An Artsy Valentine's Day and Faces 13 - 15

Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope that every day, you wake up and remember that you are loved! 

Face #13:

 

 Face #14

 and Face #15

 

These pencil drawings are inspired by photos of our "families" in Guatemala.  We leave February 26 for our next visit and I can't wait to see everyone!  I am definitely seeing progress in my faces!

Here's a sneak peak at some clay pieces I made in Judy Shea's online workshop, Buttons n'Bellishments.  It's been so much fun!  Stay tuned Monday for a look at the canvas they are embellishing.

And finally, this journal page was inspired by Carolyn Dube's online class, Use Your Words!

It is in an old encyclopedia I am altering; I was inspired by the text that was on the page: "Great Outlet to the Sea." 

Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can.

Linking up to Paint Party Friday and Art Journal Every Day.  

Use Your Words & Face #11

Today was the first day of my friend Carolyn Dube's FREE online workshop: Use Your Words.

To celebrate and commemorate, here's Face #11, entitled "Use Your Words!"

 

The letters in her hair are from Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Stencil - Letter Jumble (9x12) at the Funkie Junkie boutique! She started with a nose (which ended up being rather long), inspired by this spark of "artspiration" from Carolyn's newsletter.  Can you see the nose too?  (My daughter Samy saw a leg from behind.)

Today the snow started melting.  But despite all the shoveling, it was quite glorious over the weekend.  Not so much for my friends in Connecticut and Massachusetts.  But Samy and Freddie had a good time!
