Resting Bitch Face

Bet you are a little surprised to see that title in your feed today, eh? ;) This is the story about one of my QuiltCon workshops. Not long before leaving for QuiltCon, I read a news item that researchers had found that resting bitch face was real.  I found the concept interesting and it really just raised more questions for me. Is there a resting asshole face? What does it mean if you have a resting bitch face? Do I have a resting bitch face? These disturbing questions kept me up at night.

Anyway, my first workshop of QuiltCon was Making Faces with Melissa Averinos. I adore her work and wanted to learn more about her techniques. We were thrilled to be interrupted shortly into the start of the class to be told that Melissa's My Brother's Jeans won Best of Show! She was ecstatic, we were ecstatic for her. What an amazing moment!

The class was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about facial proportions and fabric combinations. Here are some photos of my project taking shape.

Here is where I finished for the day. See, resting bitch face, eh? Is it the pouty lips? The eyes?

Here are some of the faces from other members of the class. Love the variety!

I did remember to ask for a photo with Melissa and she was super gracious about it. Only one resting bitch face in this photo! :D

Thank you Melissa for a fabulous class!

Hope you all are having a great weekend!
