Here is the button: Grab it and post it wherever you want. Sadly, the service to grab-and-link back doesn't work anymore, but you can always download it and just post a link to the FAQ in this blog ♥<br />

If you are in FB there is a FRAME you can grab! From the 29 faces page, just click and select for a day, a week, or as long as you want it in your profile.<br />
I am not doing the Mr Linky this time around because seems like mostly people are posting in insragram and other networks, but that is fine, we all are still linked together by the hashtag, so don't forget to use it and explain what it is - one pace created every day for the month of February.<br />
Check on youtube as well! I will be posting daily, or as often as time allows.<br />
You don't have to post everyday BUT, you have to give yourself time to do your art.<br />
You will feel so much better!<br />
Leave a comment with your blog posts, let us know if you are participating and from what part of the world. -- Check the tabs above for tons of art links, and check the side bar awesome Links if you need an online class to start.<br />

<br />
Usually I have the button a lot earlier than this, but my excuse if the chaos I have around me with renovations to the house. Don't ask, I have like 2 months worth of words to say in one sitting lol<br />
<br />
Anyway, here it is! Grab it and post it wherever you want! ♥<br />
<br />

<br />
Unfortunately the site where I had it in the past changed their policies about photo sharing so I can't have it like before, with the grab and share link.... but it is just as easily to copy and upload to your blog, and link back here so people know what you are talking about lol<br />
<br />
I have a FAQ <a href="http://29faces.blogspot.com/2015/08/29-faces-faq.html">HERE</a> for those new to the challenge and instructions on the side bar. If you are visiting from a mobile device, please check at the very bottom of the page where it says to see it as a website (something like that)<br />
<br />

There were some technical difficulties for the blog as I was not able to have the Mr Linky for this September, but it will be back on next February.<br />
However, if you want to see tons of art, click the hashtag #29faces and you will see many participants in different networks ♥<br />
See you in February!<br />

<br />
Are you getting ready? For those that like prompts, I will have a list, totally optional, and as always: Use those stashed art supplies, practice that new technique, or start making faces for the first time!! Every level is welcome, every medium and style is appreciated... have fun and fly with the rest of us <b>Art Addicts</b>, while creating 29 faces in September (one extra day)<br />

<br />
I want to thank each and every person participating in this challenge!
To those that finished them all, to those that just made a few....
Those that found it hard and those that tried something new to them....
Pat yourself in the shoulder, you guys!! I hope you all had fun, met
new friends and learned something new about yourself, I know I did, and loved seeing your art every day, here and in facebook, instagram, hundreds of faces!<br />
<br />
Remember you can still post in the public page if you didn't finish. ♥<br />
<br />
Here is a collection of faces from Maria Clark, Sweet Willow Designs.<br />

I myself am learning patience and acceptance that sometimes we just have to take a detour, take a different path or slow down, even if I know I can do better.... Why? Because every time I run this challenge, something unplanned happens. This time was a move, which we were so sure would happen in October, but no, had to be as September started and it has been nuts.<br />
We still can' find stuff in boxes -- so much for having someone helping, right?<br />
But anyway, I am trying to keep up, changed directions, switched gears and I am doing the challenge on my iPad, which I have to confess, I have no idea how to use fast and therefor the "patience" part of my learning while doing the challenge.<br />
<br />
Talk to you soon and I hope whatever you are dong, you are having fun!!Ayala Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13685455399147271512noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920808717673226044.post-19394291110987835882016-08-24T17:29:00.002-07:002016-08-24T17:29:50.158-07:0029 faces in SeptemberHere is the blog button!<br />

You can copy the text and paste it in a gadget in your blog, and feel free to post it anywhere else you want, just include a link to this blog so people don't get lost.<br />
<br />
Before we start, it helps to tell others what is this challenge, so make your first post about your goal this September, like: pencil sketches, or watercolor faces, or any technique you want to improve or try for the 1st time ♥<br />
<br />
On the 1st of September (pacific time) I will upload a tab (top menu) with the "Mr Linky" for everyone to add their challenge related posts. As always, any unrelated blog will be deleted.<br />
<br />
Are you getting hyper about it?? . . . . I am!!! :oD<br />
<br />
Questions? Check the side bar menu <b>---->></b><br />
Comments? Always welcome!

Weather starts changing, cool to warm, warm to cool, depending on where we are in the planet... and we start thinking of 29 faces ♥<br />
<br />
What new to you tool do you want to use, to practice with?<br />
Is there a paper, canvas, material you are curious to try?<br />
Is there a medium you heard of but are hesitant to use?<br />
<br />
This is the time to dare! Use all the collage paper, the pencils, pastels, crayons etc that have been thinking of buying, or better yet... you already bought but have not tried!!<br />
<br />
The fun of this project is that you will be in the same boat as many artists of different levels, doing faces, trying new things, or a new technique, and you know that practice makes perfect, so, working every day for a month, will leave you with more experience in that area or with that product, in the company of people that will celebrate your work, and give you awesome eye candy in their blogs, for you to admire.<br />
<br />
Win/win situation!<br />
<br />
So, get ready, grab the blog button *(coming up soon), invite any other friend that you think might want to try portraits, even if it is their first time! All levels welcome, all countries, all mediums, all sizes.<br />
<br />
People that have participated before can tell you it is a crazy lot of fun! ;oD<br />
<br />
See you in September!<br />
<br />
P.S. Check the tabs on the top menu to see past events! hundreds and hundreds of faces to see, from all over the world!Ayala Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13685455399147271512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920808717673226044.post-28898085355975577562016-03-18T10:43:00.002-07:002016-08-24T17:22:16.314-07:00See you in September ♥ #29facesHey guys, this is a slide show with my faces for this past February, I hope you had as much fun as I did.... and be ready for next September when we do it again!!

