quite fun. hehe. I think sometimes I take on a bit too much at once, and I expect it to be PERFECT the first time...and

"Does anyone here use collage techniques to make beads/jewelry?" I do too, in the 80s I did a polymer clay
pendant design where I made a clay frame over a piece of sheet metal then added the images and epoxy over. Made wall
hangings that way too. I have collaged wood beads using gel medium and varnishing, lately I have got ahold of some 30x40
glass cabs and am adding a picture beneath them for seed beading. Since I'm not using multiple images there it's more
decoupage than collage but it does use a picture in jewelry. I made a huge wall collage with a mermaid theme, it's
under glass and has a rainbow patina copper sheet metal border, that's up in my hall (made in the 80s also). My mom
collaged our whole bathroom in the 70s when I was a kid, I wish I had pictures of that, it was great! Ingrid

it is definitely one of the many different processes you can use to make a quilt. to be technical, the quilting is the
quilting. to make a quilt there are so many different techniques and methods used now days its nearly impossible to
name all of them. there are new techniques being discovered and developed everyday as well. we have piecing aka
patchwork. paper piecing, english paper piecing, embroidery, beading, trapunto, cording used for both internal
dimension and outside as embellishment. its not such a single form of art any longer. it incorporates so many different
techniques and yes applique is one of those techniques. just my opinion of course. cheers, jeanne -- nzlstar at yahoo
