When I looked at it, the first thing that popped into my mind was a '60's style sleeveless dress and for some reason Jim Morrison. I like Ditter's idea too.I guess I'm with you onthis one.....I like it and if I had seen it,it would have come home with me too.

That is great Fabric for a large Tote Bag. Be sure and add some Red, lining maybe? Not sure if that is blue or purple shadings? on some of the faces? Might wanta pick that up too? Most of the best looking Totes ae really Bold. For prints that big, don't go for a small contrast print, the bolder and sharper the better. My bff is an Artist, and she makes incredable Tote Bags! These r her rules :)

For some reason, I see a lampshade! It looks like something I might buy, too!
Maybe you can just cover a small canvas and hang it in the bathroom or kitchen?
I think a home should represent everyone's style! (Yes, ours is very eclectic.)

I still think I like it, but I am at a loss as to what I can do with it.
Any suggestions? Do you like it? What would you do with it? (And no Halloween suggestions, please:-) - thanks.)

Some of the eyes are scary, some are kinda cool - I think if you could cut where you wanted, a tote bag would be a great way to use it. Otherwise, do a canvas, with a "good" face centered - and put it in your sewing room or laundry room - somewhere that's "your" space.
