Fabric is a delightful way to represent the human face. My work is a bit abstract, but the images are (generally) recognizable.
Here is a version I have done of President-elect Obama. (I must remember that teeth are difficult to portray ...)

Wow, great prodject!!! And, thanks for stopping by my blog :-)
Great project!!!
Hello, great Blog..when I do teeth I generally use 2 strands of embroidery white thread and stitch them in a close satin stitch..one tooth at a time..then to shadow them I draw a fine line on the top of the row with charcoal and gently smudge it into the threads to show the shadow on the top edge of the teeth caused by the teeth..you will find that this makes them more real-looking.In Peace,Penny
Thank you for the suggestion! I need to watch you do this sometime.
