Celebrating Nancy collage art quilt.

This beautiful lady is my aunt Nancy. We celebrated her 92nd birthday at Disneyland. The 33 on the ears is for Walt Disney's club where we had our dinner. We have a friend that got us into this club.
Starting with the photo I took on that night. You transfer the picture into lines with many steps that are not in this post. I will put it this out at another time. Then you transfer the picture the size you want it onto fabric.

I started putting the fabric on the ears and hair. The ears are not the same as the pair that she has but the fabric gives you the fun and beauty her ears.

I found myself skipping the eyes, trying to figure out what I would do to make them. Doing my best to have the shadow on her be present in my fabric of her.

Her face is progressing and coming out of the white foundation fabric.

When she has her eyes she became more real and like she really is.

Here you can see her eyes up close now. There are a lot of little pieces of fabric to make her eyes look like eyes. I used three different lame' fabrics to make the bow and numbers. Taking a fabric pen to show off the 33 help the over all presentation.

I had a great time making her jacket that she wore into this piece. Putting in the 3D elements like the knots that are in her jacket, of which she made herself. I made them by making a tube of fabric and gluing them down at the ends so they would be just like the original one.

A close up of her eyes, nose and mouth.

Here is the finished piece ready to hang up!
