Hey guys, I just wanted to check in with everyone! See how everyone is doing? I wanted to share some things! I’m working on a new quilt pattern that will be on my Patreon. I need some feedback though. I was going to do the pattern as part of the monthly pattern download, but I also wanted to make it so there is a free one available. What are your ideas on it?
Also… LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!
You heard that right! Or maybe, you read that right! Either way…
This is the project I’ll be giving away exclusively on Patreon! It’s an 11 by 14 inch canvas collaged with printed fabric and paper. The piece isn’t quite finished, but hopefully by the end of the week, I’ll have it up on Patreon with the rules for entry. I’m not sure if it will be a random drawing, or perhaps a naming contest.
First Tutorial on using CorelDraw to do some fun photo collage! Sorry for the poor audio. I’m still waiting on my new mic to come! Hopefully it will b here soon! Let me know what you guys think!
You heard that right!!! I’m starting a Patreon Channel! It will be a mix of tutorial videos, live crafting classes, sewing, quilting, embroidery, and art forms of all sorts! The different tiers are set up, and you can check them out here!
Along with Patreon, I’ll be adding to my Youtube Channel!
The studio de Eric has been in full swing… Well, trying to be in full swing. I’m still taking time for small existential breakdowns. Trying to keep busy, and focus on making some art! I’ve been digging through all of my half finished projects, and trying to do something with them! I’ve even been quilting! I have a quilt top finished, and hopefully I’ll start quilting it tonight! I’ve decided to give you guys a teaser of some of the projects currently on the slab. Keep in mind, these are not completed pieces, so they will look quite a bit different by the time I finish them!

It’s using a neural network to search for patterns in images. It takes your main image and searches then overlays it with the patterns from your send image. For the main image for this post: it stared as a picture of one of my quilts. Then, it got overlaid with an image of some roving for an art yarn I plan on spinning. If you look, you can see the fibers and hunks of silk printed onto the original image.
It really is quite the trip. I’ve been playing around with images of my textile work, layered with images of other textile pieces. If you want to see all of the images before and after the filter, check out my Deep Dream page on Deep Dream Generator.

Some of these have been done for a while, I just never found the time to post them. Finally now that I have time, I figured I might as well show them off! Most of the images came from two of my favorite people: Art and Photos from Beau Brokop, and photos from Cayton Cox. I just adore both of them! They are insanely talented, and I love working with both of them. This is part of the photo printing class I am teaching at The Textile Center of Minnesota this summer! I cannot wait to see what everyone makes!
And no, these are not all of them; some are at Promise You Art House in Highland.

I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be teaching this fabric and photo printing class at The Textile Center of Minnesota! I’ll be there Wednesday August 5th for the class! I’m super excited! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my classes rescheduled for that week that were supposed to take place this month at The Weavers Guild of Minnesota. I’ll post the class link as soon as I have it!
