Question - art print fabrics

Apr 08, 2012 14:37

Hi everyone! Long time no post!
I fell in love with Juliette et Justine's beautiful art print dresses (particularly this one - link) and would like to try making a similar one. But I can't seem to find any art print fabric! There's one on Spoonflower of The Birth of Venus but I don't want a nude lady on my dress. I also tried Etsy but no luck. ( Read more... )

* fabric motif - art, ^ help

After much fiddling around, I found that you search the painting you want, sort the images so only super large size and high resolution show, put it into spoonflower, and play with the size on your computer until you get it right.
I made this one on spoonflower:

Thanks for your response! I just signed up to Spoonflower to try your suggestion. I can't find your design though - it just redirects me to the homepage when I click it. I'll let you know if I'm successful!

My username on there is missquadrille, if that helps

Your link isn't working either. :c I was actually making a print from this painting as well! I'm not so big on art but it really stands to me. *w*

The main problem I have with spoonflower is that the prints end up too small, even when they're as big as allowed.

Apparently The Swing is a highly sexual painting! Lots of imagery. It's gorgeous though!

Completely unrelated, but I love your icon. Jareth is awesome. XD
