I actually found the background fabric first in my stash. Next I used some face stencils from Mary Shaw's site and stenciled with blue acrylic paint. A buddy in Florida, Beth, had used similar stencil(s) on some of her pieces and I just loved the faces she ended up with.
After I did some free motion quilting, I started beading!
Fun piece to work on!
And now to prepare for Christmas and our trip south!!! Next challenge from the Art Quilts Around the World due January 31, 2018. Check out the other art works for Pop Art from our members!
