I experimented with how to incorporate a digital photograph without using the photo "as is". I played with Photoshop Elements to alter the photograph. It's amazing what a deadline will do for me...... I had Photoshop Elements loaded onto my computer, but had not taken any time to play with it and see what it could do. I had great fun making it. It made me start thinking about other ways that I can use my photographs, other than in my travel journals. These images were printed directly onto canvas, in case you were wondering.I had so much fun making this piece that I've already finished another one using the same photograph, and have a 3rd piece (with a different photo) ready to quilt and bind later this week. I'll be sure to post the finished piece.
Thanks for checking in!

Very interesting quilt, Wonderful. I wouldn't have guessed that was a photo. I would love to see the original photo and hear the story of the quilt.

Good idea! Once I finish reinstalling everything onto my computer - after this system upgrade - I'll try to find the original photo and post more about this quilt. Thanks!

Jan,
Love your piece. PSE offers so many opportunities. Mine incorporated a tree that I had extracted from its background in PSE and then made a screen from and printed with paint on fiber. Too much fun.

Elaine,
Thanks for your kind words - I haven't played with the extraction feature yet, but I've seen it demoed. I'm looking forward to playing with it, too!
