Stitched Faces

It's a rainy day, so I pulled out some face cards to stitch on. These are views of the backs. The stitching is done from the other side. These are done on my old sewing machine without a drop feed, so it is a slow procedure to stitch them, with lots of starts and stops. At least these I did not do with one continuous row of stitches. It makes them a bit cleaner looking, but in a way maybe not quite as interesting...??? I'm not sure yet. The dyes on the paper were done previously with distress inks.
