I am really fortunate that my husband loves to take photos. Manipulating these photos with design programs gives rise to new ideas. As you can see the design idea may look totally different once the photo has been manipulated. The photo on the left shows the original photo (on the right) after it has been manipulated to a more cloth like design.At the moment I am playing with a program called PhotoFiltre. I really like the colours obtained by using the Filter, Colour, Night Effect. If the colours are strong I use artistic or visual effects to soften the colours. Then I usually deform twirl and then deform ripple a couple of times. Sometimes there are areas I really like and I will copy these areas and paste to a new image and use these pieces to create my final idea.
To create the indigo ikat jacket idea, I followed the above steps until I liked the look of the fabric and then cut and pasted various pieces to create the jacket.
The last image is a picture where a berry colour has been added in. Inspiration for yet another jacket!

Amazing! The colors are so vibrant. I can't decide which I like best. I'd love to see you follow through with the warp painting and weaving...but you're so busy having fun with this cyber fiber play I don't you'll have time for it this year.
