As you can see there is still a lot of work to go (and only 2 days of June left!), but I’m quite pleased so far.  The ceramic face I was going to use was a pale blue, very serene, moon-like face, decorated with spirals.  It’s very lovely, but it was totally wrong for this page, and I’m much happier with the beaded face.  I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to do her hair yet.  It was going to be fringing coming out of the piece – especially as the ceramic face would also have been raised so it would have looked odd to have everything else flat – but now I’m wondering.  I might go for a half and half type approach, with some strands embroidered flat on the fabric, but a few coming out of the page.
