I loooved the process of creating this face.  I think it might be the beginning of a series.  I might never make anything else.

It's simple and yet graphic.  It has movement and interest.  It's colorful but not crazy.  Best of all, you can hang it on your wall with two pushpins.  I'm excited to explore some variations!  It feels like what all the faces in my art journal have been leading towards.
