As we're doing two longer poses - and a "personal project" in the portraiture class, it might be possible to bring in a bit of stitching. How to approach it, though - where to start with the stitching, if you don't draw first? It's a very different way of working.

Also have a look at how Annabel Rainbow does the faces on her quilts, eg
here.
Shizuko Kimura's large, hand-stitched drawings are usually full-figure, or groups -
here's a closeup of a face -

Margaret thank you so much for this look at the "community" of artists creating wonderful portraits. Doing a bit of searching I have enjoyed reading about this great collection of folks who were unknown to me prior to reading your post. A great Sunday morning exploration for me.
That "priest" portrait looks just like William Morris - I thought it was WM when I saw the thumbnail pop up on my blog list!
