We can all use a giggle right now. This is one of my favorite and yet easiest projects. It’s so much fun and doesn’t take any skill at all — so get your whole family involved.
What you need: old magazines, scissors, glue
Find an image of a face that fills most of a page to use as the base. (Fig 1.) Cut out various body parts…real or imaginary and place them on top of the base image. The whackier the better!
I did one this morning that started with a photo of a beautiful woman from a jewelry store advertisement. Then, I gave her a “facelift” and even redesigned her jewelry. (Fig 2)
Here are a few funny portraits found on Pinterest (Fig 3, Fig 4, Fig 5). See what goofy portraits you come up with and please post to share a laugh with all of us.
