Reverse Applique Portrait

hand dyed fabrics (various)
9 x 12"
This process is a little like the childhood trick of colouring on a page with different colours and then colouring over the whole thing with black crayon. When the black is scraped (or in this case carefully cut) it reveals an image based on your cutting. This was an "okay" result. This project was during the rib fiasco. So I just felt pleased that there was a resemblance.
