More Progress on Mr Modrian

While this is going rather slowly,  I think you will really be amazed how much a little bit of work has changed this one from last week.  The eyes are not finished, but I can't finish them until it is quilted. Why?  Because I will be adding a bit of paint for the highlight in each eye and I don't want to rub it off as I quilt the piece. 

It is likely that I will use some Inktense Pencils or Inktense Block color to add shading on some of the pieces. There are a few places where the fabric wasn't "just right" so I hope I can enhance with those. 

And just because, here is one I created in AI

I love a beach sunrise.  

Sitting there with a cup of coffee watching the dolphins sounds like heaven to me.

A Little Progress

The Mondrian based face quilt is slo-o-o-o-owly progressing.  I have been busy with other things and haven't spent a lot of time on it.  

Here is where it stands at the moment.  I left the "cut off part of the face" in so that you can see what goes in that black space. 

Here it is with that cut off part over the black

I have been tempted to try printing that on fabric and just using it as one piece. 

Ha ha.  But rather, I will finish it eventually. 

Here is another face just so you aren't looking at only unfinished work. 

I created this one in AI - much like the original that is becoming a quitl. 

This one will NOT become a quilt.

The Face Quilt..... Progress - slow but progress

I have been moving along slowly with the face quilt that I am making from one of my AI artworks.  It is quite time consuming to cut out the rather small pieces and fit them onto the background. 

I confess that it looks a little sloppy right now, but that is part of the process...... Hopefully, this ugly duckling will become a beautiful swan

The photo is our of square, but the quilt should work out nearly square.

There are a few things that I will "fix" with the quilting.  

I do love that he is starting to develop some dimension.  

I think that this may be the most complex face I have attempted. 

I am linking with Nicole for the Friday Face Off for this week.

I think this should count as a "face" even though it is only part of one, so far. 

Well, just to be sure here is one I created with AI on Night Cafe.

FYI,  I consider this one a FAIL because I asked specifically for "clean shaven"

Sewing a Face (and some AI art)

One of my AI artworks is being used as an inspiration for an art quilt.   I am excited to see it coming along.  I spent part of yesterday evening creating the background.

It isn't perfect but it will look great when it is finished, I think. 

A few days ago, I had cut out the head shape from black fabric.  There is a lot of black in the head/face of this so I decided that I would applique the colored parts over it rather than try to sew tiny pieces.

The pin tells me which side goes up. 

I used a paper template to cut out the shape.

I think it worked out pretty well, so far. 

Here is the original piece:

Some of those colors will likely be changed in the final work. 

Now a new AI piece for the Friday Face Off

This one will NOT become a quilt because there are far too many tiny pieces. 

Happy Friday.
