Five Faces in Five Days - Day 5

Um, I did say five faces in  seven days, didn't I? I guess not, but I've had a hard time keeping up with this challenge! Just a busy week!

So this is my last face - sort of a wood nymph, mother earth type lady. I'd like to explore this idea a bit more. She is a cut paper person, and the photo was taken under the worst circumstances, at night in artificial light.

From this challenge I have learned that I do love to do faces, I have trouble keeping up with "one a day" and that it feels good to be creative!!

My next post will be my 100th - can't believe it!!! I'll be announcing a giveaway and I hope I'll get a good response!

By the way, if you would like to see some lovely faces, visit Terri Stegmiller's blog and enjoy her great artwork!

Five Faces in Five Days - Day 4

Just finished up this Lady, whom I'll call the Catalog Queen. I used images from magazines and catalogs and had a good time with it. Tomorrow I'll post my final piece for this challenge!

Five Faces in Five Days - Day 3

This impish face is inspired by a little boy I tutor. Sometimes his mom gels his hair up straight and I love to touch the top lightly - it feels like a hairbrush!!!

This is a fused fabric applique. I hope to get another face done and posted today since I'm now way behind!! But it doesn't really matter - I'm learning what my limitations are, plus I'm enjoying making these people and their faces. So much fun!!

Five Faces in Five Days - Day 2

This week has been busier than I expected and I'm a bit behind, but here is my picture for day 2.

Another face in cut paper. What is this lady thinking about? I have a few ideas, but you can come to your own conclusions! I thought I'd try for a different type of expression, but those crazy eyebrows say it all!

Tomorrow: fused fabric!!!

Five Faces in Five Days - Day 1

Here is the result of my first picture in this challenge. This little girl is made from cut scrap book paper, with some permanent marker and pastel chalk for shading. I'm discovering that I've set a tough challenge for myself. I love to do people, but they are not easy!! I wasn't 100% happy with how this came out, but I have to leave her now and go on to another "personality"!
