When this blog first began, it featured all things quilty and was titled Art From The Heart. Years go by, interests morph, horizons expand, and all of a sudden you realize you are a quilter, yes...but also a spinner, weaver, knitter, crocheter, mixed media, fiber artist. The art is still from the heart, but the new name reflects my excitement with all things fiber! It's Fantabulous!
Photo printed onto canvas. Thread sketched lower half of photo and thread painted father w/son. Can't wait to work on some more 'relational' photos! :?}
Hello! I saw this photo in the QA gallery. You do what I do! I love threadpainting printed photos. I'm working on a family farm right now. I print mine onto buckrum and give it a spray with krylon 'preseverve it'. And then matt & frame under glass. : ) The buckrum feeds well into the printer. DO you use actual canvas? PS - nice to meet you!
The canvas is a packaged product for photos. The first batch I had was Kodak brand. I am currently waiting for a new kind to try. The Kodak photo canvas was a bit 'stiff' for the machine, but the painterly look is great! Hope this next batch is a tad bit softer. We can but experiment... Do you have a blog that shows off your stuff? Would love to peek. Everyone sharing is how I am slowly evolving from hobby to business
