Ok this is my self portrait. I have made a heap of mistakes and so I covered it with the net. I over machined the hair so the face pucked. I stippled the dress less and it sat flat. I have post this so you can at least see I tired. This was a very hard challenge for me and it did not turn out the way I would have liked.
I took a picture and then printed it onto a silk sheet. I then went about thread painting the piece in a hoop. It would have been much better had I not completely filled in the hair with colour.
I can't wait to see the others and how they turned out.
Shirley yours is lovely.

I wish I could see the details you so elegantly covered with a veiled on the hat. It was a great rescue,if in fact it needed to be rescued :)
ReplyDeleteDo you belong to a redhat group?
I think one problem is we are so hard on ourselves, so that conveyed that fact perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job! And I agree with Gudrun, wish I could have seen your details.
This is wonderful Del -- I love it! Shirley
ReplyDeleteDelia,
ReplyDeleteYour portrait turned out great! ...and mysterious :)
We tend to be our own worst critics. I think this is very creative.
