Metamorphosis of a Mosaic

First, the photo: taken by Bob Brandt (festival photographer and president of the Yancey County Literarcy Council) of the view from his back porch on Moonshine Mountain in Burnsville.

Then, Britt Kaufmann (who does all the graphic art for the festival) applied the stained-glass-window filter to it in Photoshop to create the bookmarks you can pick up at libraries and bookstores.
It was used in advertising posters too...



But lo and behold, quilter Corinne Shilling saw the image and though it looked like a quilt...

Corinne has given this wall hanging to the planning committee to help raise funds for the 2010 festival. There will be a silent auction during this year's events with the winner being announced at the end of the festival.


And here's a peek at next year's bookmark and image to go with the theme "Coming Home." I understand there's already a fiber artist drawing up sketches...
