Art on a Pillow

Art doesn't have to be confined to a frame. You can place images of your artwork on cotton or silk fabric with your ink jet printer. Then sew the fabric into a pillow, throw, tee-shirt, or another fabric item.

First scan your artwork, or upload a photograph of your artwork to your computer. Use the instructions in chapter four of The Painter's Guide to Photoshop to crop and make other adjustments to the image.

Then print the image onto fabric paper. Jacquard makes silk and cotton fabrics that are mounted on backing paper that runs through your printer. See the Jacquard website or check with an art supplier like Blick Studio.
