Roxanne,

Thanks! I made the faces on the pencils with children's modeling clay. It was difficult to get the tiny faces to have the expressions I wanted, but I had great time and laughed alot.

Your setup was so much more involved and I have a great appreciation for your work.



This was by far the most fun challenge for me so far. I showed more of these photos around the office than any other.

We all need a belly laugh once in a while.

Robin,

This is such a great recreation of a really funny cartoon. As you wondered whether or not I made my set from scratch (which I did), I was also curious as to whether or not you created your faces on the pencils. Very clever and well done. I revisited this image frequently and giggled each time. Nice work!

Here's the original.

Last minute entry. Used modeling clay for faces. Blended colors so they matched the pencils. Used craft store googily-eyes.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions! This was fun to do and even more fun to see everyone elses entry!
