I wanted to transfer the photo onto fabric without going to the store...
I took a piece of white cotton/poly fabric and spray tacked it with 505 spray and fix, a temporary fabric adhesive, onto white bond paper. Then trimmed the edges carefully to fit the exact edge of the 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Placed it into my ink jet printer. Said a quick prayer that it would not jam up and hit the print button.
It worked!
I pressed it and sprayed it carefully (misting it) with a few layers of scotch guard hoping it would not bleed.
It was ready to be stitiched down along with fussy cut and collaged fabrics, ribbons, rhinestones, pearls and even Glam-Ma's flowers. So there ya go!
I'm anxious to try it again. I really want to play around with figuring out how else to set the inks permanetly...if you know tell me please!
It was a beautiful day,
in an amazing setting,
with good food
and great friends

I love what you did to that! Esp all the extra dimension, with the stitching, and the crocheted flower, and stuff! And that picture IS perfect for that.

What a lovely idea, and the pillow is beautiful. I bet she loved it. The setting does look wonderful and that cupcake looks yummy too. Karen
amazing!
and i'm so with you, the doing something WITHOUT going to the store. Ugh. when you want to make something, you want to make something!!!
Glam-ma is gorgeous.
just making sure my name is in this! I love your pillow! Lady you simply amaze me in the degree of art you have in you!
What a most fabulous gift.....done with love and supreme talent!!!
I love those stamps, I had a set made with one of my drawings of a dreadlock girl on them.
Golden has those new digital ground mediums- I have all three but haven't experimented yet. Evidently one of them really makes the image on fabric not only more vibrant but waterproof as well. I'll let you know when I do some tests.
You are SO talented!
XOXO
I'm finding that my comment to you is always the same but THAT is amazing! You are so talented and have a very lucky friend to get such an original, cool present.
A really fab gift.
I've transferred an image in a similar way except that I stuck fabric
to paper slightly down from the top, so that the edge of the paper would go into the rollers. I used masking tape pressed down as flat as possible to attach the fabric.
Despite the printer making horrendous grinding sounds it worked, but I'm wary of attempting this often!

You are such a talented lady, my gosh that pillow is gorgeous! hugs***Renea
Now that project is something that should be in a magazine. You should sumbit the photos and the steps and I bet you'd get a write-up. Cool technique.
