I've been continuing in my exploration of using photos in quilts, and this is the most recent in the series. That photo is me, at maybe age 2 or 3, somewhere in there. (Looks like it was taken right before a birthday party or some such event.) I was experimenting with inkjet transfer and for some reason when I transferred a black and white photo onto a pale lavender fabric, got an image that was a lovely shade of blue.
The background fabric is one I painted ages and ages ago, and then I fused organza on and added stitching. It was a very fun process.
I'm looking forward to playing more with inket transfers... looks like many wonderful effects can result.
What a conincidental post.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned last night that I am about as caught up as I am ever going to get cleaning and organizing my studio and now I am going to have some FUN!
I'm so glad I visited your blog, I am about to start a photo transfer quilt. I love your results - wonderful movement and color!
