Faces on Fabric
My Favorite so far ... This is the one I want to work up into the class project.
I started a new online class this week called Faces on Fabric with Terri Stegmiller. I'm always looking for other options for faces in portrait quilts.
For starters, Terri suggests drawing a face every day. Good advice--and it really doesn't take that long to do a face this way. Here's where I started :
Face #1
Face #2
Face #3
Face #4
Face #5 (A little practice goes a long way!)
Today, I was on a roll ... I started drawing friends. I pulled out one of our wedding albums. We had a great photographer in Mary Gordon who took many candid portraits of our wedding guests--some no longer with us.
