A few more embellishments

I decided to add another leaf and a butterfly to my Faces on Fabric. I am more pleased now and ready to move on to Lesson 4 next week. The colors in this photo are a little closer to the actual colors than the previous post. At least the skin has a flesh tone now.

Fabric Selection for Faces

I think I have finally decided on the fabrics I will use for my Faces Art Quilt. Last evening I picked out an entirely different batch of fabrics but when I saw them this morning, I decided they weren't bright enough. I want my face to pop off the background. I'm thinking this color of blue will work because the hair is shades of brown. Since blue and brown are opposites on the colorwheel, I am hoping the blue will help pop my face on the quilt. I haven't selected the fabric for the butterflies and I haven't decided if they will be one color or two colors. I think I will do my templates both ways and then I can decide. My flesh fabric really doesn't show up here but is more of a flesh tone.

We are making the templates this week and selecting fabric. The class is great. It is my first on-line class. I also began another class yesterday. I'll post about it later.

More Faces

I worked on these sketches last evening. The top sketch is my first attempt at having the face look to the side. I guess I need to keep working on this. I'm really enjoying creating these sketches.

Terri has complimented me on the drawings and asked if I have an previous experience. I, on the other hand, think it's pretty obvious that this is my first attempt at sketching.
