<\/a> Version 2 got unwoven immediately. I felt the lips were too pale and did not show up from a distance. This is version 3 where I continued with the pale lip color and used a grey outline. I think it\u2019s only getting worse! The outline is too \u2018cartoony\u2019 for me. However, one thing I did learn is that the upper lip point that is closer to the viewer (the right side as we face her) is slighter higher than the lip point that is away from the viewer. This involves putting both upper lip points on a high warp with one low warp in between, but also doing an extra wrap on the closer lip point to raise it slightly.<\/p>\nI feel strongly that her mouth is too low and too far away from the end of her nose, but it does match the original painting so I hesitate to change that.<\/p>\n
Today I will unweave again and do something closer to version 1. At least I\u2019ve given her a much better skin tone now! The face from the Tarim Basin tapestry has a wonderful highlight on the upper lip. Also the break between his lower and upper lip is the darkest color, and that is true of my spinner\u2019s lips so I need to go darker! \u2026and make her upper lip redder! I hope I get closer today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
