Sometimes, fiber art starts in an unexpected place. When I’m shooting, I look for interesting patterns. The original shot might not be scintillating, as this shot isn’t.
I took the shot and had fun in editing.
It’s an improvement, but I took the photo as the sun was going down and I didn’t want a shot that looked like it was taken during the day.
First, I used the surrealistic feature on PhotoScape X.
Then I used an overlay and a texture. I like the result and I may have this printed by Spoonflower and turn it into an art quilt.
I wanted to play a bit more, so I used the underwater feature and made extreme bends in the shot.
Next, I played with the tiny planet feature.
Then, I used the kaleidoscope feature.
It reminds me of a tile floor and it could make for an interesting quilt if I had the design printed by Spoonflower. It could be a contemporary approach to a pieced quilt.
Because of the delay in shipping caused by the vile pandemic, Spoonflower sent out coupons for a discount on a future order. I need to put together a list of all the fabrics I want printed up both for art quilts an for garments. Some of my designs would make great yoga pants. Others would be good for garments. Some would be printed and turned into little quilts.
I’ve been working on product photography and put some new jewelry in my store.

Love how you shared the various iterations you achieved from a single photo image. It’s so much fun playing with various photo manipulation apps, isn’t it.
