Hello Gwen :]
DeleteThank you, for your wonderful comments and the encouragement along the way!! ((hugs))
What an amazing journey making all these faces - definitely a theme and style, but each so individual. I love the creative take on the faces! Faces are something I definitely can NOT draw, so it's inspiring to see those who can. Congrats on the completion! Thanks for visiting and the nice comments.
ReplyDeleteI see your Book of Days badge - I enjoy Effy's sharing and journaling as well. I'm your newest follower and look forward to more when you start again in June....
Hello Terrie, and "WELCOME!"
DeleteEnjoy your visits here, love the company. :]
Thank you for your sweet comments, inspiration, and the encouragement you have left, along the way. ((hugs))
Have fun with your time off!!! Sounds like you'll be busy! I know it is hard to manage keeping up a blog and doing art!!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHello Karenann :]
DeleteSo glad you stopped by for the "grand finally"... of 29 Faces In May.
This was such a wonderful process, I enjoyed sharing it, and loved all the positive feedback.
Thank you for all your support!! (((hugs))
oh April, how could you NOT accept who you are?!? Judging by your willingness to share so much with the world, and your abundant creative heart, i'm guessing you're more than enough just as you are. Your portrait series is fabulous and i am thrilled to hear you say it was such a journey for you. Don't you LOVE when that happens? Sometimes, when we least expect it, something this simple can teach us more about ourselves than we think. Thanks for sharing them all with us. Enjoy your little break! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAwww... THANK YOU, PAULINE!! ((HUGS))
DeleteFrom the bottom of my heart...
Your encouragement through out this month, priceless.

These are all fabulous, and such a triumph to have completed them all. Face 29 is such a wonderful one to finish on!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jackie! :]

Yes, #29 was a thrill to create!!
I've really enjoyed your 29 day journey, April. They're all beautiful and imaginative - your creative juices are truly flowing with each day and each face. I've only just found your blog (through Denise's Harvest Moon blog...also beautiful), and I look forward to your return for more creative intentions made manifest. Thanks for sharing - it's all great!
