Something Totally Out Of My Comfort Zone, Liz Taylor, New Crow Art

Hi Everyone ;o) I have something to share with you ;o) My friend, Ileana, is doing the 75 sketches in 75 days challenge and in this, she is also doing the 29 faces in 29 days challenge. So she has combined the two and is only sketching faces. Well, today, she has reached her 75th sketch! Yepee! What she asked, from her followers, (if they wanted to participate), was to sketch a portrait of Elizabeth Taylor. All who participated, Ileana would be posting them on her blog and then everyone would see, all the different ways people sketched the same face. This is the picture we are to sketch from.

Well, I was a little nervous on this challenge because I don't do faces and I don't sketch! I first thought of doing an Elizabeth Taylor crow, but, then I thought no, do your best Stacy, go for it. So I did ;o) I did half a face ;o) LOL! But, I still did it ;o) Here is my face ;o)

I had fun and it was a great challenge for myself! Thanks Ileana ;o) Have some fun and go check out her blog, to see all the different versions of Elizabeth Taylor ;o)

Here is some new crow art ;o)

"Nature Calls"

"Nature's Fortune Teller"

"The Drummer"

"Picking Flowers"

Have a great weekend everyone ;o) Big Hugs ;o)

Winter, Winner, Malware Warning, Another Surprise

Hi Everyone ;o) Well, we are in the middle of a winter wonderland ;o)
There is a road out there somewhere???

I know many of you think I am crazy, but I really love this weather! I love coming in from outside with rosie cheeks ;o)

I have already snow shoveled the driveway four times. I know, it doesn't look like it! I have to admit, the last time, my neighbor came over and helped me ;o)

If you are in the middle of this storm, please be safe and stay nice and warm. I know many of you don't like winter, but make the most of it ;o) Cuddle up and have some hot chocolate ;o) For me, green grass in February, just doesn't seem to be right!

Now, for the winner of the painting, that I did with Conny ;o) It is.........................---------------------------Jan ;o))) Yeh Jan ;o) Please confirm your address with me ;o)))

Now, have any of you been hit with the warning, Malware??? I have been trying to visit blogs, but yesterday was the worst. I couldn't even go through my new posts. Blogger kept coming up, "Malware Warning Ahead", do not go any further. So, I couldn't even visit. Then, I just decided to go through my list, one by one, which is working better. I wanted to let you all know this, if you were wondering why I haven't been around. I have been trying ;o)))

Ok, the last thing is the SURPRISE ;o))) I thought I would do one more giveaway ;o) Yepeee ;o))) So you know the rules, right? You tell me what you want and I enter your name ;o) There will be three things you can win and if you want them all, just say it ;o) The first two items is either a crow aceo called, "My Heart" or a baby crow aceo called, "A Magical Place".

The third item is a book. I know many of you are readers, so I thought I would throw a book into the mix, once and awhile ;o) This book is called, "Through The Faerie Glass". I first saw this book on Mina's blog and I thought it looked interesting. Here is a little writing from the inside ;o)

You'll begin the story, as these stories often begin, like this: "Once upon a time, in a beautiful land far far  away, there dwelt some lovely Fairies."
So you want to talk about Faeries? Cute, sweet, lovely Faerie creatures? Well, I hate to be the one to change your opinion, but Faeries are scary. Yes, that's what I said: Faeries are scary, awesome, frightful creatures.

I have to admit, I am going to be buying this book for myself!
So, let me know  my friends, what you would like to win ;o) The giveaway will end Thursday February 14th and I will announce the winners on Friday February 15th ;o) Good luck everyone ;o)

Big Hugs ;o)

For the pink background, I actually combined a piece of art that was given to me from Ann. I felt these two pieces were made for each other;o)

Here is a picture of both backgrounds on their own.

For the blue background, I asked Conny, if she didn't mind if I did a pay it forward. I felt very blessed with her giving me 3 gifts. And, she was happy with my decision. So, if you like the painting I did on the 4 x 6 blue background that Conny made, please tell me and you will have a chance to win it ;o) A little piece of Canada and Germany, for one lucky person ;o) The giveaway will end Thursday February 7th and I will announce the winner on Friday February 8th ;o) Here is what you can win ;o) Hope you like it.
