Collage Sheets

[zed]

I've been working on some designs for collage sheets, and have uploaded some samples if anyone's interested in trying them out. They are on this page here: zedster66.wordpress.com/collage-sheets/
These link to the full sized images. The samples are different sizes, you can read a bit more here: feltbyzed.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/collage-sheets.html

I got some printed last week to do laser transfers with gel medium and acrylic paints, I didn't wait long enough before rubbing off the paper on the acrylic one and got the gel medium all over the other so that got ruined too

Those are way cool Zed. What wonderful colors and designs.

I've looked at your links and they look great. Good luck with your Etsy shop.

the patterns are really cool Zed but I am not sure what you do with them. Do people use them for backgrounds on websites or business cards or transfer them to something else like paper or silk?

Thanks, Ann.

The sheets with nine on are the size of ATC cards, the ones a bit smaller are big enough for dominoes, and the smaller ones are the size of bamboo tiles. They're for printing out for use in altered art, collage, journaling, scrapbooking, altered books, transfers, that kind of thing. And yep, they could be used for printing onto fabrics.

I have a spoonflower account and have considered doing patterns for sale there.

After Paula's trip to the Garment district and seeing how expensive that silk was I did a quick look for silk printing and I found one place which will do a sample piece of swatches, which might be nice too.

I have done this with mixed results. Some seem to work better than others. My grandson did a photo on wood transfer that turned out pretty good.

I like the wood ones, too. I know I have lots of spare pieces in my understairs cupboard, I was thinking of looking.
