Found face

One day, on Jude's blog, there was mention of a "face plant" challenge posted on Arksparktheater.  The idea is you make a face on the street or in the forest then leave it there for someone to find, after taking a photo of it.  Well, this morning after yoga, at the local demolition project that I've mentioned before, was an earth mover, resting after its labors; this ready-made face was staring me down from up in the sky!  I don't know if it will count for the challenge, since I didn't create it, but, it was so amazing that I had to show you anyway.

That's a little strange so here's another white sand beach scene. This is Lake Anza in Berkeley, where I went to stitch one afternoon. Oh summer!


And speaking of stitching, I've been making patchwork beasts in Jude's class; we have only one week more...this is one I've been working on.  So far it's called Off Duty Nurse but that may change when her features and limbs are added.
It's a great deal of fun and also challenging.

    Your Night Nurse is great...I look forward to seeing what changes and embellishments you make.
    I love Jude's class...I also find patchwork challenging...at the same time I am glad that I am learning new techniques.

  10. Oh good! It was fun to bring it out of hiding and remember the sound all those creatures made. I was trying to locate your previous comment about it, so I'm glad you noticed it...

  11. I love the earthmover face and your beast is so wonderful. I have not had a chance to really participate in this class so I will have to do it on my own.
