How to Draw a Profile...(or how NOT to)

How to draw someones profile... 1.  pin up sheet of paper. 2.  set up light. 3.  position person. 4.  trace.

Easy in theory, but...

...not so when you are using the wiggliest person in the world as your model.

I love how Luke is trying to hold Sylvia's face still while trace at the same time.

Luke then fired Sylvia and hired Isabel instead.  That wasn't much better since the wiggly model rebelled by covering the light.

In the end, Luke had me trace his profile so that he could draw a face on it.

Kid's Center

Yesterday afternoon for one of Luke's Boy Scout requirements he picked out a place to go, found it on the map, gave me directions on how to get there and then at the end calculated how much the fuel cost for the trip...$1.25 by the way.  He picked a toy store called Kid's Center.  This particular toy store is as educational as Mrs. Tiggy Winkle's is artful.

This store has books, collectibles, puzzles, science kits, dress ups, thinking games, you name it.

We found an M.C. Escher puzzle grandpa Oldham would love to help us with.

On the way home we happened to go through a Taco Bell drive through.  While waiting for our food, Sylvia looked at the sixteen year old Taco Bell employee and said, "He's cute.  I want to marry him if he doesn't already have a wife."  Do you think I should be a little worried?
