My printer went on the fritz, and I couldn't get anything to print
so I had to sketch roughly and quickly a rough outline of my photo..

Here I traced again the hair to make the pattern, then cut it out...
using the flowers to make the highlights...
I knew I wanted to bump up the COLOR on my portrait...
Just because I live in blue and brown, didn't' mean
I have stay that way on my portrait! ;-)
Artistic license!!
(sort of like the orange bags under my eyes!) HE HE!
So I went with some favorite colors and fabrics so far...
These are only laid out...
I would cut a pattern piece out of paper,then cut it out of fabric
nd all of these pieces are just laid on right now...
I will fuse them down, and machine stitch it out...

I had some ideas of adding a big crazy background, so i started playing
needs some more darks in my hair... It's sort of scary looking
but fun! Simpler is better!
It's much jazzier than I would have thought I would do...
And no more bags under my eyes! yippeee!
it also went much faster laying out then I thought it would.. now to fusing it...
that will be a bit of a drag... oh well... enough for today!
Hope this gives you some ideas for starting...
have fun!

Wonderful, surprising and an inspiration! I was expecting a wallflower! Not this lady, not so!!
This is fabulous! You rock!
That is so cool! I have been playing with my picture on the computer today. Selecting one was not that difficult as I only have one decent shot of myself.-)
That's awesome! Love the decreasing "topography" of your face with each iteration!
That looks fabulous!!!!! I love it!
I LOVE it! I am amazed how your eyelashes and eyebrows came out so good!
I love it. I guess I better make up my mind on a photo and get moving.

Amazing! I played with some computer effects last night. Not sure if I have a picture I like yet, though.
You know how to just "go with it" and try stuff - I plan too much. Love what you are doing.
that is fabulous - I love how you can just jump right in and do! I tend to overthink things and am slow getting started. This technique you are using is the same way I'm thinking of proceeding. Now to find a picture to deviate from...
