Picasso










(Original)

I've been doing a series of workshops called "Studying the Masters" where I've taken small pieces of fabrics and poly-sheen threads and done tons of thread painting. I do this over top of a masters image printed onto stabilizer which I've printed out from my ink jet printer. These pieces are usually no bigger then 8"x10" and even though they do require time, they are different then working on a full size quilt.

This one is from Pablo Picasso. I just love this piece. There is just something so tranquil about her face. I think the thread painted one has a whole different "life" about it then the original.
