I'm making more of the faces that I learned how to draw in Angela Jarecki's online class, Windows. This time I decided that I'd mount them to one of those thick sided artist canvases to give it a bit more presence on the wall. The face is drawn with colored pencils on a piece of light brown cotton muslin - protected with a thin spray of Krylon Matte Finish. There's a variety of fabrics for the frame - velvety knits, batiks, iridescent rayons, and that rust colored decorator fabric on the left. Finished with a sprinkling of beads. What do you think? What color frame and canvas would you like to see for the next two? Green? Yellow? Blue? Purple? Or perhaps a neutral theme of beige, tan & brown? Or black & white?
I'll need to make two more because I was invited to offer something for sell at the Open Studios that the Flying Phoebe Cloth Doll Club is hosting on Saturday June 4th & Sunday June 5th from 11am to 6pm at the Goose Cottage in Alameda, CA. It's at 1610 Minturn Street just off Lincoln between Grand & Union. If you're in the Bay area please come take a look. There's going to be some spectacular dolls and other art for sale.
