Welcome to the September 16th version of the Friday Face Off. For today's "challenge" I have created another quilted face using both batik and hand dyed fabrics. I love working with both of these fabrics when I am creating. The colors are richer because they penetrate through the fabric. Batiks are also a type of dyed fabric rather than a printed fabric. This means that you can use either side of the fabric (in most cases) to create as you wish.
The background for this face is a lovely red/orange that blends into a rich yellow.

The hair is all made of batik fabrics as are the clothing and the nose.
I believe that all of the other fabrics are hand dyed.
While nearly all of the quilting is done with black to achieve
a sketched quality, the face is quilted with a green thread.
The background is quilted with a yellow thread.
Soon, the piece will have a black fused binding added.
Then it will be mounted on a black-edged art canvas for ease of hanging.

to see how various people interpret the challenge.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative
