Intricate pieces like this need the time to be done well. I loved your title from husband's comment.

I found that the freezer paper didn't like to stick to fabric that had fusible on it, so your idea to put the paper on first would probably solve that problem. You did a really great job with this piece.

I am still curious about the images you subtly incorporated in your background, (as to more specifically the artwork that they are, and the process in more depth). This is a very striking portrait!
