DESIGN PROCESS

Techniques:

Molding paste applied to interfacing substrate, textured, digitally prepared with inkAid digital grounds, and printed in sections to create a larger finished photograph. This is quilted and cut into segments. Each segment is edge stitched, sealed with paint and hand-tied together with pearl cotton. The entire piece is protected with varnish.

Spreading Molding Paste

Fused to acrylic felt ‘batting’ and sprayed with Krylon UV Resistant spray.

Deciding on quilting by using clear plastic. Drew design on the plastic and overlaid on image for quilting evaluation

A second protective coat of diluted Satin Varnish was applied after quilting

Dried piece was trimmed into smaller segments to create a segmented quilt with interior design

Painting edges instead of binding for a neat decorative edge seal

Adding specialty mediums to highlight

Sewing dried segments together
