{new fiber experiments...}

So you might ask what is all the PSE about from

a fiber artist's blog?

This is why.  I am building a inventory of altered

photos to use in my fiber art.  The  altered photo from last

week has now been printed on a sheer fabric shown below.

As I am in the experimenting what if-ing stage and I didn't have

any freezer wrap on hand to adhere the sheer fabric to for

printing.  So I used an image transfer sheet instead.

It came out a bit raggy and was distorted after transferring

to the sheer fabric.  But it ironed out flat.  So all in all not to bad.

The raggy part has an appeal all to itself.  Which I like.

Below

is the original altered photo transferred to cotton fabric, pieced

to create a mini art quilt top.

I usually print directly on the cotton fabric but again

experiment what if-ing with new things I did a transfer instead.

It does change the hand of the fabric more but again not

necessarily a bad thing for my purposes

Below

 is the mini art quilt with the sheer fabric image laying over

the top of the cotton fabric image.

 This process is known as a holographic looking image.

I am not sure this is the best photo for this process as the original

photo already has sort of a ghostly affect to it.  The sheer may just

be too much.  Then again I haven't worked with this before so I'm

still not sure which I like best.

Either way I will be quilting the top here soon.
