I found a wonderful photo of my mom when she was little. I wanted to show that Painted Faces can be done in sepia tones. Voila!
Actual photo of my Mom when she was little:
Believe it or not, YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! Learn how to paint faces on fabric. I taught a test workshop to my guild and it was amazing to see these ladies (who did not believe they could do this) were able to successfully learn how to do it. The painted face can then be embellished (the "Fantasy Fabric" way) with cut shapes for hair and added objects (flowers, threads, etc.) captured under a sheer layer of tulle. Once you experience this, you will be able to paint your grandchildren, friends, parents, and children and create a personal quilt just for them.
Take a look at some of the "Painted Face" test workshop STUDENTS work.
