digital photo design 
                                               
For these images, I've used my photographs as basic palettes to create designs and patterns.  Some have a texture effect to them and look like fabric.  Some are pure design using colors and shapes.  Some have visible remnants of the original photograph (leaves, bark, petals) that add to the feel of the piece.

The next pieces were created from a Siberian Iris photo. For Wooly Iris Blanket (below), I softened the fabric effect to give the image a slight blur, as one might see on fleece, and I bordered the finished product in black (click on purchase to view).

If you look closely at Iris Blanket (below), you can see the iris petals in the design.   I added layering techniques to give it the look of a thick quilt.
