Fabric Portrait Mirror
I’m working on a bunch of fabric portraits with mirrors for faces. I’m attaching the mirror to an old LP, then sewing on the portrait surroundings on two layers of fabric — one old blanket from God’s Helping Hand and a dead dark gray dress. This is my first one completed — long neck, big hair, wild flower, in a big red and white chair.
And before I attached the portrait to the mirror, I tried it on myself — some inspiration for a monster with hole for its head, that I can take pictures with at this Saturday’s I Made It Market! Also coming up — a woman with a large mess of hair, a circle of multicolored elephants, and a white furry monster with purple paws, all in fabric portrait mirror form…
