#29Faces - #24 of 29 Wearable Art Tote Bag

#29Faces, #24 of 29 in the 29Faces Art Challenge hosted by Ayala Art. As a wearable artist I'm always on the lookout for ideas for converting my art work into something wearable. I had this very inexpensive ($5) polyester felt bag from Target. It's a thick felt with vinyl handles. The heathered gray felt has a lot of texture and was a great neutral background. This bag was just waiting for some artistic treatment. I loved #23, the girl with flowers drawing which I had watercolored.  I had done the face first and then decided she needed some flowers in her hair so I drew a variety of flowers which I also watercolored and added to the face.  I did a simple image transfer on this bag and am thrilled with the results!!  I may not be finished yet, I think it may need some embellishment to highlight some of the details.

29Faces Challenge - #1

I'm excited to participate in the 29Faces Art Challenge hosted by Ayala Art.  We're to create 29 faces to improve our drawing, painting and art making using faces.  I've been wanting to draw more so this challenge is perfect!  I'll be trying out lots of styles and expressions as well as doing studies on how to draw noses, lips, eyes and other facial features.  It's also a good way to learn to paint faces.  Here's #1 of 29.
