The Artwork

I am making expressive pet portraits in contemporary textile art. To give that soundbite a bit more meaning let me show you the process.

People send me digital snapshots of their pet(s) like this one of Pixie:

I then import it into a graphics program and manipulate it to make it a fun and artistic expression of the animal's nature. Here is my favorite of the ones I made of Pixie:
I then print out the image on specially treated fabric, piece borders to it and and quilt it to enhance the design and give it more character.
The finished size of Pixie's portrait is 10" x 10".

Special thanks to ChesireKat56 for the picture of Pixie.
