Cornucopia


I'd been wanting to try to do some sublimation printing on tile.  When I needed to come up with a Thanksgiving themed work of art for Indie Artisans' current online handmade collection, I had just the painting in mind.  I dug through my original artwork for a detailed watercolor of a cornucopia overflowing with autumn harvest fruits and vegetables.  From my photo of the original I created a transfer in the dimensions that I had decided upon.  I laid out nine 4" square tumbled stone tiles, all of which have pitting and color variations which make them very desirable.  I prepared the tiles for accepting the transfer and heat pressed the whole lot.  Voila!  A finish coat of protective clear acrylic, and a simple square wood frame and my wall art was ready to submit.  Find Cornucopia  and lots more irresistible Thanksgiving themed handmade goods at  http://www.indieartisans.com/
