What is this technique called?

Several years ago there was a minor craze to make fabric 'pictures' using
tiny scraps. The scraps were like confetti and were attached to a base and
covered with netting I think. Maybe fusible was involved. Some of the
pictures were realistic, such as trees and others were more stylized like
mosaic design. Can anyone recall what this is called? I'd like to play with
it a bit, but need the name to do a search.

There was a book called "Piecelique" as a take off from the word
applique. I have no idea if this was the name of the technique, or just
the name of this specific book.

After running though my book cases only twice, I found my book on
this:

More Snippet Sensations but Cindy Walter

This one involved fusible, remove the backing paper, then snip and let
fall into place. Press according to instructions and stitch on top.

I was going to says "snippets" even if I hadn't found my book, but I
guess now you'd all not ever believe that...

Yep---Snippits it is.

I wonder that something like that would produce a Monet look - up
close just color change but further away it would be a definite
design.

Snippets it is--------and yes it would sort of look like a Monet. Have
done a little and it is fun--make sure you tear off the fusible paper
BEFORE cutting all the tiny snippets lol

Snippit quilts? Maybe. A couple of people in my guild made them like crazy
for awhile.

Are you looking for Tammie Bowser and her technique with the pixels? She
has a couple of books and a computer program.
She did a lecture at guild last month and her work is really amazing. If I
wasn't so cheap I would have bought the program.
