The portrait quilt is progressing well.\u00a0\u00a0 Last week<\/a>, I finalized the face fabrics, and constructed one eye. I wasn’t entirely happy with the fabric I used for the shadow around the eye – it seemed a little too light when I viewed it from a distance.<\/p>\n

\"TerryAske-portrait<\/a>So for the right eye, I used a darker fabric for the eye area, and even darker for the eye lashes.\u00a0\u00a0 It looks much better – when you look at the thumbnail photo, the right eye appears to be much more realistic than the left eye.\u00a0 The mouth fabrics are just pinned at this point, to see if the colors and values look right.\u00a0 After I finalize the mouth and hair, I’ll change the fabrics of the left eye to match the right eye.\u00a0 (The close up looks a little weird because I still haven’t fused the fabrics, so you can see shadows around each one).<\/p>\n
