Mademoiselle LaFleur - a start

On Monday, I decided to start another face while I was (not-so) patiently waiting for the mail to arrive.  Here is the point I got to while I was waiting.  There is still a bit of work to go. 

For this face, I decided to try some Inktense pencils for some of the features -and to adjust the color of some of the fabrics.  At this point, all of the facial features are made with the pencils.  I will of course be adding stitches for more definition.  Some white paint will be added to put a small highlight in the eyes. 

The red flower headdress is made of another piece that I started and was not happy with the composition. Luckily I had just fuse-tacked the pieces in place, so most of them were able to be salvaged.  I think they made a nice headdress.  Perhaps you remember this lady's niece, "Flower Girl"

She was my first in the series of faces.  I had made one face prior, but I don't count that one in the series.  Flower Girl actually has flowers in place of her hair. Mme. LaFleur wears a flower headdress to support her unusual niece.  

I can certainly see that my style and my skill has increased as I have continued to make these faces. 

However, I am thinking that perhaps I need to start a new series.  I just need an idea that sparks my creativity. 

Until Next Time,  

Stay Creative
