Diane's Workshop

is the painting a “painting” or a picture of a painting?

The flower painting in question is a painting I did but the image upload is from a card I had made from the painting.

I just added a few more of my paintings. The frog painting is my first painting.
The barn painting, my third painting, is just a zoom in of just one area of the painting, it is a large painting so I was no able to scan much of it.

your first? you have a natural gift then!!

I have seen a transfer process for photographs … it dissolves the paper backing and then the image is transferred onto the object.
Or perhaps you make a little frame on the box which holds the picture down…

I’m not much of a woodworker – or a painter so I don’t think I’m of much help to you.

Thanks. I edited my first message, opps if I said it was my first, the flower painting is my second painting, the frog one is my first.

Very nice! I think the inkle weaving looks great.

Thanks, it looks a bit better uploaded then seeing it in person but it still looks good when I’m wearing it. I plan on making the next once about an inch longer, that’s pretty good to get it that close just by guessing who long to make it before getting it off the loom. I’m happy with it for my first project.

I’m smiling because I’d be interested in the end results too especially if I was the one that made the loom. It must be nice for you to see what I have done with it.

Great job—that’s a lot of work. And yes, it’s nice to see the loom and then the product from it.
Nicely done.

Thanks Debbie.

I uploaded many of the things I’ve made to photobucket for viewing. I now have the link at the bottom of all messages. I made a slideshow of all the belts I’ve made and another one of my paintings minus the one I am working on. I put the slide shows on this site page: http://www.geocities.com/fblooms/profile2.html

Hi Diane,

I am just now getting around to looking at your “shop” posting. These are gorgeous paintings. You are truly a gifted artist. Being somewhat “artistically challenged” I really admire and respect the gift of this talent to others.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

With regard to putting the art work on wood, you can always paint directly on the wood but I’m sure you’ve thought of that. Artwork can be applied to wood and then covered with a product called Decopodge – that may not be the correct spelling. There is also a product called Thinwood that is thin enough to run through most printers.
