My Precious Mom

As promised, here is the picture of the very first Photo Transfer Canvas that I did.  I was invited to participate in a class that a friend of mine was hosting.  It was so much fun and now I can take any photo, transfer it to canvas and embellish it in any way you want.  I actually have several in progress and will share them as they are completed.

While Mom is no longer with us, she is thought of daily and missed so much.  I have many fond memories of all we did together.  I am blessed to have had such a mother.

If you have a photo you would like transferred to a canvas, I would be happy to discuss details with you.  Just e-mail me for information.

A Study in Black and White

Today I'm sharing one of the Photo Transfer Canvas' that I love to make.  This is a photo I took of a tree covered with frozen fog.  The original photo is actually a color photo but I have a love of all things black and white so that's how I had it printed.  I plan to do a transfer of the colored one, eventually.  What I showing you today is the before photo.  I still need to do some embellishing but have yet to decide what I want to add.  I'll be sure to posted the finished work once it's done.

Tomorrow I'll share the very first Photo Transfer Canvas I ever made.  I do take orders for custom made canvases.  If you'd like to know more, please feel free to contact me via the e-mail address listed above.

Photo Transfer Canvas

One of the projects I enjoy making is a photo transfer canvas.  Thanks goes to Thomas Edison and his 1876 invention of the mimeograph machine, the forerunner for today's copy machine.  I can still remember the smell of the ink when we were given a handout fresh off the mimeograph.  It is one of those memories from grade school that is never forgotten.

What a long way the ability to make copies has come.  Now you can copy most everything.  Today's copy machines, with reverse imaging, makes it easy to do my photo transfer canvases.  And, you can even program the size of the image you need.  Now how easy is that, I ask you?

The following photo transfer canvas was made from a photo I took while waiting my turn at Culver's drive through window.  The bush was loaded with blossoms so I snapped the picture right out of my car window.  I always carry my camera with me because you just never know when you'll get a great shot.

Just One More Day

This week has been a whirlwind of activity.  I feel like I've met myself coming and going several times.  :-)  The final preparations for this Saturday's Open House are nearly done.  Our Make 'n Take is ready, a special Door Prize package is just waiting to go home with the lucky recipient and everyone gets a free gift.  Fun, food and fellowship.  What could be better?

I don't have a new card design to show you at this time.  As you can imagine, my focus has been on the Open House.  I decided to share one of my Photo Transfer Canvases with you.  This is another of the projects I love to create.  This was taken right outside my door last winter.  The fog was thick the night before and when I woke, the trees were covered with frozen fog.  It was so beautiful.  Although the actual photo is in color, my love for black and white made these the perfect pictures for this technique.

Leave a comment letting me know what you think?  I always enjoy hearing from you.
