Ever look at a beautiful old-world tapestry-portrait and marvel at the story it told?   Have you noticed the craftmanship, colors, and the hidden or obvious life-clues of the subject - in the background?

What a family heirloom!

I create modern heirloom:

• featuring your life,
• passions or loved one,
• preserving memories in unique fabric mosaic,
• with the same depth as the old-world tapestry.

How?

Utilizing your photo, 1/4-inch pieces of fabric (vintage and new), applying a mosaic technique, we can produce and heirloom together.

Fabric Mosaic Life-Pictures

Affectionally, I call my work "life pictures".  Because, as in life, stand too close; you only focus on the details. Take a few steps back, and you can see the big picture. 

My pieces are made of tiny square of fabric, three layers (top: interpretation of your photo, batting, and backing) quilted together with a ton of invisible stitching.  Standing close, you see the tiny squares and tons of stitching. The squares are a form of art in their own right! 

But like life, it is beneficial to take few steps back to see the "big picture."  The image becomes clearer a few steps away.  Best if viewed from a distance.
