Yes, you are correct. It will be art that I don't intend to wash. I can wet it again and add more paper or paint to change the image a bit. I will leave it as is and maybe try to do more on my next project. Thanks for your interest. Smiles, Diana
I really like the style, the colors and of course, the bead pendant.
This is a new mini class that I just finished fron Free Lunch Cafe. It is called Fabric paper or Paper fabric. I used muslin, stamped it with faces images, glued tissue paper and painted it with a transparent paint. It has the feel of a lightweight…

Carol M. Burtz said… - Hi again Diana, I found your gallery and remember seeing these great pieces before. I really like your use of unusual colors as part of your value scale. That is the part of photomosaic that I find most visually exciting. I still have problems finding my way around this site, but thanks for asking to be my friend. Keep in touch. Carol

Rebecca said… - Hello Diana, I do quilt for others and have helped several quilt artists finish their pieces. You can see some of the pieces I have worked on in my gallery at www.rebeccasegura.com. I do not have all the works online, but I was able to get a good sampling up.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

- Hi Diana! Thank you for the so very nice comment on my quilting. I love to create texture with my quilting. Your mosaic quilts are just amazing to me! The colors and depth you achieve is fantastic! Congratulations on having your mosaic of Obama showcased in DC... it is a marvelous piece... it is easy to see that your heart and soul went into it.

Karen Davis said… - Your work is awesome! I was experiencing your quilts as very large in my imagination...like 6 feet, 8 feet expanses (something I do often with work that I love), so when I saw the photo of you standing with a collection of your pieces I was surprised to discover the size.

Rayela Art said… - Oh, Diana- you are giving me way too much credit for whatever growth you are experiencing. You have the drive and have knocked on the right doors, which then opened up to you. It's been fun to watch your progress. I can totally relate to being overwhelmed and chaotic- I'm behind on everything and tired all the time, but trying to stay healthy. I keep thinking if I break things down into manageable tasks, I'll see progress. But, there are still piles of things screaming for attention. Eeeek!
The RSS is correct, but I would pick the option to show a full article because then people would see the photos you are talking about, too. Keep it to a smaller page, though, 3 or 4 articles or your page will get really long.
You know that you can change your page template, don't you? At the top left corner, under your image, you will see several options. Click on the template one and you can pick whatever you want and even load a different background image.
Well, off to that pile of tasks!

American Folk Art Doll Pattern
This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply. Their description:
HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
