In July, CQMag will feature an article about my studio, one of my curved piecing methods and a finished three-block wall-hanging. The following collage pics are some of the mini-collages within the wall-hanging. When the article comes out, will post the links! This collage features special mother of pearl "bits" given to me by Barbara Blankenship and they offer great memories of our shopping venture in New York. I've twisted assorted colors of rayon cord with loops and knots to allow for small vignettes for beads and seed beads and RibbonSmyth's mop Japanese discs. Too much fun!

Vicki, these are lovely collages. Can you (will you) tell me what you have used for the twists on the left side (green and mauve) which you have also used on the collage below this one. It looks like you have used an entire skein of rayon floss ....

Thanks Chris,
The twisted fibers are known as rat tail or rayon cord. Rat tail can be purchased at any craft store and probably Joann's. The cords are placed together and then tied in several loose knots. The knots are then pulled apart a bit and couched to the fabric ground.
