    This week we are going to continue the FAUNA theme but I have 1... ok, 2 twists!

    1. You will be making a page where either you have an animal feature blended to a person (must be a picture) or an animal (like my example) has a human feature blended to it (from a picture).
    example: In my case there is a very cool giraffe with my eyes and glasses. (In this case I had to add the eye because the glasses alone are not a human feature.) The human blended feature or the HUMAN base MUST be from a picture and not a human/person element in a kit.

    2. You must blend another animal into whatever comes out from step #1. This animal you are blending can be a kit element or picture or whatever as long as is an animal. My example has the parrot body.

    Have fun! I know this one is really out of the box and maybe out of your comfort zone but the reason behind it is to have you trying things you wouldn't even think of it and see what works and what doesn't! ENJOY LIFE!

    I might even record myself doing the page. Hopefully that will help, the problem with recording is that I don't want you gals to think YOU HAVE to do it this way.

    @Dalis I'm confused. You say:
    "The human blended feature MUST be from a picture and not a human element in a kit." But if you don't do a human feature, say two animals, do you have to somehow incorporate a photo into it all???

    There are two parts in the challenge. ONE either you start with an animal and add a human feature or start with a human and add an animal feature. SECOND you must blend an animal to whatever you end up from step #1. Does that help? Step ONE must have a picture of a person to grab the feature from or start as the base.

    Okay, this is what I came up with. I hope it is what you intended.

    Blue eyes on our "elephant" are mine. Then added the butterfly wings. Not sure if the butterfly was enough, so I made this little ellie a zebra.

    This was so much fun. I used a photo of my granddaughter as the human base and blended in sea animals.

    The front "unicorn" has my hair, and I added wings. Then I remembered other winged beasts, searched my hard drive, and found two more, and added human eyes. I've seen this image/ idea somewhere before, but don't remember where...

    Part of this was originally in my other page, but I wanted her to have a page of her own, and expanded on her quite a bit. Those are my eyes...
