Jory Agate did a portrait of her daughter with an ice cream cone. The cone is beaded and three-dimensional. She inked the face, and then used distorted traditional blocks in the background, while using the paperless freeform curved machine piecing technique taught in "Traditionals Transformed" for the girl's hair and parts of the background.

Project by Jory Agate Asilomar 2003

Faces in Fabric: a workshop for those who are interested in a more specific look at rendering the human face convincingly in fabric, no matter what your drawing skills may be. Traditionals Transformed: Give an old favorite a new twist - take a traditional block and tweak it. Class time will be mostly spent on learning to distort blocks and learning the patternless freeform piecing technique.
