These are the finished quilts I did from the Photoshop Elements Class. I am going to develop the succulents into a series of quilts using different methods of coloring the image. This one is applique. The upper right hand area is the photo printed onto cotton and used as an applique. I have one painted in silk dye, planning to paint one in thickened Procion dye and perhaps one using fabric paint.
I always loved the photo and now I love the quilt. How to quilt it was one of the problems that needed solving. I hope it is a suitable solution.
We will be moving onto working with thickened dye. These are examples of "Breakdown Printing" I like to do this technique because of the serendipity. You don't know what you will get as you print and the dried dye melts. The bottom row has a stencil printed over the breakdown. Something to explore?
Bring your blank silk screen or supplies to make one.
4 stretcher bars
nylon or poly organza
staple gun (I have one if you don't)
Duct Tape (I have 2 big rolls)
We will paint the screens with thickened dye and let them dry for 1 week.
The next week we will print our screens. Are you going to do cotton or silk?
