Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)
This
is the place to show off your faces or your face. Post any type of face
from any medium. You can create it, or find it in nature, or even that
face in the design of the
woodwork in your house.
Human, animal, alien,
or monster.
ANY KIND OF FACE!
Hi Everyone!
Before I get into FFO. I want to respond to a comment I got from Monica and thank her for the information about the potassium. I am trying to reduce that in Mr. M's. diet due to CKD in the one kidney he has left.
Monica wrote,
"This is what
one place says about it "Potassium is an essential electrolyte that is
important for several processes in the body. Its main function is to
regulate signals from the brain and spine to the muscles and contribute
to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles." Seems
important to me!"
This is all true with a person who has 2 healthy kidneys. With CKD the kidney has trouble eliminating the excess potassium causing hyperkamemia, which can cause serious heart problems, heart attract and even death. So reducing potassium is just one of my goals to keep Mr. M. stable.
Now for FFO
These are some faces I would like to draw. I haven't had my pencils out in months but am feeling like drawing.
This is an interesting face. I like the glasses too.
I love this woman, cigarette and pearls.
I found a wonderful site that shows interesting historic photos. Here are a few of them.

I hope everything goes well and Mr. M stabilizes.
And when everything is well, grab your pencils and draw this beautiful face with the glasses.
I love the old photos you uploaded!
Have a happy Friday and
a happy first day of Spring my friend!!
Those are interesting faces and I look forward to seeing them as your drawings in this space one day.
Christmas dinner, immigrant family and girls washing clothes on the street are three great photos! Those historic photos are really interesting! Thank you for sharing, Nicole!
Congrats to Grannie Annie and to Kokopeli
Happy Friday to all
Much♡love
Lovely photos! Hugs, Valerie
Oh, the world is changed a lot from those days - luckily!
Thanks for sharing, and wishing a happy upcoming weekend 💐
I'll get back to you a little later! 😊
thank you for explaining in response to one comment that potassium can be upsetting for people with kidney issues dear Nichole
tons of healing energy to you hubby ! may he recover asap ameen!
i enjoyed glimpses of old times .specially the woman riding bike in early 1900 was astonishing as i thought it wasn't until 50s
i also enjoyed the woman with pearls and girl with glasses :)
Dear Nicole, it's admirable how you take care of your husband's health! It's a shame you can't draw during this time; you're so talented, and we know how important it is to you. But there are priorities, I understand that very much.
As for the woman with the cigarette and the pearl necklace, she reminds me of the types of people photographed by Vivian Maier. Do you know this American street photographer, whose remarkable work only became known after her death? If not, here's an English-language Wikipedia link, and Google is full of images she took: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivian_Maier
The page with the old photographs you found is great. It celebrates the "everyday"—not the wealthy white society, but rather "ordinary" oder "poor" people, women, immigrants... people of whom there aren't many photos from that time. I find the photo from 1904 with the family lined up according to size delightful; in Austria, we say "like the organ pipes" 😊.
All the best and lots of energy hugs, Traude
Best of luck on the health front and thanks for including these wonderful period photographs. They are all great but I especially like the last one.
Yes, like most things potassium is both good and bad. It is a required nutrient but too much will kill you. The same with water - drinking too much water causes water intoxication that can lead to death.
I love those old photos.
Historic photos always reveal the lifestyle at the time
Those historic photos are fantastic. They tell us so much about another time and place with all the details in setting and clothing. Happy Friday!
Really nice old pics. And yes, the photo with the woman with cigarette is great. Have a wonderful friday

Of course you've had no time to draw lately. No need to apologize, but I can't wait to see those faces when you do draw them. Have a super weekend. hugs-Erika
I hope the potassium struggle helps a lot!
I LOVE the faces you showed and then all the fantastic old photos--OMG! They are wonderful!! Thanks! Really enjoyed them all. :)
...take care and I wish both of you good health.
Mr M is fortunate for having you by his side, Nicole! Best wishes for his and your health. Thanks for sharing the historical site and some of its photos. The woman with pearls and cigarette is awesome. Love and hugs to you!
Love the old photos.
Everyone of us wants to help Mr. M. Plus I love every item on your post. Plus I am happy my FFO from last week hit the selection spin.
Hello, I am new here. So happy I found your fun prompts.
Thanks for sharing the historical photos.
Great collection of artwork as well!
I look forward to visiting some of the links.
