I was seeing an animal head in the other part, but after I looked at it that way, I could see the face you did very easily. I'm always 'seeing things.' There was part of a dead tree DH & I used to pass on our way to work that always made me laugh, because to me it looked like the tree was giving the world 'the finger.' :lol:

I saw all the face right away also. But then I see faces in wall paper, floor tiles, trees, and a lot of other unlikely places.

Try studying wood doors. It's amazing the things you see. Some of the doors at our elementary school should be taken down for the things you can see in the wood grain. I used to work in our Superintendent's office and he thought I was crazy until I pointed out what I was seeing. It's just the artist in all of us coming through.

It might be the fact that I am a retired RN.....BUT when I first glanced at the subject.."Do you see faces in your fabric" I read it as "do you see FECES in your fabric" lol I don't drink!!

hmmm! I have never seen faces in fabric but see them in other things. It is kind of fun when you do see things like that. Most of the time I think it is because I am sleep deprived. Love the funny responses.

The faces in the fabric kinda remind me Hall and Oats, you know, "Sara Smile"?

It it a gift that some people have and it really helps in the business world because you are able to see between the lines.

When I have a quilt pattern I want to use I always use my own colors and I can arrange everything in my head and automatically know what the finished product looks like. This also comes in handy when painting and building cars. I can not tell you how many times I have laid a set of flames out in my head until I figure out the best way and type to go with.

A few examples............

The pattern was in Quilters World magazine but I changed the size a bit and of course the fabrics. But it wasn't like a paper pieced quilt.

All you do is cut a bunch of 8" blocks of the different fabrics you want to use and guess where 2"or so is to make the random cuts to make it wonky. Then you squared the blocks to 6" blocks after sewing all of the different pieces together. That was the second quilt I had ever made.

I like the face better without accents. I saw it immediately.
Creative minds can see images of faces, animals or many other things. Get out of the box and look for images. Enjoy life.

I see faces and object in everything not just fabric. The ceiling in my bedroom has a swirl effect and there is a face in that that scares the crap out of me. I forgot all about it until now, I think I will sleep in a different room tonight.

I have a column at work that I can a chimpanzee's face in. I will see about taking a picture & posting it so you can see it also.

Just glad to see that I'm not the only one who can do this.

Just look at all the people who see things (faces etc) in other things. You aren't strange at all. A friend of mine told me once that when that happens, you are thinking with your creative side. :)

Mousie: remember taotaomano's...who could forget?:lol:
one of the best chapters on this board, oh, 'Terri of the Jungle!' :wink:
you mentioned your friend saying that when you hear and see things, in other things, you are thinking with your creative side...I thoroughly agree, but my imagination is so good...I want to run...how do I get away from this head???? :shock: :lol:

I don't see faces in fabric, but it could be only a matter of time before I succumb to the illness as well!

Mousie: now anybody that can't see that monkey, is bananas!:lol:

Mousie: Well, Madquilter has a co-worker named Bronda, and she see's a face in....um, maybe you should ask her.
If she says she doesn't know what your talking about:
the code words are: Bronda and trousers:wink:

Mousie: my DD told me that one of the artists that helped make "The Littlest Mermaid" cartoon, with Ariel...(Disney movie for kids),...
this artist got mad about something and clearly...and i do mean, CLEARLY...put an obscene drawing right in the middle of other things, to get revenge.
I have seen it!

Mousie: oh Margie, I used to be a cna, and i don't drink either. I often read sentences so fast that my mind gives me different wording/verbiage like that and i bust out laughing at the most innocuous things :lol:
Some days, life is such a hoot!
