hmmmm

this was tough!

I started with this picture

then posterized it using Picnik, and photocopied it to black and white, which effectively reduced the number of colours to 5!  Is this going to work???

I decided I was going to do it monochromatically, so pulled out my blue hand dyes, but soon realized my darkest was not going to be dark enough, so found a dark print that works.  Copied it all to Heat'nBond lite, snip snipped away, and then laid it all out.

hmmmm.

pretty strange looking.

What if I get further away?

Better

now that looks better! I bet if I could get even further away it would look even better!(maybe even less like me!)

Time to stitch it all down and quilt it, which may take me a while yet, but It'll get done.

I am so glad I tried this - definitely was a challenge, and my left brain was having a hard time with it, but I persevered, and I'm quite happy with the result!
