New Use of Print Image

Rising-Roomers-1300

It was time to get a new curtain for our master bedroom but nothing “normal” captured the imagination. Then I came across one of Anne’s new prints and thought, “That’s it.” Shown above, the piece is called Rising Rumors, and is 10 x 20 inches. (Click on each of these photos for a larger view.)

Curtain-1-1300

We went to the fabric store and picked out a piece of fairly dark and dense upholstery material. After some careful measuring and cutting, I pinned the pieces up on the studio wall and went to work with fabric paint.

Curtain-2-1300

None of these photos show the nuance and the printmaking effect I was trying to duplicate from Anne’s original, which I had nearby as reference. In the end Anne added some of her swirly calligraphy that hints at some unknown wording.

Curtain-3-1300

Here’s the final result, sewn together by Anne and hung on a newly installed iron rod. The ceiling beams, too, are a new addition. It’s all part of an ever-evolving piece of artwork called “home.” And another use for the wonderful images that Anne comes up with in her craft.

Due to some glitch, some Blank Slate subscribers missed the last post. It’s another legacy teaching from my recently deceased mother. It’s here.

    I love the touch of art as a covering for a window. What a creative mind!

    All the very best for the new Show..how I would love to see it in ‘the flesh’ – alas have to settle for the non tangible.
    The wall curtain’s effect suggests that a ‘wall tapestry piece’ may be next possible outcome from the ever creating Hyatt/Anne studio?
    The book looks tempting too – will explore via Amazon.
