My ultimate passion is transforming photographs into Fabric Mosaic ArtQuilts. This is my 5th year of working with fused batiks and hand dyed fabrics. This process started more than 10 years ago with making Watercolor or Colorwash floral quilts and wallhangings. A few years later, I began making Mosaic Photo Quilts from photographs for family members as gifts. Now the Art that I am creating is actually smoothing out the edges of the mosaic tiled pieces and making gently curved shapes for a more realistic image.

Blue Ridge Mountains Waterfall Fabric Mosaic Art
From: Diana
I selected blues, greens, silver, white and black as the main colors to try to recreate a waterfall and rocks with fabric. I was unsure if I could capture a realistic water scene. The piece is made from small strips, rectangles and squares of fabric. It took about 400 hours to complete.The water seemed to flow and I imagined listening to the sounds as it passed over the rocks.

Mick Jagger Fabric Mosaic Wall Art
From: Diana
Mick Jagger's image that are looking at is made from cotton fabric! No paint was used even though it looks just like a painting. There were thousands of cotton batik fabric used to create this image. This fabric selection really looks like clay was used to sculpt Mick. The process took 100 hours too complete.Sometimes the pieces are so little it can fit on you fingernail with plenty of room to see your nail! Stand away from computer for full effect.

Kennedy Brothers Whispering Fabric Mosaic
From: Diana
This Mosaic won a Honorable Mention Award in Boulder City's annual Fine Arts Festival 5/2008! This piece shows the Kennedy brothers whispering measures 21 x 17 1/4. What do you think they are discussing? This picture is so endearing. Again, I have used my usual batik, hand dyed and commercial cotton fabrics to complete this image. You can actually see their neck ties in the photo. You may need to sit back away from your computer to see it better. It reminds me a little of abstract art. I used t...

Duke Ellington 15" x 22"
From: Diana
This piece was made using thousands of cotton fabric pieces and took about 500 hours to complete. The fabric is fused onto a lightweight backing and is ready to frame. The top was sprayed with U/V matte acrylic that helps to protect against fading. This is a one of a kind Diana original. The batik and hand-dyed fabric variations would be different, even if I used the same image. Optional: Per request, I will bind the edges with a narrow cotton binding tape and add a sleeve for hanging on a...

Marilyn Monroe 18" x 20"
From: Diana
This piece was made using hundreds of fabric pieces, some as little as 1/4 inch! The palette was made using 9 batik and handdyed fabrics. It appears like many more colors were used because the selected fabrics have several colors within one piece. The focus was to make her lips red and the palette called for the same color red in nose, eyes and eyebrows. I was a little hesitant because this was a little out of my comfort zone. When it startind coming together, it was really extraordinary! I love...
