Piece in Progress - Now Complete!


It has been some time since I've produced fabric art, and I think I got a bit intimated about doing the work and that's why I procrastinated in finishing it.

This is my response to Challenge #82 from my Fast Friday group.  It was to choose an 'Old West' painter and create a piece based on abstracting the inspiration image.  My inspiration image is 'Indian Maiden at Stockade' by Charles Marion Russell done in 1892 (see first image below).

I took a more simplistic cubist approach to abstract the elements of the maiden.  A photo of the abstraction and template cut-outs is also shown below.  I like how the piece came out even though it is more minimal than I thought it would be.  All comments are welcome!

These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. 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'...
