This is a continuation of a previous post about the making of Garden Lady #4.
I felt like I needed a little more definition on the face, so I took a picture of my friend and sketched it up. I also felt like I needed to define the pants a little more, so I downloaded a few pictures from the internet, and sketched the pants onto the pattern and used it for the pattern. Here are the pictures and the results:
It seemed like it was about time to pick the background and start working on getting that into place. In addition to the hand dyed material for the pants, I had a hand dyed green fabric that seemed like it would work for this art piece. I didn't have quite enough of the green, so I pieced in another green and plan to use the remnants of both to scatter the greens throughout the flowers to come.
Next was the hose and water. I used another of my hand dyed green fabrics for the hose. A gray and turquoise fabric was used for the nozzle.
The water spray was made with 3 shades of Angelina fibers (white, gray, and gold). I put the tracing of the pattern underneath the Teflon pressing sheet, laid the fibers on top, pressed them, and used the pattern to cut it out.
I hope you still like it!
