I took some pics but as usual it's raining so the colours are a bit off. It seems that all we are getting lately is rain and more rain:(
Then I took the Green Man class with Colleen Babcock. It was so much fun. Colleen provided the pre-made head and all the supplies. She then showed us how to draw the face, colour it and then do soft sculpture to bring out the features. She is a wonderful teacher and I learned quite a lot in the three hour class.
This is a picture of what the finished face should look like....
Here is my effort.....
I gave my guy green eyes instead of blue:)
Take care:)
What a great face. I stayed away from the festival this year since I knew I didn't need anything. Perhaps I'll go next year.
ReplyDeleteThose Robert Kaufman fabrics look such stunning colours, even if you think the rain light has taken some of their zing away! And your Green Man is incredible. Colleen Babcock may be a wonderful teacher, but you have lots of talent too, to reproduce it so well!

ReplyDeleteOoooh, those fabrics!! I love the purples and plums! I used to quilt and have loads of fabrics here. It's so addicting!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Green Man is very cool--you are very talented in making faces.
I haven't been by here in ages! Can't imagine why not!
ReplyDeleteAnd your fabric pics made me salivate!
Lovely Green Man--I could se him nestled among the branches of a potted plant or Christmas tree. Utterly charming.

That soft sculpted head is really lovely. It must have been fun to make those features emerge.
ReplyDeleteThat is one excellent green man, wow, you are very talented.
