Tomorrow, my art group is working on discharge - so I am doing my homework and reviewing some of my favorite artists - I have had some exposure to discharging - and have played with it some - but not enough to control the results -
Website - Jane Dunnewold
A few years back, I had the great fortune to attend a Jane Dunnewold workshop, who is both an outstanding artist and educator. Wow, I learned so much about color and composition - Although I have most of Jane's CDs, I have never really had a reason to sit down and seriously review until now.
Later, I had the good fortune to met Bob Adams at Quilt Visions - besides being a fabulous artist, both his wife and Bob are genuinely nice people.

Why Polywog?
Perhaps a better question is why not Polywog?
Growing up in the mid-west, with a houseful of brothers, the Polywog Pond was the best place to escape. Although it was across the street from home, to me, the pond was deep in the forest. Quiet and peaceful, what an exciting place to watch for frog eggs, or finally discover they had hatched into polliwogs, and eventually see them turn into frogs.
And the colors, what an array of colors! From the deepest greens, to the softest blues, mixed in were a blur of browns, and yellows, and violets... Splashes of white, pink and perhaps orange or fuchsia.
The fiber art process is very similar. Finding the fabrics, cutting them into pieces, joining the pieces to make a top, quilting it together to make an an art quilt. And the colors and textures of the fabrics, unlimited.
The Polywog Pond will continue to live on...

Charles P Kuehl 11 June 1949 - 15 Aug 2009
This is how I will always remember my brother Chuck- as my big brother - who protected me and my many furry friends from many misfortunes. He was a Vietnam Vet who made it back -
He may be gone from this life - but he is NOT FORGOTTEN.
Randy R Kuehl 19 Jul 1957 - 22 Oct 2009
I will always remember my little brother Randy - he was well liked, and kind to all. He had a good heart and I miss him each and every day. He proudly served his country in the US Marines, and had one lovely daughter Lyn, who he cherished.
His life was difficult, as he struggled with brittle diabetes, but he never gave up.
He is gone from this life - but he is NOT FORGOTTEN.
