Perfect Timing?

Amidst a day of laundry, packing, maps and the lashing down of boats it seemed like a perfect time to stop and do a t-shirt transfer project! (Ok, you want the truth? The truth is I've been telling my daughter I would help her with this for two weeks and wanted to complete it for her before we left for vacation.)


My son is developing such an interesting style to his drawing. He did these little houses about a month ago. My daughter decided they would work just great along the bottom hem of a t-shirt. We scanned the images and printed them out on Avery Inkjet Transfer paper. We came up with a fantastic finished project!

We are headed to Maine tomorrow for a two week holiday. I will struggle being away from the studio but I think the distance will make me concentrate on things I have been neglecting like drawing and reading...and dreaming. I expected to come home refreshed and energized!

Collaboration

I have had photo transfers to polymer on my list of "things to try" for a while. I decided it would be a great project to collaborate on with the photographers in the household - my husband and my daughter.


Its actually very easy and I am thrilled with the results thus far! This first piece with the hydrangea on white polymer came out of the oven and my head started spinning with the possibilities of application of this process. Isn't it a nice surprise when things just work out?


All the photos below are were all taken by my daughter, Ema. It appears as though taking a risk and buying a 15 year old that Nikon was a good decision after all!
