Thought I would share part of a set of pencil drawings I did. I took sign language classes and the instructor wanted drawings of her hands signing her name. This is the first three letters of her name. I took photographs of her hands signing her name and worked from those. Later tonight, I will post the finished product matted and framed. Gotta run for now.

Just realized in the images attached, I scanned from album so had the third letter in horizontal position. It would be vertical like the other two.

I found the photo of the matted and frame piece so will post before I have to run for a bit. The gals name is TORPY and the images are the letters of the alphabet for the deaf for her name. If you don't sign but use the alphabet only, it is called "fingerspelling". Beautiful language.

Wow those are brilliant! I want to find out how to spell my name with sign i'll have to have a search on the net. Very interesting idea! Love it!

Oh by the way people, the art tutor job I went for, they were very impressed I think I may have it, but they said if not they are willing to train me up for the tutor skills as they are impressed with the art side of things. I am completely over the moon! I hated having to go for jobs doing things that don't even interest me. Now I have found something that I will love doing and also earn a living at the same time.

Cal, am anxious to see your whale pics. Also anxious to know how the visit goes with your friend!

I appreciate your comment/compliment on my pencil drawings. That means a lot to me. Just made my day.

I am ready to see your creativity burst forth again!

Wow--this thread is a lot to take in. I have been buzzing around this forum for over a week now but--as you told me not to be Clough--I have been way too intimidated to even start a post. Everyone here seems really active in their art, which is great to see. With two kids I don't paint as often as I would like. Though I see that some of you have the same situation and prevail anyway.

Thanks--I've been inspired to buckle down and work with some color--if only to keep the right side of my brain from seizing.
