Mick Jagger Mosaic Photo Art 17 1/2 x 19 1/2

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:15:26 -0400

$700.00
This piece took two weeks to complete and I used cotton fabrics with fusibles. When I see this piece on my wall, it looks like it was made with clay. I can see what appears to be finger trails and marks. This image is leading me to a different type of art. It looks like a sculpture. The colors that were chosen were ony 12. The last image is the original photo that I used as my model. This palette will be used again in another image, so check my page often.

Photo Fabric Art Bessie Smith 27 1/2 x 31 3/4

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:15:26 -0400

$800.00
The images you are looking at are made from cotton fabric! No paint was used even though it looks just like a painting. To begin the process, a photo was scanned into the computer, a pattern was created, batik and hand dyed fabrics were selected and fused onto a lightweight tricot using a mini iron. Original photo is for comparison only.

The process takes 80-100 hours for a size 27"x31" and sometimes the pieces are so little (1/4") it can fit on you fingernail with plenty of room to see your nail! Stand away from computer to view for full effect.

The fabric selections seems to be the key in obtaining the painted look, even though I like to think that I have a little talent! Have a photo? Personal commissions welcomed.

The image is shipped rolled in a tube. When you open it, you can iron it flat by placing a piece of cotton fabric on your ironing board and also over the image and press (not iron) for a few seconds on cotton setting. It is now ready for framing. Select your choice of photo, priced separately and $7.00 shipping.

Mosaic Adam's Apple Photo Wall Art 15 x 16 1/2

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:01:57 -0400

$80.00
This apple mosaic was made with 3/4 inch fabric strips with 25 colors. The process took 10-12 hours to complete. It was an idea after I did a Mosaic of a lemon. I have taken photos of the original photo and close up of the finished piece for better views. You may have to stand away from your monitor to see it clearer. This was also a fun one to complete. The apple looks very nice in normal lighting, however when I dim the lights it really shines. I may decide to do one more of bananas to complete the trio.