P.S. I noticed in the past months different groups with a similar name to "29 faces", which is kind of sad and confusing. (30, 24, 100, 365 etc <i>faces</i>) and have nothing to do with this challenge... I wish they had picked another different name, but that's what it is.<br />
<br />
The 29 faces challenge runs in February and September and all levels of expertise and mediums are welcome ♥<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting!Ayala Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13685455399147271512noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920808717673226044.post-42020043240094393212016-02-18T11:55:00.001-08:002016-02-19T19:17:48.804-08:00A note of self respect and appreciation <br />
Dear artist friends:<br />
Each
time for the past 4 years that I have run the 29 faces challenge, I
hear all kinds of comments about the frustration of a starting artist or
worse yet, some vague or direct criticism of another person's art (do
not worry, I cut those short from the group, after a friendly
recommendation of being kind and not a troll).<br />
<br />
I want
you to read this words out-loud: "No one is born knowing" I have been
saying that countless times not only for art but life in general. In
fact it is one of my favorite things to say!<br />
We are born knowing
nothing. We do not have to be perfect when we just started a new craft.
Give yourself permission to have many messy creations -in this case
faces-. And do not compare yourself with someone that has been working
on their craft for years.<br />
<br />
Respect and love those distorted wobbly faces, because those are the first steps to go where you want!<br />
Being
it realism or whimsical... pencil sketches or oils. It all needs,
requires and it is expected to have "ugly", "messy", "weird" pieces.<br />
If
you don't like them, observe what it is that you don't like and work on
it. Enjoy the steps. I can promise you with practice you will get where
you want. Take it in small parts, work on eyes for a while, then only
in making the mouth... then maybe ears, or nose...<br />
If you are
totally new to drawing, don't expect a Da Vinci result, but rather see
the components of a face, practice parts of the face till you got them
the way you want.<br />
<br />
It is perfectly fine to do whimsical
and do them in your own style. Not everyone has to do realism! If you
like a more realistic approach then by all means, practice and accept
the "fail" faces, and then compare them months later or a year later and
you will see how much you have grown as an artist.<br />
I have seen it time after time, right here in the challenge! :o) <br />
<br />
Do
not give up. Find the time to practice for a few minutes and more than
anything, have fun in this challenge, with hundreds of other
like-minded people flying together.<br />
<br />
Much love and a pat in the shoulder for you ♥<br />
<br />

How are you doing? How has it been between trying new things and posting daily... or *almost* daily? ;o)<br />
Lets do the last few days memorable... Did you try something new yet? Did you get better at it? Did you mess up horribly?? lol<br />
Remember, you don't have to do a Master piece each time, but you have to dare to try the materials or styles that you have been thinking of, or that technique to practice... something different.<br />
We are starting the count down....24... 25... 26....<br />

All the new people joining for the first time, I hope you are enjoying it! Most of us seem to find challenging the mechanics of posting everyday, but not the faces lol<br />
For those that like prompts, this week, try to do a face in 3/4 or profile, if you have not done one ever. And or work on a monotone portrait, play with lights and shadows.<br />
<br />
Use all your stash! All those goodies, use them up! :o) For those that are just starting and have no clue what to do, I put together <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ACEOandArtDolls" target="_blank">in my shop</a> a sample kit, with over 20 items, and a fun list of ideas, prompts, techniques... for a limited time only ♥<br />
<br />
We have grown so big! if you have instagram check the hashtag #29faces and #29faceschallenmge and you will see thousands of posts! Unfortunately those cannot be linked from this blog because you need to be in a mobile devise to post there. But if you are already there... have fun looking at all the awesome faces ☺<br />
<br />
Have fun and keep your paintbrush wet! Your pencil sharpened, your mouse moving.... whatever you use to make your faces! lolAyala Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13685455399147271512noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920808717673226044.post-76157708097430797012015-08-28T15:10:00.001-07:002015-08-28T15:15:32.435-07:00The button is here!Here is the new graphic:

I am offering one as a test now! :oD<br />
<br />
There are only 9 kits available, with samples to try and it includes a 29 prompts list!<br />
It is only offered for the US at the moment. Time and demand will tell if it will expand later on. See it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/245376223/assortment-of-materials-to-test-for-the?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
It is not necessary to buy it, to participate. It is only for those that have sent notes about it :o)<br />
