    This is so amazing! I would just love to see your work “in person” someday… it looks so intricate, and the colors you use are so rich. I’m really intrigued by your use of paper and quilting. Gorgeous work, Lisa!

    Colors, colors everywhere! I’m trying not to figure out the separate images, but absorb it whole. This reminds me of all the photographs I used to slice up and piece together again at offset levels. Very cool image!
