Photoshop Elements 3 Class (PSE3) is Ending

My fellow classmates and I are in the final project phase of the PSE3 class led by instructors Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki, The Pixeladies. It has been a terrific course!

For the final project, I've designed a repeating pattern (below) to print as a long scarf. I'm not sure yet whether to make the scarf myself or have it printed and finished by a vendor. I'm in the process of obtaining fabric samples, color charts, and size and cost information from vendors that will help me decide what company to order from. This will affect whether it will involve full-service or fabric printing only.

I'm very pleased with this design plus amazed with the capability of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023. I like the program so much better than the cloud version of Photoshop.

I haven't mentioned picture editing, but we've done some of that in PSE3 though it isn't a focus of the course because most of the participants are quilters and visual artists.

If you work with a Photoshop product, what kinds of things do you do with it?

Visiting The Hague and Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Paris!

Since late March, I've been planning an international solo trip that included meeting up with friends. The planning is what makes a trip an adventure, and it was definitely fabulous -- now that it is in the rearview mirror -- so to speak. During my two weeks abroad, the sights visited included the: Mauritshuis, a lovely art museum (The Hague, Netherlands) Binnenhof (The Hague, Netherlands) Delft (Netherlands) Kasteel de Haar, a castle (Haarzuilens, Netherlands) Museum Speelklok (Utrecht, Netherlands) Walking Tour of Amsterdam (Netherlands) Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) Dutch Resistance Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) De Oude and Nieuwe Kerks aka old and new churches (Amsterdam, Netherlands) Anne Frank House (Amsterdam, Netherlands) Sainte Chapelle/Conciergerie (Paris, France) Giverny - Monet's residence at one time (outside Paris) Versailles (outside Paris) Musee d'Orsay/VR Event titled 1874 Impressionists First Exhibition...

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas. It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw. There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along. I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges. The fabric also tends to ravel easily. This post also linked to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com .

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014. The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together. Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes. They're fun and useful besides.
