The Walworthians<\/p>\n

A collection of telephone interviews published in the Wayne County STAR Newspaper and Wayne County MAIL Newspaper, 1994-209<\/strong><\/p>\n by Kate Chamberlin<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Edith Pasquini is one of the people in our neighborhood. She has a special talent as an artist and entrepauneer. Her Historic Home Town Series replicates building facades on wood.<\/p>\n \u201cI have the historic buildings of Walworth. West Walworth and Lincoln almost complete,\u201d she said,\u00a0 \u201cAs well as The churches in Marion.\u201d<\/p>\n At Canaltown Days in Palmyra, September 13 and 14, Edie will be selling copies of the Zion Episcopal Church, The Western Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church\u00a0 the Baptist Church and St. Anne\u2019s Catholic Church.<\/p>\n Edie has been commissioned by numerous people to commemorate their own homes, too.<\/p>\n She makes a pencil drawing from a photograph of the building, seals the wood and paints in details using colored acrylic paints. She uses a Sears Craftsman band saw to cut out each building\u2019s silhouette. On her originals she signs the front. On each decoupage copy she signs and dates the back. The final step is to weather-proof the back of each cut out.<\/p>\n If it is not a commissioned work, she will keep the original and make copies for sale in her shop, Potpourri of Gifts, 2256 Walworth-Marion Road, Walworth, 315-986-7999.<\/p>\n Edie has copies made at Loram Productions in Webster.<\/p>\n \u201cI like to have laser copies made,\u201d she said. \u201cThey can be enlarged or reduced in size and are an exact copy each time. The color has to be exactly right, too.\u201d<\/p>\n She numbers each copy so she knows how many she has, but, she stressed, the last copy is identical to the first copy.<\/p>\n Edie has been painting since her high school days at Rush-Henrietta, but didn\u2019t pursue painting seriously until about ten years ago.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She has been doing her Historic Home Town Series of collectibles since 1992.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been trying something new to me,\u201d she said referring to the historic four churches in Palmyra and St. Anne\u2019s. \u201cI\u2019ve painted them on water color paper and laser copied that to make the copies to decoupage onto wood for cutting out. It is a lot easier to carry a piece of paper to the printers than it is a stack of odd wood shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n Edie\u2019s booth for Canaltown will be located on the Episcopal Church lawn at the corner of Main and Canandaigua Streets. Along with her Historic Home Town Series, She\u2019ll have a variety of her creative driftwood Santa Clauses with crafts and paintings by the artists in her shop. If your club or group needs a fund raiser, ask Edie about doing a commemorative building that would be unique to your group.<\/p>\n Pat Salisbury of Cross Stitch Corner will be sharing the booth with Edie, so you\u2019ll get to meet both of these Walworth entrepauners at Canaltown Days.<\/p>\n Thank you, Edie, you add variety and class to our town. You are a Walworthian with the accent on WORTH.<\/p>\n 2018 Up-Date: Potpourri of Gifts lost a lot of business when the road in front of her shop took so long to be re-surfaced, so the shop is closed. She enjoys doing fine art projects for friends and family; visiting their camp on Butterfield Lake; and traveling to Germany, Maryland, and Massachusetts to visit their sons.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Walworthians A collection of telephone interviews published in the Wayne County STAR Newspaper and Wayne County MAIL Newspaper, 1994-209 by Kate Chamberlin \u00a0 ~Edie Pasquini, Artist October 10, 1997 Edith Pasquini is one of the people in our neighborhood.
