Last weekend I went down to the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, to see the fusionwear sv exhibit my fourth prize winning design (!) was related to.
I saw lots of great exhibits while I was there and was particularly drawn to work by Sandra Hart and Gudney Campbell. I could see that they are as fond of using Photoshop as I am, and that they had come up with some techniques that I was itching to come home and try myself.
When I went to the gift store after enjoying the exhibits I found a book by these two great artists. It's combines aspects of how to use Photoshop Elements, along with ideas for design. I try hard not to snap things up in the gift store these days, but I couldn't resist Piecing with Pixels. This picture is the first piece I've created using these techniques and I can only imagine how much fun I could have creating other pieces and printing them on the printer fabric sheets, as the book authors suggest.
