Viewing Art Quilts: Playing with a Full Deck

Over the holidays, I viewed this show at San Diego's Visions Gallery. What a great exhibition theme! All quilts were a unified size, and all unique.

The project involved an artist being paired with a specific card from a deck of cards, and then interpreting that card in her/his own way in fabric. All 52 cards were represented! The neat thing is that the exhibit is owned by a couple who purchased it to ensure the pieces would remain together...just like a deck of cards! The 'King of Hearts' on the cover of the book about the exhibit (above) is one of my favorites in addition to the 4, 8 and 10 of Clubs and the 8 of Hearts! After San Diego, I don't know where the exhibit has gone, but it is worth seeing if you get the chance. Its just fun!

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...

What about the Hundertwasser look?

The Hundertwasser look is more recent. Do you like the direction this piece is headed?
