I was asked to paint a 'cut out board that you stick your face through the holes and someone takes your picture' (What on earth is this really called?) for some fun at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival. I think it turned out pretty cute. Hopefully everyone can recognize the five fiber animals. Hint - that is NOT a lamb or baby abominable snowman on the bottom!
Poor Iris hates to have her picture taken. I did manage to get one with her eyes open. Sort of. Usually she's got them squinted shut in nervous embarrassment. I had an old "Lassie" collie years ago that LOVED to have his picture taken. You didn't even have to ask. If I pulled the camera out, he'd run over to wherever I had it pointed :-).
Tilly's not big on pictures either.

I'm not good at self-promotion (I feel like Iris and Tilly staring into a camera!) but on May 17th and 18th...
- I'll have my usual Punkin's Patch booth set up with cards, roving, raw fleeces...
- Some of the sheep will be there as well. Not. Maisie. as we remember how much she hated going to the festival last year :-o.
- The sheep have volunteered to be part of a
Kissing Boothspecial edition of Hug a Sheep Day both afternoons to help raise money for the local 4-H and FFA.
- And...I'm going to teach a workshop this year, Blogging with a Side of Photography. We are going to talk a little about blogging and how one would go about getting started and then get into the best part of blogging, the pictures. I'll share some of my favorite photography tips,
kick you in the buttencourage you to dig out your camera's (any type of camera!) owner's manual to really step up your skills and then we'll head out into the festival area and take some pictures.
- And don't forget the Bluegrass Classic Stockdog Trial will be going on at the same time :-D.
It will be a fun weekend for sure!
