WIP: transforming beings 2: from concept to fabric

In November, I spent some time with Ryan, a creative young man who created a number of beings for me. Some were animals; some were human, but with their body parts replaced by appendages with a variety of uses.

When I began to work on making prints of Ryan's artwork, I felt quite challenged by his drawings and I doubted that I would be able to create a fabric print that would work well.

After a lot of fun, playing around with Ryan's work, I created several designs. I had five designs printed, using Spoonflower.

I love how all of the fabrics turned out. My next challenge is to determine which of these designs I want to print onto more yardage...

I am also looking forward to continuing to work with both Ryan and Chelsea to create some more prints.

  1. The third one is my favorite. What are you planning to do with the fabric?

    1. I love how the third one turned out. There was something professionally printed on the other side of Ryan's "canvas". I was concerned about how much would show through and what that might look like on fabric. I like how it turned out. The grey shading gives it a bit of an industrial look.

      I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the fabric. I think I'll make a shirt for Ryan, and of course, I'll work it into a few quilts and other projects.

      Thanks for your attention and interest, Judy!
