Altered Photo Artistry
Portraits
Join Beth and Lori, authors of Altered
Photo Artistry as we explore various ways to turn a
snapshot into a "sketch" portrait, print it on
fabric, and enhance it with free-motion stitching
for color and texture.
Begin with a favorite snapshot of a
person or pet, then we'll use Photoshop Elements (CD
in the back of our book Altered Photo Artistry) to
turn the snapshot into a "sketch" portrait worthy of
a fine frame.
No special equipment is necessary,
just a basic camera (film or digital), computer,
inkjet printer, and sewing machine.
Basic sewing (sewing a seam, dropping
the feed dogs, winding a bobbin, and threading the
machine) and computer skills (opening the
application, opening a file and printing from the
document) are helpful.
Prerequisite: Purchase a copy of
Altered Photo Artistry from our website (
www.threadography.net),
your local quilt shop, or Amazon.com, then mail a
photo of your smiling self holding the book to Beth
at
muttonhead@mchsi.com.
