29 Faces Challenge

I am currently working on a "75 Day Sketch Challenge" on my other blog, IrelandBrady.blogspot.com, and I decided I would like to try the "29 Faces Challenge" that is being held over at Ayala Art's Blog.  In this challenge each entrant draws one face per day over a 29 day period, with the starting date being 2/1/2012.  In essence this is a "Leap Year" challenge and a fun one at that.  Since I didn't want to start another challenge on my IrelandBrady Blog I decided to post my faces in this blog.

Now, since this is a fairy oriented blog I decided I would try to keep the faces a bit on the impish side ... so without further ado ... here is Face 1 ....

 

There are now 24 entrants, if you would like to view the faces by these other talented artists just click on this link http://ilove2paint.blogspot.com/p/29-faces.html and you will find the list of artists.  To view their faces, simply click on their name and that link will transport you over to their blog!   What fun is that!

Letter to the Humming Belles and Beau from a Young Lad's Oma....

The Humming Belles & Beau recently received a wonderful letter and were so moved by what a young lad's Oma had to say that they asked that I share this letter with you.

"I am writing this letter to tell you that, with Stacy from Magic Love Crow, buying the boy paperdoll set, my Asperger's syndrome grandson has had the most fun I've seen him have this holiday vacation. He has worked really hard to color his clothes and has built Major, that's his (paper doll's) name, a closet and has him playing on his pirate ship alongside Jack Sparrow and Capt Barbosa.

This is such a lovely gifting from Stacy and your creation has been such a pleasure for us all. 

Thanks so much. 

Oma Linda"

Included was a coloring page the young lad had completed with great care and lots of love and they, The Humming Belles & Beau, could not resist posting his artistic endeavor's as well.  Job well done Ry!

 

The Humming Belles & Beau are very happy to be a part of this young 

lad's life and look forward to receiving more completed colorings 

from him and others to share with all of you.  

Wishing you a Happy Coloring Day!

New Christmas Outfits!

The Christmas Season is surely upon us ... only 11 more days until Christmas Eve lights will brighten the nite and our spirits as well!  The Humming Belles and Beau are extremely excited to participate in their first ever Christmas Holiday!  This week they realized they had no special outfits or Christmas decorations!

So, today we all sat down and began to design something special just for Christmas!  After much consulting we finally agreed the following outfits and props are just what is needed!

Set #26 for our Humming Beau

And Set #27 for our Humming Belles!

If you order a Humming Belles or Beau Paper Doll Starter Kit during the month 

of December, a Christmas Outfit set will be included with each set!

Merry Christmas!
