I'm excited again about drawing faces.

Remember way back when with my "how to draw a face" video tutorial at the beginning of the year? I think I've come a long way with the pics. This is from a photo.

These two are from my imagination and scribbled quickly.

I'm just at the beginning of my due diligence. The time you have to put in to "get there."

And I'm having fun.

Bead Tutorial: Useful knot and Mini Ornament

Today it's the multi-talented Judy Coates Perez' turn to enlighten and enliven our day with another ARTSPARK winter tutorial

And as an added bonus....

This short little video will clarify how to make the useful little know that keeps all those beads from flying off your fabric. And I show it to you with a little felt ball ornament - a fun extra.

I do still have kits available for the beaded ornament and have thrown in the mini felt ball so you can make both.

Have fun!
