Shock, surprise. What happens when we take off our masks and see each other in person?
Every birthday I write a poem or doggerel for the grandchildren along with a small quilt, or now a card. With little information I search for photos and put them into Comic Life which enlarges and makes smaller without loss. I collected photos from young to teen last year, but I asked Erika if I could see her favorite photo should I want to paint her. I had sent her birthday card, but when I got the photos of this year, her favorites without the mask, I saw she had grown up and I needed another card, I returned to Comic Life. I added a flattening filter just for fun and more mystery.
The first card I created, made more sense of the "ears." Looking at the two, you can see what a difference a year has made...what I didn't see happening under the mask.We will all have plenty of visual surprises once this pandemic has passed, as it will. Click to enlarge.
You always do a fun job with your grandchildren’s birthdays. Congrats to them and to you.😊❤️
ReplyDeleteClever, as always! I had never stopped to think about the relationship between masks and young kids growing and changing without our noticing! Very dramatic and well-portrayed here!
