 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!
 
I hope all of you had a good week. I had 3 1/2 days of gorgeous weather. I was able to get more of my garden set up and many vegetables planted. Then, up came the wind and rain. We will have heavy rain for the next 9 days. Starting at 5PM we will have 35 to 45 MPH sustained winds and 60 MPH gusts. Ohhh, I'm so flippen thrilled. I have battened down the garden and hope it will still be standing when this wind is over. 
 
This umbrella comes in handy for the garden when it is just days on end rain. I had to take them off for the wind. 
As for art, again no time at all.
A few weeks ago I had a dentist appt. Before the appt. I was informed that my dental insurance had been canceled. WHAT??? So now I have to pay out of pocket. Well, credit card.
I think I have mentioned before that lupus and especially sjogrens is very hard on teeth.
With that here is what I found for FFO.
These were all on Pinterest.

FFO CKD History Art

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.
