Like very accurate portraits.
March Journal: Ellen, by Ellen Lindner
The portrait above was the FIRST thing I ever did with this technique! That’s how easy it is.
Now, I have an eBook about this technique, which uses this awesome apple to teach you the concepts.
My students and readers have had really good results with this technique. See what I mean:
The download is only $9.95. Find full details here.

This year I’ve been making some fabric wrapped balls as Christmas ornaments. My hand dyed scraps have been perfect for this. I made one for my sister, to go in her home of soft blues, greens, and greys. Her home is beautifully decorated for the holiday. Here’s just a sampling. She and I both have…

We used a book called “Paint Mojo” for prompts about making an UGLY painting. The prompts included things like using a dark neutral in certain ways, painting words, using crayons as a resist, dripping…
Although I’ve never been to the Asheville Quilt Show, my quilts have. And this year I get to go too! I’m really looking forward to stopping in on Sunday to see my two quilts on display. (And maybe I’ll do some shopping at the vendors too! Hah, “maybe.” I crack myself up!) Maybe I’ll…
