Fragments Art Journal

Post by mpizzazz »

In 2005, I made a quilt with a lot of image transfers of parts of buildings on it. It was named Fragments. There were a lot of transfers, the release papers and practice pieces leftover that I wanted to do something with. It occurred to me recently that they might be good practice for some painting.
Here are a few of the pages with the fabric and paper transfers glued to them with some other bits of stuff. Since I took the photos, I took them apart so each spread is a single layer. When they are all finished they will be sewn back to back to make signatures.

I did this practice spread to decide on supplies needed and will take the pages along on the Aussie trip for something to do. I'm trying to do this in a style reminiscent of DJ Pettitt.

Well, if that's your "practice" spread, I can't wait to see the rest of it. Beautiful!

Thank you! Believe me it was practice and trial and error especially trying to find something that would stick to the window which is on photo paper. I did water transfers using photo paper on the quilt. At least there are only a few in the journal.
