I worked on my St. Francis face tonight.
He looks pretty ghastly.
The cheeks are too bright pink. The lips and beard look pretty good. The skin color is too brown and not fleshy colored enough.
I think it’s back to the drawing board.
Trying to think what I learned by this experience? I try to identify the things I did right, so maybe I’ll learn something even though the experiment didn’t work out as I’d hoped.
I did the beard by doing basketweave and then doing up and down straight stitches over the basketweave. That looks really good.
I think that may be all I can take away from this experience.
I may have my daughter pick the colors next time. It comes natural to her and it simply doesn’t to me.
