Practice

This is yesterday's effort that I've done some major tweaking to this morning. 

It is a self-portrait based on a selfie.  There is a good resemblance though some issues.  The eye on the left side of the page is good while the shape of the one on the right needs revision (based on where the high point is supposed to be).  The mouth needs more work, even after changing it numerous times.

That said, sometimes you just have to call a project done and move on.  Maybe I'll do another version some day.

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.
