Nirvana: Work-in-Process (part 6)

Fiber Collage: Work-in-Process

Beadwork on the background continues. Using polymer fabric paints, I painted in additional vines which I'm not sure I'm all that happy with.

Art Style Personality

You are Fantasy. You have an active and firey
imagination, & you love escaping into
strange, beautiful worlds. You're intensely
curious & dive into new experiences with
vigour. As a result, you may sometimes be
disconnected to reality, or at least bored by
it. People see you as a dreamer, & they're
probably right. You spend a lot of time inside
your head.

The Book Quiz

You're Siddhartha!

by Hermann Hesse

You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
fairies.

Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

Nirvana: Work-in-Process (part 2)

Fiber Collage: Work-in-Process

Decided that I didn't like the fabric that I had selected for her "hair" so I sponge-painted the area with a combination of gold foiling, fabric paints (magenta, purple, bronze) & then toned it down with a wash of black metallic acrylic paint. I've started defining her facial features & have also started beading the background.
