Muriel

Previously I had shown you that I had started another face.  Although at that time it was just a head shape on a background.   Over the past weekend,  I started on the eyes, added a neck and a body. On Monday,  I started "playing" and got the rest of the face and the hair added.   Then I fused everything in place and layered the quilt. 

She told me that her name is Muriel.  So far, she hasn't shared her story, but I am sure that she has one.  

I hope to have Muriel quilted and finished in time for  the Friday Face Off.  But for now you can see her in her unfinished state.

When you see the finished portrait,  you will surely see just how much the quilting adds to these pieces. 

Until Next Time,

Quilted, Not Bound - and A Start

Yes, I did finish quilting the baby quilt.  With all the flowers on this one, I am sure it will make some little girl quite happy. Although, the colors are so happy and bright that I think little boys will like it too. 

It is still in need of binding, and I have not decided on which fabric to use. 

I also started (barely) on a new face.  I put the red background behind it, 

but the more I looked at it,  the more I thought "not enough contrast!" 

So I decided to choose a different fabric for the background. 

This background gives a much stronger contrast.

It makes me happier, and perhaps it will inspire me to 

continue with the process.  (Confession:  the featureless face has

been on my quilting table for several days now, just looking sad

and alone.  Hopefully, I will start the eyes soon.  That always

gets me in a great mood to do all of the rest of the facial 

features and start adding hair.  

I love doing the hair, because it is 

just "play with shapes and do something wild."

Friday Face Off July 8, 2022

I have been somewhat lazy this week and only started a new face on Thursday.  So today will be a "flashback Friday" face for me.   And since we are in July,  why not "Christmas in July" also?

Several years ago, I took a watercolor class on portraits. That inspired me to paint a few faces. So for a Christmas card that year,  I decided to make a Santa Claus card.  It isn't great but it is a face! 

The eyes are probably my favorite part of this painting.

The Friday Face Off is hosted by DVArtist.  Clicking that link will take you to 

her blog.  It is a great opportunity to see how various people interpret the 

"Face Off" challenge. 

PS  I have finished quilting the small quilt 

It still needs a binding but I will show it to you soon. 

Until Next Time,

Friday Face Off

Welcome to another week of the Friday Face Off.  This "challenge" has really sparked my creative process. 

I am linking up with DVArtist.  You can go to her blog to visit other "Face Off" participants. 

Last week, there was a tutorial showing the process I use to start these.  

That was the beginning of Alien Man.  He is today's face off contribution. 

Until Next Time,
