Portrait of Ben-FMQ'd DONE!
7 Attachment(s)
I think I've got around 30 or 40 hours in this little 18" x 24" wall hanging..."Ben" is done totally in thread on a kind of mottled brown background using my DSM and both Isacord and Superior Magnifico poly threads.
Hope you like him! [ATTACH=CONFIG]399935[/ATTACH] And here are some closeups of the background motifs I used. (There is a quarter in each pic to show scale.) All of the background motifs are based on a diagonal ½" diagonal grid. Some are pretty standard designs, some are my own originals (although I may very well not be the only person who ever thought of them).

I love your work, it is totally awesome! If I might be so bold as to suggest an improvement, IMHO the only thing I can see it might need is to add a dot of white to the eyes.

Here's a zoomed-in pic of his eye from the picture I worked from for this piece. The eye appears very black and has the lash over it like I've done, but I feel like it needs just a little something. Just can't figure out exactly what or where... [ATTACH=CONFIG]400134[/ATTACH] |
Oh, my goodness! Beautiful!
|
Beautiful!!! Tinker
|
Someday maybe I will get half that good. Really a work of art.
|
this is amazing! You are very talented.
|
Fabulous. You are so talented. I could never do something like this! The mule has such lovely soft eyes.
|
I saw the back posting first and was amazed and then came to this post. Amazing is all I can say! Thanks for the inspiration!
|
Your work is outstanding. Loved the back too.
|
Your quilting is amazing.
|
I wish i could bookmark your posting. your quilting is wonderful!!
|
Really nice...
|
This is incredible. You have to figure out a way to showcase the back as well. Truly amazing work.
|
Oh, I finally saw the front. It would be outstanding except the back is a total mind blower! I do a lot of designs that come from my head and my feelings, but there is no way I could ever come up with anything as wonderful as the back of this quilt! I'm so proud that this has evolved through quilting! You did a fantastic piece of art (twice).
|
WOW! beautiful work! Both the front and the back.
Laurel |
wow, that is amazing. I am amazed it did not take you longer.
|
wow, that is marvellous, I would love to be able to try that!
