Self designed Toile - Selbst entworfene Toile








This weekend I gave a workshop for a very nice lady of Vienna and we worked with image transfers. After she left I had the idea of printing a toile with my own motives.

This was real fun. If you look at the picture I have used photos of all this: my farm, the landscape you see through the kitchen window, my mother and uncle, one grandson, some textile works of mine, our old dog, a terrace decoration, mixed up with some Dover archives illustrations.

I did it so that the rapports could be used for a print, one gets into the next one. This was fun to do too.

I did it in black and in blue. All with Photoshop. I will use it for small pieces of fabric.

Dieses Wochenende kam eine sehr nette Wienerin zu mir zu einem privat Workshop und wir arbeiteten - unter Anderem - mit Bildertransfers. Da kam mir die Idee, selber Toile zu drucken und Nachmittag habe ich daran gearbeitet.

Es war sehr lustig. Wenn man das Foto anschaut, habe ich Folgendes verwendet: ein Foto von unserem Bauernhof, die Landschaft, die man durch das Küchenfenster sieht, Familienmitglieder, unser ehemaliger Hund, einige Texilwerke von mir und Illustrationen von den Dover Archives.

Ich schaute, daß die Motive als Rapport ineinander gehen, so daß man sie für einen Druck verwenden kann. Das war auch eine lustige Beschäftigung.

Ich habe sie mit Photoshop in schwarz und blau gemacht. Damit möchte ich kleine Stoffstücke bedrucken.

  11. In Paris habe ich mir Toile de Jouy
    Stoff gekauft, weil ich ihn so liebe. Doch wozu? Man kann ihn auch selbst machen, auf die Idee muß man kommen! Ich bin begeistert!
    Der Stoff gefällt mir sehr gut.
    Ich werde auch versuchen einen zu entwerfen, es kommt auf meine Projektliste.
