Do you know TAP? I'm sharing today's post for my friend Lesley Riley who invented this amazing product to transfer artwork or photos onto multiple surfaces. She has a cool new online class about TAP that will bring your mixed media art into another dimension.
I can't wait to mix my artwork with fabric and my free motion sewing. As shown in the top photo, you can even draw, marker, and PAINT on the TAP paper and transfer those images! I am having a ton of fun experimenting and made a print of my very favorite piece of art onto fabric and combined it with some of my favorite colorful designer fabrics.
...the print transfer on white muslin...
...can't wait to quilt this little treasure.
You can learn more about this cool product in Lesley's new class that is a true mixed media art adventure. You can even WIN a spot in Lesley's class by leaving a comment here on my blog or the blogs of my other art friends listed below. Let's get TAPPING!!

TAP would quickly be used in my art journals. I have heard of it and would love to learn more in a class!
ReplyDeleteI love printing on fabric and have used various things over the years but have never heard of TAP. It would be a great way to incorporate my art into a quilt. I'm currently working on making quilts for the grandchildren and would love to preserve their artwork in a quilt for them.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh... This is sooo cool!!!! I would actually take my grandaughter's art and turn it into Totes! Wouldn't that be cute? Or maybe make them their own artful aprons using their own art for when they're Arting at Gramma's!

You do gorgeous work. I'm super impressed. And this class sounds like it's just what I need to take my art quilts to the next level.
ReplyDeleteTransfers have been a mystery to me but I'd like to transfer an image on to a mixed media piece that is waiting for one-but I couldn't understand the instructions in the (written)tutorial. It would be fun to make personalized cosmetic bags too I think.
ReplyDeleteI have seen people scan actual items (feathers, buttons....) I would use it as a part of a collage or as a background with lettering or a quote on top. Sounds like a fun product.
ReplyDeleteWow! TAP looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win a seat in this class...have been wanting to try this for a long time now, would love to transfer some of my digital designs.
ReplyDeleteI love TAP, and I would use it in my journal and art work. Ta
ReplyDeleteI have never used it but would love to, I would repair my son's little blankie with some gorgeous cutesy panels and leave it ready for his child - it is in tatters but as he is grown up its time to pass on a refurb hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanne for the chance!! I would love to try TAP with my quilting!! You are such an inspiration!!!
