Hi, I decided a few weeks ago to spend less time online and more time stitiching as I was hardly getting anything done :D
In that time I've almost finished my second applique block 'The Pyramids' and will soon be needing to decide about whether to print on cotton (inkjet) or paint several items to be stitched on. I'm going to be trying both methods to see which one I prefer before commiting it to my quilt. But I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to fabric paint a man's face and hair... so that he actually looks like a man and not a manga comic strip.
I have some basic drawing skills, but would be so greatful for some good instructions on the fabric painting or a book recommendation.
It really does make a lovely change actually sitting and chatting with the family in the living room doing applique, rather than being shut in another room with the sewing machine whiring away.
thanks so much
Joanne
