Students created a more expressive face or character by needle sculpting to the extreme! Starting with 2 (or 3) different head patterns and utilizing a few well placed stitches and stuffing, they brought a two-dimensional cloth head pattern to life by creating nose, lips, cheeks, jowls, eye sockets and even double chins. Further character may be added via face painting techniques.
