Productive Day

The second lichen-dyed figure got finished up today.  

  

I decided to give her a face of the light brown raw silk, features drawn on with my super-fine Sharpie marker and Prismacolor pencil.  Once I was done drawing, I stitched her face onto her head, allowing some of the wonderful lichen stains to show around it.

 

Also completed today is this little piece for another local show in September entitled 'Rise Up', and sponsored by our local domestic violence prevention program, WAVE (Woman's Aide in Violent Emergencies).

'Home Fires' approximately 18"x24", Procion on cotton, machine quilted
