I almost named my post The Fat Lady Sings but since it isn't bound yet couldn't honestly say it was completely done. This is what my Mache' Jack-O-Lanterns look like now and am happier with it than the before.
Now.
Here's the before.
Some of the changes I made may be obvious to the viewer but just in case here they are:
~ used different orange wool on right Jack in various places
~ changed right eye on the right Jack
~ changed mouth on the right Jack
~ put a thin line above teeth on left Jack
I'm happier now and can concentrate better on my commission rug from which I took a mini-break. Now I have two pieces which need binding and I'll take one with me to the doctor's office tomorrow to keep me occupied while sitting in the waiting room. Since neither is a huge rug either would be convenient to carry in my basket. If you are interested in purchasing the Mache' Jack-O-Lanterns pattern on linen (measures 14 1/2" x 25 1/2") write me HERE.
Have a great Monday and hope your whole week is magnifico!

The changes made a big difference, the lighter shades separate him and nice highlight and I do like this mouth better.

WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteNow get busy on your commission piece and if you need another rug or two to bind, I would be more than happy to accommodate.
Hugs :)

Little changes, big results. Very authentic looking.
ReplyDeleteHappy Jacks!!! Nicely done. The contrast edge on Jack on the right is just what it needed. What a lovely Halloween piece.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hooking machine. Hugs, Kat
ReplyDeleteGreat job. The changes do make a difference even though they are quite subtle. Good eye!
