From Paper to Fabric

I've had this paper image for a couple of years. As you can see, it's an optical illusion. I love these kinds of images. When I caught school. I always had on up monthly to allow my students to figure out what they were seeing.
I enlarged this one.....
Used a light-box to trace it onto my favorite adhesive....Steam-a-Seam; pressed that onto the wrong side of my fabric choice, then began to cut.
I always cut the inside dead spaces first which makes things go a lot easier.
This is so exciting!!! I can see light at the end of the tunnel!!
Now, as it's turned to the right side, I begin to place & shift the pieces.
This is what I have so far!
Love it!!!!

  3. I love the "image created by an image" drawings and paintings. Dali was a master of painting those types of images. "L'Amour de Peirro" nad and Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire" are my favorite ones.

    I really like it as a face, but I think I'd want to do it with just the tree, too. That's a nicely eerie tree! Thanks for sharing some of what you do to make it.
