Mirror, Mirror

Picture
This self-portrait was originally created as an entry for the Quilt Visions competition in 2008. Unfortunately, my piece did not make the cut. And, for this piece, I was more happy about just creating it. 

I found this photograph that was taken of me when I was 7 years old. It was the day that my hair was cut. This photo was taken as a memorial of my hair. Some years ago, an artist friend saw the photo and suggested that I make it into a quilt and add my current face looking out the window. When I rediscovered the photo, I decided it was time to make this quilt.

View the slide show to see what went into making this quilt.

I'll send you information about what I am working on and where you can view and purchase my latest creations. I promise I won't send you too many emails and I won't use your information for any other purpose.
