Pearl FeatherConnie Matheu
Hand beaded and painted with fabric paint. Machine quilted. This was my first attempt at beading on my quilts and painting the figure. I learned a lot from the experience.
There’s a Bug on the WallConnie Matheu
Fused, fabric, machine quilted, embellished with beads sewn on by hand. This evolved based on the background fabric which reminded me of wallpaper and the bug just evolved, a metamorphosis.
Ascending into LightCathy Mendola

Earth AngelCathy Mendola
Hand painted cotton; hand dyed silks; hand dyed cheesecloth; machine embroidered. This piece began with a sketch of a face I did on paper then scanned & printed on cotton. Then I hand painted the cotton fabric with acrylic paint & pastels.
