Embroidered Vintage Photos of Artists and Icons
by Victoria Villasana
Working with appropriated vintage photographs of artists, musicians, and politicians, Mexican textile artist Victoria Villasana applies a colorfully whimsical layer of embroidery atop each image. Criss-crosses of color and bright highlights around the eyes seem to lend a sense of empowerment to the works which often depict feminist icons from singer Nina Simone to artist Frida Kahlo. Villasana also takes her works into the streets and creates hybrid yarn bomb paste-ups from small stickers to entire murals. You can see more of her recent work on Instagram.

Tuesday's Smiles ...

Jacki, I'll send the first smile about reading to my grandchildren. My grandson is 10 and he started learning English with Duolingo by his own (is that understandable?) - English lessons for him only will start in autumn in his next school year. For him it might still be a challenge to understand the text - but I'm confident he will understand. We all should never stop reading and learning.
Thank you, Elenor. I think it's wonderful that your grandson sought out Dueling on his own to learn English. I can imagine you are inspiring to him, and me.
