FACE NO 17 FOR 29 FACES FEBRUARY

MONDAY 17 FEBRUARY - FACE 17

'Flourishes in Shades of Red'
Mixed Media - by Jez
Today I combined two challenges, creating a face that matched the So Artful challenge of 'Flourishes in Shades of Red', as well as the 29 Faces theme.

When I had drawn the girl's head, I intended to add quite a bit of collage, but as soon as I had stuck down those two red grid pieces I knew that was my starting point for the flourishes.  I'm quite pleased with this.

    This is terrific, a really unusual arty face, I like her hair and green lips. You've combined the face so well with the flourishes, so that the flourishes are an integral part, and that's a lovely swirly frame. Thaks for coming along to Soartful and sharing it with us.

    Your faces are so wonderful! There are too many to comment on individually, but you work with so many different styles and elements. You are a very talented lady! :-)

    This turned out beautifully. I love swirls of any color, but it's extra good when you can combine challenges.
