What is more precious to a mother than her children?<br /><br />I love your description of this piece being so ethereal and dreamy you could just dive into it. Thanks so much!<br /><br />As you say, hopefully my trip to Montreal will fill me with the zest I need to go on with this project upon my return.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-55922800144073350082009-11-18T12:22:23.324-04:002009-11-18T12:22:23.324-04:00Blue Sky,

I enjoy looking at your work as well! <br /><br />Fabrics are just so seductive, and playing with them so much fun. I am less enthralled with sewing, though. It seems a necessary evil.

Actually, the good thing about working this way is that it's more about instinct and less about mind.<br /><br />I always enjoy looking at your Avignon photos but that one of the musician really grabbed me.

Fabulous. That is a photo I would frame and put up on my wall", thanks for the compliment.

Every bit helps, esp. as I'm having trouble getting back into the groove.<br /><br />I've had pretty good success with this transfer method, but may have to try others as the brand of transparencies I've been using is no longer being made and the available brands are rather expensive for my budget. There are all sorts of new digital "papers" (incl. canvas, silk, etc.) out there that are good for printing photos on to use in collage or sewing. All a bit pricey, too. <br /><br />I've tried transfering a print from paper to cloth, using the matte gel method, and it works but usually comes out a bit chalky as the paper has to be rewet and scrubbed away, leaving residue.<br /><br />I guess experimentation is the way to proceed. I think there's scads of info on the net to delve into.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-86948954299842688772009-11-14T12:00:32.547-04:002009-11-14T12:00:32.547-04:00Just beautiful. love the colors and the way you m...Just beautiful. love the colors and the way you meld the collage and painterly. Thanks for the photo transfer info. I have tried innumerable times to do photo transfers. Usually they dont work. i just watched a You tube video where someone used, not transparency paper, but similar clear transfer paper. She then just peeled off the transfer paper and had the image beautifully done. I must try that!sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-57681377985867645062009-11-14T11:41:45.080-04:002009-11-14T11:41:45.080-04:00Hi J:

It wasn't a conscious decision; more like a gut instinct, so I'm glad it made sense in the end.<br /><br />The way I've been doing my photo transfers is by printing(inkjet printer) a reverse image of my photo onto a transparency (as the ones used for overhead projectors; avlbl. at office supply shops. Don't get quick dry.) Then smearing a layer (like mayonnaise) of Golden acrylic matte gel medium onto a piece of muslin that's larger than the photo. Next, place the transparency ink-side down into the wet medium on the fabric, and burnish it with the back of a spoon, starting from the centre and moving in circles outwards. Gently peel away the transparency et voilĂ --photo on fabric.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-77486257382157456072009-11-14T10:11:05.514-04:002009-11-14T10:11:05.514-04:00I just noticed your fabricat - what an adorable fu...I just noticed your fabricat - what an adorable furball. :)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm curioius how do you transfer photographs onto fabric? <br /><br />And I definitely prefer the whitey paint, brings it all together and reminds me of sea foam.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307649445757209162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-50213592709020318872009-11-13T23:06:52.423-04:002009-11-13T23:06:52.423-04:00Hi Margaret,

I like that you got a marina feel from it. <br /><br />Too bad you couldn't leave a comment over at Decollete. I must have been futzing with it at the time (is "futzing" a word? It's a combination of fussing and putzing. Is putzing a word?) The White Spot painting on that posting captures exactly what the place was like--it was my favourite one because of the mural they had painted on a billboard. While we sat in the car and ate our food, it was as if we were gazing out at a beautiful vista. <br /><br />I was kinda cute, wasn't I?

I like the way the boats jut out at the viewer, plus I like how the silvery strips and pieces give it that water/lake/marina feel.<br />I couldn't find a comment place on the other blog. I wanted to tell you how great the video was with all the Nash Ramblers in it and getting to hear the song! The painting must truly be a nostalgic piece to so many people. You were so cute! And your whole family!
