Liquified Scotland
I posted Liquefied Scotland as my challenge work for number 54. I used Photoshop to make the circles, using the liquefy filter. I tried to quilt on the lines -- not so good at machine quilting. Need practice! Rosemary in St. Louis
I like the effect you achieved with Photoshop. I can't see the quilting but I'm wondering if you quilted circles as Janice Paine-Dawes did if that wouldn't add more oomph to your piece. Is the black in back part of the piece or where you just laid it for photographing? I think it helps set the piece off but needs to be smaller or else wider on 2 sides and narrower on the other two.
Hi Rosemary, thanks for participating. I also like your manipulation, but the fabric you have behind the piece is killing it, imo. When using a border, whether it is a mat on a painting or fabric on a quilt piece, it shuld have some relationship to the piece it is framing. I wonderful green [but not a batik] would look smashing on this. Great job!

ReplyDeleteI just set the navy pieces next to the piece. Rosemary
ReplyDeleteWonderful rendition. I keep seeing all these wonderful manipulations in photo shop. I guess I better save my pennies for this one.
