More than 22 of 29 faces

Just for fun: A face I tried to form like a relief in gesso. A work in progress!




Face 22: a portrait in my sketchbook.


some sketches I have done earlier, if you would like to see some more faces I have done:

And a little felt-project I'm working on (started yesterday). It is going to have some more embellishments, as I'm going to integrate some gold embroidery. This will be awesome to work with! The felt is made with merino wool, silk fibre and gold thread. It is very soft. I have all forgotten how good these materials feel :-)

Below you see the resist I have cut out of a juice canister:



And the felted figure from two different angles:




Some detail pictures of my stitching:






For the Party on Friday I put something more into it, hope you enjoy the tour through my small projects!

Happy Paint Party Friday!

Here is the link to some fantastic art: PAINT PARTY FRIDAY!!! :-)

And of course the fantastic 29 faces travel at Ayala Art!
