Your quilt will be wonderful and I love, love your corgi! Have never had one but some day if I ever have another dog I sure would love to have a corgi!

Nice work! I trace images in EQ to get the templates, or be lazier and print photos on fabric. This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
|
Very nice! I agree with the other ladies that posted you should do a tutorial on this technique. I too would love to do one as a tribute to my Boxer. Thank you for sharing!

For now, I don't feel like I can do this, as I would feel like I am taking from the quilt artist who taught the workshop. I'll do some research on various ways that quilt portraits are created to try to figure out how much of Aniko's method is hers alone. What I can tell you is that we did not use computers or sewing machines in class yesterday (the sewing will come later). The pattern was created using an enlarged photo, transparencies, an ultrafine sharpie, pencils, fabric and fusible. The current status of the project is a fusible applique. I'll be adding thread painting and the background over the next few weeks. I think one of the keys to a successful quilt from a picture is the quality of the starting picture. I do go into a little more detail on my blog. And I will say, that my basic drawing skills stink, but I am pretty darn good at tracing... Cheers, K |

Currently, he is a champion lapdog. Yup. Got a few Champion Lapdogs at home myself. They get to come out and play once a year at the Nationals in Veterans class. |
Great work, beautiful pet!
|
Great job!
|
I love it! I have a Husky I would love to try this technique on.
|
Wow!!!!
|
Wow, I am very impressed with both of the dog portraits here! I would love to try this technique. Having read through the blog I get the general concept but suspect the real trick would be drawing the outlines for the "paint-by-number" ...
Thanks so much for posting! |
Very cool!
|
Aye, very nice and I am in favor of a tutorial.
|
AYE!!!
|
Fantastic job. I love it.
|
Oh my. That is great. I could never attempt that.
|
OH Boy that is super

Thanks so much for posting! If one is recreating an image from a coloring book, as I've seen suggested numerous times for creating patterns, one can follow the basic lines in on the page, and then decide where to highlight. Working from a photo, you have to figure out your own lines. If you look at Dash's left ear, you can see where it is darkly mottled at the tip and there is a much lighter patch along the left side - so as I traced that, it was easy to decide on those color patches. His white chest and feet present a different challenge. One could simply have a very large expanse of white, or one could try to bring out the highlights. Faced with a color printer that had run out of color (see exposure at left of picture, it is a bit pink), I printed several versions of the black & white photo using different contrast settings (playing around in Photoshop Elements), so that I'd have an idea of where he was more white than other areas. And considering he had just been bathed following an emergency vet visit the night before that picture was taken, his feet glisten. Some of the shine will be done with thread later, but some was done by varying the fabric chosen. The transparency is used both the create the templates for the pattern pieces and also to place the pieces (might be clearer in the second shot). I am taking the request for a formal tutorial seriously and considering how best to do it without taking from the teacher of this workshop. I do love teaching and sharing.
