Photos for Quilting Projects
Quilt making is an old pastime, continually being updated with modern techniques. Today quilting is more popular than ever. Go to any fabric store and you will see small pieces of cloth bundled, ready to go.
Why not add a little scanner photography to your next "story in cloth"?
Yes, you can print photos on cloth. I had some questions about inks when printing on cloth, so I asked expert quilter
Jeannie Spears.
She responded:
"Based on my testing for Quilter's Newsletter, we recommend using dye-based inks on pretreated fabrics for items that will be washed, and pigment inks for items that will be displayed.
Pigment inks will rub off the surface in washing, since they do not penetrate the fibers. Also, it is not a good idea to try to change the type of ink a printer uses."
Stained Glass
Another old art form enjoying a huge resurgence is stained glass.
Scanning adds a totally new dimension to creating patterns for stained glass, just ask Sue,
the Stained Glass Lady.
Writer? or Writer-wanna-be?
Are you a professional writer or have high hopes?
Thinking about writing a magazine article or your own book, need pictures? Don't pass on the opportunity for scanography to give a special splash, maybe on the cover!
