Fiber Face Collage
I've been working on collage faces made of fabrics for an on line workshop I'm teaching called Fiber Face Collage and decided to include how to do a collage based on a photograph in the lessons. I created 2 from photographs. The first, which is above, I call Jasmine and she was a beautiful face I found on the internet and fell in love with. She'll get a curly fabric as hair later. Here's her original photo.
Next I used a photo of a friends beautiful daughter, Cate. I loved the pink and blue tones in the photo and hand dyed the skin tone fabrics with Dye-Na-Flow. Her hair is create with 8 different prints including calicos and batiks. 
Here is Cate's original photo. Cate is currently on a trip to Atlanta so I can't wait to hear what she thinks about this piece using her as my inspiration. Her mom loved it! 
Looks like it will be a fun class for all fabric enthusiasts. I can see art quilters really loving this class. When you get it ready and announced let me know. I can send it along to the guild here, as I think there would be interest in your techniques.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cody! It just started at Joggles and will start on Doll Street Sept 15th.
