1.1.12

101 Faces in Five Days....that is silly!



New Year's soul searching seriousness is now past, gone, over with. Whew! Made it to the NEW Calendar:)

I have my "string of words" to inspire me through out 2012.

LIFE TRULY IS A VERB
....inspired by Patti Digh's book of similar title.

And now to have a bit of good ol' rollicking fun.

I signed up for a five day class with the fabulous illustrator and author, Carla Sonheim

You may have already purchased her best selling book:

                                                 
This is such a terrific book that I gifted our very creative grandson with it.

FACES 101
Not sure what all we will be doing, but faces are the subject. And knowing how Carla loves the silly, whimsical  funny-bone in art, it should prove to be perfect for starting out the New Year with a silly-i-ness bang.

Carla asked us to do a little assignment prior to class today: draw some random faces....it is the baby-step of attempting  100!!!! faces.  I better sharpen my pencils!

My humble first homework assignment.



I promise to not post 100 plus faces these next days, but a few are sure to pop up....who knows I might be inspired to try for 200!!!  Remember Life truly IS a Verb!

Smiles: Sharon
Heart Thought: do you find a moment of silliness, fun- to- have fun in your day?
