There is “Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place”. I have the leaves falling and along the base is puzzle pieces. I then put a cute little town on the pieces. I added in some extra fun items like this dog being walked by a UAV…and being chased by a robot owner. There are tons of other things in this coat and I love the results.
So here is a new(ish) material. This is the Deep Forest scuba suede from Joanns and I did the same settings I normally do with 12 power and full speed.
Hard to pick a favorite because they are all terrific. Given my home state, however, I’m going to have to go with the blue suede mountains. Thanks for sharing your inspirational and motivational projects.
NOt sure which I like best, the sunflower or the mountains. That blue seude is neat, too. Terrific work! You are a real inspiration to the forum here and it is clear you have a real GF expertise!
It probably helps that I engrave the fabric when it is still just a cut segment and not sewn into the fuller design. But I user a magnetic whiteboard and ceramic magnets to hold things down. If I print on something that has a lot of fabric then I just swaddle the magnetic whiteboard just like a baby (I think? Idk, never actually swaddled a baby but I think its the same). But it helps well with getting yards of fabric to fit in the machine.
Loving your work as always, I’m with the blue suede crew but all pieces are gorgeous!
I have a question for you, do you ever second guess your plans as you’re in progress? If so how do you deal with this?
I think I get in my own way with this, when I have the courage of my convictions everything turns out well or I learn a lot - but I still don’t actually make quite a bit of the stuff I design.
