Photo Transfer
 

This was something that sat on the backburner for a while. The picture transfer is of my sister taken in 2011. It was a 8x10 so this piece is about 36x20. I'm really pleased how I made the "transfer" disappear. And of course, one of my favourite subjects, BC.[ATTACH=CONFIG]508074[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]508075[/ATTACH]

That is amazing! Beautiful work!

MaryK ... I have been watching you "build" this one on your blog ... and with every update, I just cannot imagine the transformation that has taken place! Another of your amazing works.

Hope you are keeping this from your sister and will surprise her when you ship it west!!
(and that you are keeping to show it off at your Guild show)
.......... and that she is being ordered to keep it for herself (or that you keep it all for yourself??) :D

Congratulations!! on this latest feat!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I have been considering keeping it till after the show in May. This is the first year they have an official "art Quilt" category. Could be interesting!
Thanks E.

Though I thought it might be cute to be able to say " I sold my sister" LOL

WOW, that is absolutely beautiful!! You did an amazing job.

.... As they would say on FB *LIKE* :)

Tooooo funny ... and yes, would be a good conversation piece.
But gosh, the significance of this one ... it just HAS to stay with one of you! :)
And what better one to keep for yourself??
You could then have your own bit of BC at home with you, along with your sister.
What you need to do next ... is a similar one, with yourself in it, to give to her! :D


No question about it ... a MUST for the show! :)

Fabulous! I'd love to know how you did this! It's amazing!

thanks for sharing your "How to "

Sitting hear in slack jawed amazement. Fabulous and flawless. Can't see where the picture transfer ends and the background begins. Wish I could see it in person.

Take a look at MaryK's blog ... she details it very well and tells all her secrets!
However, she has not managed to disperse doses of her magical pixie dust,
which really is what we need!! :)

YOU CAN ..... come north to her Guild Show in May!!!!
I promise, it will be even more awesome.
I have seen some of her other works,
and they are SO MUCH more impressive when you see them IRL!


Then we can all meet IRL! :)

A fabulous work of art! Just amazing ....I love BC too!

Absolutely amazing. Stunning. Wow.

OMG that is amazing. I love it!!

Gorgeous!!!

Oh this is just so beautiful. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the quilt. Truly spectacular. I am off to find out how you did it all. Wow!

wow very nice!!!

WOW!!! Very impressive - love it!

wow, what a super work of art. you did a fantastic job integrating the photo

Beautiful! I can't find the edges of the transfer either!

This is the first time I've seen something like this and for me it is truly amazing. You are truly talented and we are blessed to see that talent.

I went to the blog, but is there a how to on the picture transfer; I am so interested to see how this is done?

Me too....But how do I even find the blog?

Just spectacular! You have such great creativity and talent!!!

This is awesome. You are truly an artist!

Photo transfers are made with specialized or treated fabric. They are run through a standard computer printer. There are instructions that come with the prepared fabric and plenty of on line tutorials. Most high end quilt shops sell the pretreated fabric sheets.

that is so dang cool I can't even believe it! I so want to do an art quilt. Will have to check out your blog

The web address is given in the bottom line of all of MaryK's posts.

That's fantastic. What a wonderful gift to give her. Actually can't think of enough superlatives to describe your quilt.

I thought what you had done was something different. I am familiar with these types of photo transfers and have to say I'm even in more awe of your work; these transfers are not that easy to work with.

This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is truly a beautiful piece of art. I will have to check your blog to see how this is done. I wish I was creative enough to do something like this piece. Love, love, love it.

Your work is just amazing. You are so talented and gifted.

Absolutely amazing! Your sister will be so thrilled.

Ditto what feline fanatic said, my gosh your work is incredible and amazing. Does it take a very long time to make this kind of art piece? The detail is WOW!

Stunning work!

Not much left to say! This is absolutely gorgeous.... and I especially love BC too! My sisters and I hike together so this would be a perfect wall hanging in our homes too! (won't be making one but love yours!)

Wow that is amazing! I'm new to quilting - didn't know something like this was possible Would like to know more!

Great job!
