There was no specific project that came to mind with the flowers, so I decided to scan them all and experiment with making some digital textures with the pieces that might possibly be useful in future projects. I’m not sure these will be, but it was fun to play around with them.
I had fun with the scanning part, and did some with the scanner lid open and closed, and like how bits of them are blurry. I layered them with some paint textures and sketches to see what happened.
Afterwards, I made some cards with them. Stitching and a little gluing, with a few bits of painted paper too. Have not yet found a satisfying purpose for my rolled rose, but hope to still.

Great idea to scan them: it's like you get to keep your flowers and use them up, too!
ReplyDeleteWow!! The different effects of scanning give a bit of a watercolour feel, don't they! Love Ruth's lace in the sky, and the dark blossom on the little girl's dress... You have taken our fibre art into a whole new dimension! (", )
