Stick challenge: Our Great American Quilt Factory embellishment group has a current challenge of “sticks”. Originally I began painting canvases for a book format, then the Big Art Adventure had the matchbook challenge, which sent me in a match-stick direction. Voila, my art quilt with matchsticks.

Terry’s finished sticks are cleverly displayed on a store bought lampshade. First she spray painted the shade which gave it more texture and interest, then she applied painted dowels sewn up in graphic fabrics.
An update: for those kind people that expressed a desire to see the Moon Mosaic Shrine lighted I have finally taken a picture. Thank you for your interest. michele
