Teasel transfer

What a wealth of ideas were on the PA blog entitled Image Transfer.

Recently, I bought some Photo Fabric, which is paper backed fabric that I can print onto from my inkjet printer.

Also recently, I created a doodle style project over on the Wanderlust course and decided to develop it using the transfer technique.

I started by using the image of the Teasels and printing it onto the fabric, first small and in the original colours and then A4 in grey tones.


I backed the larger image onto Vilene and began to draw over it with my sewing machine....machine embroidery!


Added lots of machine and hand embroidery and then added some seed beads etc from my tiny stash!!


I sewed a frame for my smaller image using Sari silk, added seed beads and sewed it onto my main picture! 


I added lots of buttons....printed a Lin Brown sentiment onto Sari Silk and there it was finished! 
Feel really pleased with it! 





I am entering this into the PA challenge.

    I can barely contain my envy as I contemplate your sewing skills! Apparently my machine is capable of free embroidery... not in my hands! The concept of small/colour large/B&W appeals and all the beads and details look fantastic.

    I'm not surprised you're pleased with this... it's simply wonderful. I love the initial development of the image into the large grayscale version, and then the machine embroidery in matching shades is fabulous. Love how you've layered the smaller image on, and all those wonderful buttons. Brilliant!
