Starship Enterprise


Thank you Cheri for this fun challenge.  I used two new products for the first time, Lutradur, and Transfer Artist Paper (TAP).   I found free pics of the starship on-line and added the lettering USS Enterprise in Photoship, then printed to TAP, and heat transfered the image to Lutradur.  Next I took some blue fabric and discharged it with bleach to make the galaxy.  The starship was added to my galaxy, and netting and sequin-stars were added.  This piece is 11" x 12 1/4".  Linda Mac in WY

This is so cool Linda! I have yet to try the TAP. Is it easy to use? The light and shadow and the beam of light from the spaceship are fabulous! There is so much depth and dimension Great job!
This is a beauty!

Very out there! I can just see this spaceship landing somewhere. I like all the details.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, Cherie, the TAP is very easy to use, and I am pleased on how it came out. This is a product I will use again. I also like transferring to the Lutradur when using such a dark background fabric.
Janice, I noticed the 'Photoship' after posting and had to laugh.

Linda, as a star trek fan for years I love this piece. You really created a sense of outer space, and with great style and flourish. Your piece has depth, excitement, movement, contrast - I can't say enough good about it - AWESOME!

This piece made me smile. Excellent use of photo transfer and background technique. I think I'll run to the library now to rent Star trek. AAAoooooo- the final frontier!
