A head of my own

When I made the Ostrich Showgirl for Natalie I used her face design. This morning I thought I would try one of my own. I drew the face and then transfered it to the fabric like she taught me. Then I proceeded to color it in using Nat's technique. But .. I didn't refer to the class notes , I just tried to remember. That way my own coloring techniques came into play too. I'm pretty proud of this ...

Don't mind the body ... it's from a Patti Culea class I took a few years ago and it didn't have a head. This head is a wee bit big but it works. More or less, LOL. I know I keep plugging Nat's class but you'll learn a lot, really! Oh - this is a flat face - no sculpting at all.

and yet... and yet... the head looks GREAT with that body. The oversize-ness sort of emphasizes the whole "over the top" look. And the colors. AND the pose.
