The sewing was a great touch. It gives a great contrast to all of the pattern and excellent use of color! It was so carefully done and used very sparingly that it's perfectly integrated! Nice use of line and content too! The music, when played, is a very nice contrast as well!
I am kind of sorry I didn't knock I considered it but nerves got the better of me, originally you'll notice the thing sown into the mouth of the larger face (being the whole of the piece) is part of a coffee filter, which originally was cut into the shape of a snowflake that had been adhered with water to the paper, unfortunately as the snowflake dried it lost transparency and began to remove itself from the painting so I ripped it off, I kind of liked what was left so I decided not to pry it out.

DeleteI can be shy too, so I get it! :.)
In the process, corrections & "risks" are usuarlly needed. The coffee filter definitely gives it a delicate line/ edge, the thread you used because it's Red (a hot color) gives a good contrast to the cooler colors you used. It's few minor "hot points" bounce the space and adding the coffee filter the way you did gives it a bit of object'ness. It's really an intresting work!
You are intutively doing what most
Color & Design students spend a great deal of time learning. You have a great sense of space.
Have you delved into pastels or charcol yet? Even cheap watercolors used for drawing you could have a great deal of fun with- especially playing with hot & cool colors where you place the cool colors on top of
the hot colors. It will "bounce" the space. I'll post one of my paintings for you when Im uploading today and show you what I mean. :.) It really is a fantastic drawing you did!
