Faces FFO

Hi there.  It has been a busy week.  I have more to do than I can get done some days.  I have my quilt top basted with batting and backing and it is ready to start quilting on - IF I can only find the time in a day. 

Meanwhile,  last week when I was "down with a cold"  I decided to play with some air dry clay that I saw at the local discount store.   There is no brand name on it, it simply says "Air dry clay."  Since the price was only a dollar, I snagged a package.  My play time was spent making a couple of little faces. I was planning on a couple of serene faces like my friend Nicole makes (just below the onion photos on this post) 

Mine did NOT come out serene and lovely. 
Ah well. 

While I was taking that photo above,  I spotted a sketch book. Looking through the few pages that had been used, I found another face.

I call him "Toothy"

And then I saw this sketch page and decided to share it with you. 
The lower part was a study for a possible abstract painting. 
I think if I painted it, it would need to be simplified.

I like "Toothy"! He looks to be full of personality!
I think you do well to try so many different art paths. It's all about having fun anyway, isn't it!

You are so funny and I love these clay faces. Wow! Clay for a buck? You scored. I am always impressed with your sketches. You are so very talented. Thank you for sharing with FFO and I hope you are feeling better.

The clay face on the right is wondering what the clay face on the left is thinking! Toothy made me smile. The last sketch is one I feel like I need to study. I mean, like it should be framed and hanging in a gallery so our imaginations can take over. Not sure that makes sense LOL. I hope you are feeling much better, Gene.

The clay face to the right seems to be in very deep thought! Oh, and happy Toothy!
Spring must be on the way - hope you´re feeling better.

I like your air dry faces, and that was a good deal at only a $1. I wonder what the man on the right is thinking about. Your drawings are great too, especially the little boy. I hope you have a super weekend. And I hope your cold is better too.
