Lesson 6: Mixed Media Altar Piece, Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the final project in the Iconic class, I wanted us to create an altar piece. Traditionally, icons came in different sizes and were displayed in places of worship and in homes. Some icons were painted in small, portable frames attached together with a hinge. You could open them up to display them on a shelf. I have such an icon, placed on small wooden pieces.

Lesson 5: Fabric Icons Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This next block of lessons in the Iconic class is all about using fabric. I have a nice big stash of fabric - I used to make handstitched plushes and still have a lot of the stash I used at the time. I also brought back a lot of remnants from Mexico when I went in 2015. And Beijing had a great fabric market although it closed in 2018. I really don’t like letting all that great material just sit there. So, I thought we could have fun and use fabric to make some collage. If you don’t have fabric,
