So, I’m trying desperately to print one of these pictures on silk:
The pictures are from a band called: The Storyville Stompers (listen to their music, it’s awesome). They do traditional New Orleans Funeral marches along with regular dixieland jazz. Good stuff. I thought their pictures were cool…with a little enhancement from Photoshop.
That will be the center of a block with this selection of fabric (so far)…but I’m still working on composition and of course…the photograph. I’m going for a blending of old and new (since I see myself a bit that way in crazy quilting).
So, here’s my problem…Lazertran silk. I bought it a couple of days ago to play with and so far can’t get it to work….at all. The stuff is even supposed to transfer onto metal, so I doubt it’s my fabric choice. All I can think is I’m not ironing long enough. I read the “tutorial” on Joggles and she says to iron and iron, but she was using cotton. Anyway, I finally just attached my satin to freezer paper and ran it through the printer….worked fine and as a result here are my two block ideas….so far (since these pictures I picked out several more fabrics).
Anyway, we’re also potty training (or attempting it) this weekend…wish us luck!
