I originally was planning on having the family portraits I created on Photoshop to be displayed in vintage picture frames I would have found at antique shops. But I had the idea to incorporate them into my installation piece. I want to have a couch when I'm done with it, and I had the idea to take my pieces I made and turn them into decorative pillows for the couch.
I looked up ways on how to take an image and transfer it to fabric. I used gel matte and scrap fabric I had and I tried it twice. Once with the gel matte only on the paper, and another time with it on the fabric and paper. The second worked better.
I bought white fabric and transfer the images, through the transfer some on the image came off but I like it. It feels more like a vintage flair and distressed, more worn. I'm considering tea staining the pillows. But I like how they've turned out. I'm waiting to get stuffing for the pillows.
I've started creating part of my grandparents kitchen. I've done counters and cupboards so far. It was extremely hard because the paint was not sticking or moving well on the wallpaper. I'm going to be making a refridgerator next for this and add other items to it but I'm not sure what yet. I'm pinning each piece to the background so it doesn't destroy the work I've done. It looks a lot different hung up in comparison to the floor.
After this piece is done I will make on that will be the other side of the wall but I don't know if I want to continue with the kitchen or do a different room.
Over long weekend I plan to do a lot of work. I have homes I plan on going in to take pictures of their dinning room tables and kitchen tables. I also will be getting an old tv if it is still in my basement to use for a video I am planning on making.
