I began with Anu, however she didn’t just like the picture I used to be going to initially work with, and she or he requested for a quilt based mostly on a photograph of her and her mother (my daughter Devon). They’re an especially shut pair and like to tease one another, so I believed this picture captured their personalities a bit. I had not carried out a portrait of an individual in Susan’s approach but, so needed to make use of this chance to discover ways to collage facial options based mostly on a photograph. Devon’s massive smile was a problem — 21 particular person enamel!! My daughter Devon on the left and granddaughter Anu on proper.
