Wondered why I have been so quiet some days. I have been at a workshop with Solvejg Refslund as teacher. She is a wonderful person and it was so fun to work on something totally new for me. Want to see.......??
We started with a black and white portrait of ourself......just the head. And that was what we should work with. Our workspace................on the table............on the floor...........out in the hall......everywhere....................I guess you all recognize this
and this way to work on LOL
My face is now taking shape.
And what a mess we made. Fabric all over the floor and on the tables.
Marit is asking if I think it looks like her.
And at the end of our two days workshop all portraits where hung up on the wall and all the ladies was eagerly taking photos.
And this is how we look like in fabric.
And this is our teacher Solvejg Refslund. 
And this is how I look like . It is not finished. Have to add some more details. But I am very happy with the result. It looks like I am thinking of something.
Saying for today:
If you have joy in your heart,
it will be known by the look on your face

Very cool May Brit -- and I think it looks like you!!!
How wonderful! All the portraits are fabulous. I'd love to learn how to do that. Does she publish a book or directions?
Love the portraits! Yours is very realistic. Perhaps you are thinking of your next design?

You have done a really great job - it looks like you :-)
Looks like you guys had a great time !
Is there anything you can't do? You certainly have a talent when it comes to fabric. Well done.. what a fantastic potrait to have on your wall.
Well done May Britt was'nt she a great teacher! Love your work and hope to see it framed on the wall soon !
Wow! That is amazing!! You did a wonderful job!
Very, very neat - you did a great job on your self portrait.
These look fantastic. Certainly looks like you!!!
WOW...how did you DO that? Do you mean you had a black and white picture taken with a camera and worked from THAT using tiny bits and pieces of fabric? And then....did you sew the bits and pieces on or did you use fusible to iron them on?? I cannot believe the quality of the finished portraits! WONDERFUL work by ALL of you and she must be some EXCELLENT teacher!
