Cher-ing and Scheepjes yarn

Hello!

I am just about done with my Cher portrait. I have been unconsciously drawing Cher’s features forever but just realized it while I was sketching her out. The large eyes and eye sockets, the long nose, curved lips, the oval face and of course, those cheekbones.

I am going to add something more, not sure what? Maybe some cool ribbon over the pink yarn?

I haven’t chosen my next diva but there’s many left to choose from. I will do some research on my favorites (YouTube listening has been very fun!).

Some yarn came in the mail, here goes

I had to get it! It will be interesting to use for my skulls.
In complete darkness and after only “charging “ for a few minutes. It does indeed glow in the dark🤩
I ordered too hastily and my neutral colors are not solid but have the stonewashed look. How will they feel???
The feel is very soft and the photo doesn’t justify the brighter color of the stone washed.

Thanks for reading! I am going to be listening all day to my YouTube for inspiration for deciding which will be the next diva Portraits. I’m waiting on canvas too!

Hey There! My book "Artful Embroidery On Canvas!", was published in 2020. Thanks for checking out my blog! It's a mix of projects, reports on creativity and whatever else I may have to say. I'm a San Francisco Bay Area-based mixed medium artist who is especially interested in embroidery, installations and all that’ll art for art’s sake! UPDATE: My embroidery has been on hiatus since February 2023 which was when my husband started to feel ill. Sadly, he passed in March 2023 and so, the blog veered into a more personal direction. I'm ending my art hiatus later this September. Life has become a bit complicated but I will be back to blogging more on art and still describing my daily life as an artist, a woman, a mother, a daughter and struggling widow. Thanks for reading along.
