Hello WOYWWers, are you ready to hop around the world? Take a peek at other crafty people's desks, thanks to the wonderful Julia of Stamping Ground who gathers a whole lot of those people on her site. Take a look and have fun visiting all those creative spaces.
Perhaps some of you remember what was on my desk last week:
Over the past few days I continued working on this canvas - I'm not a very fast worker, especially not when there are so many other things to do. Yesterday it looked like this:
And today, I was finally able to finish it.
This is my first canvas for the She Art Workshop with Christy Tomlinson I'm taking at the moment. Her girls usually don't have faces, but I couldn't leave my girl without any kind of face. I haven't painted faces before and I practised a lot until I just did it - nothing elaborate as you can see - and I'm quite happy with the result. I had incredible fun creating this canvas, playing around. I looked forward to it every day. I'm so glad I signed up for this class.

Wow, I love your finished canvas!
Thanks for the peek and sharing. Hugs, Marjo #6
What a fantastic canvas! Love how it turned out - I would never have known you were going down that route.
Your canvas looks wonderful. I never made one by myself, but I hope I can do it once. I'm also a slow worker and I don't care because it's fun to make all these Arts.

Oh how marvellous is that - cheerful and bright - and the face is perfect! Every daughter should have one! Love your Altoid tin stuffed with colours!
I'm totally in love with your girl, face, frock and all!

OMG, Carola. You are quite the artist! I love not only the finished canvas but the image of your work space. It made my fingers itchy just seeing it. :) In fact, just last week I got out my colored felt-tipped pens and colored a Native American mandela. Something I haven't done in years! It felt so good.
indeedy, there is nothing better than that wonderful buzz feeling when you do a new thing and it comes up good, yeehah - go conquer that world girl!!!

Fantastic result! No face seems a bit spooky to me - and yours is ready to conquer the world :) Di x

I think you have created such character in her face with simple detail... it really works and I agree that facial features are needed. Love her!
thanks for popping by my blog,

She is just delightful! And I share your dislike of blank faces too ..
Fab desk and creations!

How fun! I love your canvas prep and all that background work-beautiful. Oh and I'm with you about having to have faces on human figure drawings-I can't just leave them faceless! Too sweet my dear and thank you for your comments always at my blog, you're so kind.
Oh she is so sweet. Her face sets the tone for the entire piece! It is great Carola. Sounds like a fun class. Happy WOYWW!
What a beautiful piece of art!
fabulous canvas - happy WOYWW x
Wunderschön, eine ganz tolle Seite, ich bin begeistert.
What a great canvas! I wasn't around last week, so I am glad you showed the background again. It's nice to see where something started and the end product!
I think I am going to have to check out these classes Carola. Love what you have done. I like to see the photos of "whats on your desk" its like a mini workshop giving an insight on how and what you have done.
That's lovely. I always struggle with faces.
That's a wonderful piece and it looks like it was a lot of fun to make. TFS.
Hi Carola, thank you so much for commenting on my blog, I wrote an answer to you there.
We definitely share a passion for photography, art and learning by doing! ;) It's so nice to meet you!
Mir fällt erst jetzt auf, dass ich ja auch in deutsch schreiben kann, aber das kommt mir etwas unhöflich vor, da mich die anderen Leser vermutlich nicht verstehen...
Verrätst Du, wo aus welchem Teil Deutschlands Du herkommst? Ich wohne im Norden bei den Stadtmusikanten.
Herzliche Grüße,
Katharina
you can't tell faces are not your expertise! she is adorable!
WOW Carola, your canvas has turned out fantastic and I love your girl and the colours are stunning!!
Hi again and thank-you for popping over to see me! In response to your question, this is the first year I've done this. Can't manage to do a week every week, and too much goes by in a month to remember, but a fortnight feels about right. Just experimenting. Many thanks again, and will be visiting often. :)
She is beautiful...I LOVE your art! I showed my new tag from OWOH this morning and gave a link to your blog! Hope you can stop by! A couple of days ago, I showed a collage frame of tags that I put together and yours is there, too! Thanks! ♥
What a fantastic canvas. You have got some much detail in it and your lady's face is perfect, it suits her so well. Well done you.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork.

Woo, Carla, this is just so fab... I love her face and the colours are so vibrant... Great work

Wow, what a transformation - the finished canvas is terrific and I love her face. Elizabeth x #97
AMAZING creation.. I love her face :)
Wishing you a lovely weekend. Hugs, Gez.xx
Hi Carola,
Love your canvas...it is fabulous. Thanks for photographing your process too. I love seeing how you got to the finished product.
I ended up working 3 days in a row and I am exhausted. Not surprising since it has been 6 years since I last worked as a teacher. The icing on the cake is I received a paycheck! Woo hoo me! Cha-ching I'm going shopping!
