"Giovanna"
This picture was inspired by my recent trip to Italy.
It's not any particular person I met, but I kept hearing of and meeting women
named Giovanna, and one day I scribbled this sketch in my notebook:
Today I modified the sketch and traced it onto white cotton fabric, machine stitched the lines
with dark brown thread, and colored it with pastel chalks.
The funny thing is that, as I was stitching this piece, I realized that
it resembled another picture I had done a while back, in cut paper:
This image must be stuck somewhere in my subconscious!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!!

a nice gentle face. now that you have it on fabric what are you going to do with it?
i love the similarities here!
Your notebook has grids? That is a very clever tool for getting the proportions of things correct.
Giovanna is lovely-very delicate looking:)
What a sweet face. Beautiful work Judy! I also love the sweet little face in your previous post, and it is you! A lovely one for sure.
Happy week to you!
Smiles...
