Help -- I lost my head!

Just kidding! It's really a work in progress.

Here's the pattern being taped together after tile printing.


Next I cut out the objects and and fuse them to black fabric. Then cut around the shapes again to leave a black border. I learned this trick in a class with Laura Wasilowski.
I usually break the figure up into smaller sections, and in retrospect I should have done that here because it was difficult to cut out such a large floppy thing, especially that rubber band arm.

Now there's a real block head. To be continued...

Oh I love this black border trick. Brilliant. It's looking fantastic.
WoW! I love the way the black makes things pop. Thanks so much for sharing your work in progress!

Thanks for this. I was wondering how you did your work. Do you prewash the commercial fabrics that you fuse?
Thanks so much for showing step by step on a project...I love seeing how people do their pieces, and it's inspired me to start taking step-by-step pictures of my current project!
Thanks for the step-by-step! It's looking really cool!
