Summit Festival 2011

Going to the Summit Festival Saturday, August 20th 

I will be setting up bright and early, in the sweet little town of Summit. I will have my usually goodies, lots of rusty art.

This year I thought I would put some of my other art to good use. These are a collection of bags made from my favorite botanical gelatin prints, and a couple of my sun-printed fabrics, all the bags include parts of recycled pants and trims from old curtains.

Summer Fun -Revisited

As I prepare to help teach a Gelatin Printing Class at my local Quilt Group I enjoyed looking back through last years Botanical Prints, it is always so fun and I always go way over board with the printing and still have not made any journal quilts with the prints yet . I am trying to decide if a whole Art quilt needs to be pieced with the series of prints, or do I make individual quilts? Maybe that is why I haven't decided what to do with them, right know I will enjoy reviewing them

Here are some pictures of some Botanical Gelatin Prints that I made last summer.

As you can see there are usually two - three good prints from each subject, I have dozens more these are just a sampling.
