Thankfulness

Today I want to tell you a few things that I am thankful for.

I am thankful for:

little birds singing outside my windows;
that I have windows and a home; 
those bits of thread that I keep picking up off the carpet, they remind me that I have things like a sewing machine, needles, electricity, fabric and a creative mind to sew;


colors - there are so many shades, tones and hues of color to enrich my life. I am blessed to be able to use them in paint, fabric and other forms. I am blessed to be able to see color. 
food - I have food to eat and can usually be picky enough to eat only foods that I really like.
computers - they allow me another form of creativity. They allow me to write this blog and share videos with wonderful people around the globe. 
coffee - I confess that I don't like to start a single day without a cup of black coffee. I realize it is a luxury not a necessity. I enjoy the warm cup in my hand as well as the intricate flavor of the brew. 
And of course, I am thankful for YOU. Without readers and followers, (and commenters) writing a blog would be less fulfilling. Thank you for reading. 
Those are a few of the things for which I am thankful. 

Until Next Time,

Friday face off, early

First I am sharing this floral.
Next, in the tradition of many famous artists, a self portrait. Although this one is of a much younger “me”

And finally, a bland landscape

Re-Faced and Roses

Welcome to my stop on the Friday Face Off.  For today's offering, I decided to take the face that I created last week and "re-face" it.  By making a digital copy of the original, I preserved it. Then the copy was used to "play with."   I used a warping tool to change the face.  
I also added a different background and changed the clothing. 
She looks a lot different now, at least I think so. And her facial expression is hilarious. 

I also want to share this image I created of roses.

Both of these were created using the Procreate drawing app on my iPad. 
This is not AI art as some readers have thought in the past.
