What if I use single threads, cross-hatch style like colored pencil?
This wasn't quite what I had in mind. It got too fussy as I started building up layers, so I decided to try to keep it simple. Need to play around with this technique more.
I have guests staying with me for a week, then a trip to Seattle, so this will be the end of the faces, at least for a while. I really enjoy working in a series like this. It seems for every one I do, I get two new ideas for more. Thanks for following along!

this one was great from a distance... definitely has potential. seeing those gold eyes on the sidebar (of my blog) i was sucked right in...
have a great time away from the computer, robin. and thanks for sharing your face journey with us. i'd love it if there were more!

hey, i just had a thought. what if the cross hatching/shading was machine stitched, with hand stitching in the eyes, nose, mouth...
I've been enjoying following your process. I rather like this one today although just the thought of stitching on the eyes kinda gives me the willies. silly, I know.
Enjoy your company.
Jan, that's so funny about the eyes, but I know what you mean.
Lynne, nice idea aobut the hand stitching--I'll add that to the what if list!
I think this is one of my favorites, I want to see them all lined up.
