Thanks for the great class Chris!   Did this in Fresco - favorite iPad app. With no good bio photo, I decided to sketch the only decent photo I have at the moment and then used a little symmetry, a little random placing of flowers, a favorite saying, a few happy birds, etc.  I put it on my website in the About section - where I mentioned this class.  

Website is not finished, still working on getting all my art uploaded into the gallery.  carolinemariadesign.com
