I am not joining in. My avatar is one such. I began with a photo of an eagle which I blew up to 4' by 3' (very fuzzy at that point), cut it up and hand appliqued it. I have also done 2 dogs, teddy bears, a skinny 3' tall Sunbonnet Sue, and commissioned Virgin Mary, rock stars, etc. The picture is a hurried Library Sue as a library fundraiser.
