I made a trip to my LQS (don’t be mad at me Vicki as once again I ended up there and did not go there!). I have been intrigued by other’s creations by printing on fabric. I bought some pre-cute freezer paper sheets and decided to give it a try.
I used my trusty Google Image Finder to locate some vintage images and then printed them on some light green fabric. I gave one of the camera brooches to my friend Brenda. She is a broochy supporter and an awesome photographer, too. It was super easy to do and the longest part was resizing the images for the 2″ center circle on the brooches.
You may see bits of the felt here and there. I was so anxious to photograph them I forgot to cut them a bit.
If you try printing on fabric let me know. I would like to check it out!

They turned out great and I forgive you! I’ve been in no state to go out shopping lately anyway.

I have printed on fabric lots of times. I have only printed photographs of family on fabric. If you check out my blog http://craftydianed.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
and scroll down to the May 21, 2008 entry called Lots of Memories, you will see some ATC’s I made using photos printed on fabric. Also my profile picture is an ATC of myself I made by printing my photo onto fabric.
I really like the things you have made by printing on fabric. Keep up the good work!
Blessings,
Diane
