today is really the first day of Einstein, but Claudia said to go back and pick up the upside down tree, using both hands, before plowing into Einstein.  So, here is my abstract L/R upside down tree.  It was fun to do this upside down and a challenge to get the left hand to do much of anything.  I enjoyed both and can see the benefit of both.  Have come down with a cold and am not enjoying being "trapped" in my mask........pant, pant, pant!

Ouch.....safety pin!

Well, this was certainly a novel project.  If I keep going in this line, I hope to have a show at CVS Pharmacy!  ;)  It was quite the challenge, but a fun one none the less.
