I still have a lot of work to do on her shawl, but most of the fabric
is down now. As you can see, there is very little of the original
fabric showing through the other pieces, but is served as a wonderful
background.
A necklace will dived the neck and the shawl and once illustrated with pen and thread I think it will come up quite well.
I
really love the color of the shawl on the turquoise and the strong
vertical lines in the background complement the softness of her face
and garments.
The border lillies will come into the background of the portrait I think....!
