Five Faces in Five Days- Day 1

Here's my first face of the week, and it's a familiar one!

I used as my inspiration a picture of my five year old self, with bangs cut short in the 50's style.

 I was the shyest little thing, but I gave myself a bit more assertive look

in this interpretation. I can tell it was my kindergarten school picture because I'm not wearing the plaid  Catholic school uniform I wore in every other school picture for the next twelve years!

This is a fabric applique with both machine and hand stitching, with some touches of acrylic paint.
Oh, and I gave it a prettier background than in the photo!

Hopefully tomorrow's face will be posted earlier in the day!
