I outline those areas, taking care to be as accurate as I can. This photo accented the few browns on his face and gave me the highlights and shadows I would need in creating the line-drawing for the pattern, as well as definition to his face and body to guide me later in the collage process itself.Īs I say in the original post, in creating a line drawing, I begin by looking for the lights and darks of the image. So imagine my delight when a beautiful sunset walk at the end of the peninsula we live on yielded a sun-soaked photo of our wonderfully shaggy three-legged happy dog. Add to that his camera shyness and we have many pics of him as a dark blur. This particular post originally began and ended with drawings of a past pup of ours (Pippin), so I choose an image of a current pup, Felix, to demonstrate via video the pattern drawing process.įelix is a dark dog–an easy description would be dark grey–not an easy subject to photograph. Starting with the most popular posts-the ones that have been viewed, shared, and commented on the most-this is now the second installment of the “Update Series.”
For more information about the Fabric Collage Master Class, click the button below.Īs promised, I’m selecting some of the most popular posts from my blog and updating them with video-something that elaborates on or shows more detail in the fabric collage technique. Much of this information is gathered, reorganized and expanded upon in the Master Class. If so, know that you’re not imagining things. The information may also be reminiscent of information found in our online learning resource the Fabric Collage Master Class. You may have read some of these posts before, so this will be a refresher for you. The Topography of the Fabric Collage Face Whether it is a human face or a giraffe’s snout, understanding the underlying 3-dimensional “topography” of a face, or any part of your subject, can certainly help in creating a 2-dimensional pattern to base the rest of your fabric collage on. This post may help you to see your subject from a slightly different point of view. While today’s primary #3 post is all about “ Making a Pattern for Fabric Collage,” I also want to draw your attention to another past post: “ The Topography of the Fabric Collage Face,” published on January 30, 2021. Posts will include #1 choosing your photo ( posted on July 7), #2 choosing a subject ( posted on July 9) to eventually hanging your fabric collage on the wall (planned delivery on August 27), we’ll cover each step with at least one previous post. At the start of this series, there were eight weeks left of summer (not by the calendar but by the very subjective lens of the Maine climate!) so each week we’ll deliver two posts for a total of sixteen in the series-unless we re-discover more relevant posts along the way! Pulling from six and a half years of fabric collage blog posts as reference material, we are delving into that content to give you a summertime lineup that you can follow along with.
We hope you’ll participate from wherever you are in the world-no travel involved! We’re calling it “Fabric Collage By the Numbers,” addressing all the steps of creating a fabric collage quilt. This post continues our DIY Summer Collage Camp-or a Winter Collage Camp for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere. Making a Pattern for Fabric Collage: Fabric Collage By the Numbers #3
