| Another DIY Valentine Card (scanned before the adding of the lettering "Be Mine) |
Day 14 of the
'29 Faces' Challenge! A very special day today in fact, and not just because it happened to be St. Valentine's Day (hence another anthropomorphic heart from me as my Face-du-Jour). No indeed, but because at some point between this post, and tomorrow's post, we shall be crossing over the exact mid-way mark of the Challenge. Half-way through, and so far, so good...!
And so things have been humming right along. As
mentioned in a previous post, I have always made homemade, DIY Valentine's cards for my family, therefore I'm really glad I was able to make the Faces theme work 'double-duty' for me, while sort of killing 'two birds with one stone', as it were (though as a bird lover/owner I've never cared for that particular expression). Having one more anthropomorphic face to share did also make things a little easier for me today in particular, being as that I teach small private group art classes on Tuesdays, so I knew it was going to be a busy one on my end. For fun, please allow me to share what we were up to this afternoon via some pics I snapped during one of my classes, in which my students are currently working on some really fantastic papier mache projects (I'm so proud!):
