So for the Simple Still Life here is the picture that is what we are to work with. I wasn't immediately interested enough in it to try a fiber version. So, I used the free photo editing program Irfanview with a filter program I bought called FiltersUnlimited. I'm not lucky enough to have Photoshop, so this is what I have to work with.
The first image reminds me of the kaleidoscope/mandala quilt that I did for my husband's office, the "Ayn Rand Mandala". In other words, I could actually make this into a quilt!
This one would be harder to do in quilty fashion, but I love the way the mirrored images make new shapes, like the heart which is part of the ceramic pot. 
Then lastly is a swirly whirly image that looks like the plant is getting taken off in Dr Who's Tardis or something. This would be more fun to paint this time of image I think.
So I'm not sure if I'm done done yet, as I may actually translate one of these images into a small quilt, we'll see how the rest of the month goes!
Those are cool, Julie! The first one looks almost stack 'n' whacky. The second looks fractal-y. The third one makes me kind of dizzy, but in a good way. It looks like your filter program is fun.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool!!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the trial of Irfanview (i think), but didn't buy it, so it expired on me... but these are wonderful!!
The second one looks like an elegant pizza (or is that just because I'm hungry?)
Yes! Very nice. It will be fun to see how they translate into fabric.
