After watching the video on do a "free standing applique" technique doing a lion, I know I can do the portrait of grandson and his mother. Because so many said they wanted to see the progress and are interested in doing this.. I will show you the first steps I have taken. The line drawing I have made to work from and the photo I am working on.
