"Smile is the key"

'Smile is the key' is my rendition of one of Maud Tousey Fangel's drawings. This sketch was done using a 2B pencil and a 05 pilot micro tip pen. I did not use any eraser while drawing this. I added the key locket, which is not present in the original drawing by Maud Fangel.

Female Nude

This is based on a photo taken by Virna Haffer whose art is exhibited in the Tacoma Art Museum. We went to the Tacoma Art Museum yesterday and viewed her work. I was inspired to make a sketch of one of her pieces .

We had to create dolls using the pegs shown below. These pegs could be used in the doll body construction or any props along with the dolls. The shapes of the pegs could not be altered.



I created two carolers out of the four pegs. The other two pegs I used for making street lamps.
