Start of a Family Portrait

We started a family project this week. It is a family portrait. The girls drew pictures of everyone on paper and then I drew them onto a piece of black fabric with soap. Then we all painted it with metallic paint. I am in the process of doing machine stitching everywhere to add definition. I obviously am not very far along. Just so you know--this is large for me--about four by three feet. My plan is to hang this in the library where I needed something funky. I may end up only hanging it for Halloween, but maybe we'll like it a lot after its done. We shall see.
