Hitching my Wagon

I am continuing to add components to my latest project. Although I am still not completely sure what direction I will head in, and which parts I will end up using, I do seem to be staying within the same colour family. All good!

I print a lot of my photos on fabric and use them in varying ways in my work. Last year I channeled my inner 8 year old and wrote a letter to Santa asking for my very own flywheel. This year I will try that strategy again and ask him for Photo Shop. I have used the editing program and love what I can do with it and know there is so much more to learn and so many ways for my pieces to evolve if I have it at my disposal.

Four individual photos printed on one fabric sheet using my inkjet printer

Another photo of mine printed on fabric as well as two mono prints, the one on the left mounted on solid black cotton

These photos were taken on a canoe trip on a lovely lake near Port Elgin, NB. We usually make a trip or two there every year and often see beavers, eagles, frogs and even the odd fish, as well water lilies in abundance. I think my photos reflect the tranquility and peacefulness to be found there.


Today I am hitching my blogger wagon to The Needle and Thread Network. It is great fun to see what everyone else has been up to - check them out! There are lots and lots of Canadian bloggers represented there.
