Getting Nosey

A bit more progress on the Bree portrait.

I'm thinking that I may have to adjust a few pieces to make them blend better with each other, but I'll do that after I have everything in place. Who knows, when it is all together I may decide a couple "funky" pieces are just the right amount of character needed. After all, it is the unexpected pattern and colors that I like about working with commercial fabrics.

Kim, your Bree is going to be wonderful. (I found you even with blotspot!) It will be interesting to follow your progress--an ambitious picture. I learned Katie's process several years ago but am put off by the cutting of the heavier card stock. You inspire me to try it again.

Thanks Martha! I think the trick to the process is to not let yourself get overwhelmed by the sheer number of pieces to cut out! ;-) Just approach it one small section at a time and before you know it, it will be done! I really do love Katie's process and the look that it produces. But sometimes I'll take the shortcut and leave out the cardstock, edge-turning, and seam allowances and just fuse, fuse, fuse!
