Cyanotype Presentation Version 1.2
Hello friends. I would like to share with you a slide presentation and some links to help you learn how to create cyanotypes on fabric (or paper, if you prefer). I have presented this information for several groups of quilters, and we always come up with more fun ideas while we’re talking. I encourage you to explore on your own, and please share the results!

Sketchbook 2012: No Trespassing Quilt

No Trespassing, mixed media collage sketch, 2012 by Sarah Atlee
Like the Millennium Quilt series, I made this drawing while my mother was recovering from surgery. I thought it would be interesting to create a geometric composition based on a (blurry) photograph. Abstraction through pixellation, although the original photograph is the digital media, whereas the drawing below is analog.
Fijian, jiving, and scheme are cool words.

I had so much fun with my Millennium Quilt series that I raced right into this quilt concept for a friend's impending baby.

I began cutting and piecing not long after finishing the sketch, though it was almost another year before I completed the quilt proper.
At one point, I was so enamored with the finished sections of the quilt that I decided to turn one of them back into 2-dimensional art. I'll post pictures of that piece next week.
Here are pictures of the near-completed quilt in my studio (I just love the morning light in here):

Update: See the portion of this quilt that became a painting.
Sketchbook 2013: Grids
Three selections on the Grid theme from my 2013 sketchbook.
Sketchbook cover, mixed media and found paper collage
Polka Dot Grid, ink on paper
Photo collage, one-inch photo cutouts and found objects
This last one is a product of a photo reference purge in my Oklahoma City studio. I chose my favorite photos, then chose my favorite square inch from each of those.
Expect more sketchbook selections here on the Blog, and later, up in the Images section of the site.
