Part 2 - Nose

Here is the second part of a tutorial for stumpwork portraits, inspired by Fay Maxwell, whose excellent book Ladies with Hatitude I warmly recommend.



NOSE

Place two pins where you want the nose and eyes.

Stitch the nose like this:

Continue down the nose.

Pull the thread until you have a nice ridge for the nose.

Make two stitches to shape the end (tip) of the nose.

Next up, Part 3 - Eyes, which will be a longer session.
