and

Collage for Printing Basics

assemble scraps

glue onto substrate. I like painted interfacing best. See favorite products for link.

Glue down with gel medium. It doesn't wrinkle papers.

Allow to dry and apply InkAid. Another favorite product. It creates a longer lasting and clear result. This shows Golden Digital Grounds, now discontinued, but were made by InkAid.

I used one coat of white which slightly mutes the colors.

I might use a black and white image as I have colors on my collage. But you can use any image as long as it's somewhat strong.

detail of result using a strongly saturated image. See the collage bits in background.

 Full image. Good Luck!!

Icy inspiratons

 Sometimes I wander

Through the woods

near lakes and streams

watching

to see what catches my eye

to see what natural joys

will enter my heart

 

bidden but never expected

it never seizes to surprise 

and amaze

I bring those stimulating muses

returning

to my studio

to show up again

in artful inspirations

FANTASTIC FIBERS 2025

 Lovely to be accepted into Fantastic Fibers 2025!

Beyond the Abby Window

 

 

 

Digital Fiber

Materials- recycled book pages, artist printed digital silk organza, scrim, pearl cotton, stitched text, hand stitching.

Techniques- manipulated artist imagery and inkjet printed by artist on digital ready materials.

A divided photograph, printed on old book pages, fractures the view while the same image, printed on digital silk organza, floats above creating an almost 3-D effect. A collage of white silk organza with scrim and tissue lifts creates a surround.  Machine and hand stitched.

Text- The old walls glisten with age

setting off a single arched window,

shimmering a golden radiance

from the sunlit vista beyond.

The distance rumble of ocean waves,

fill the nearly empty room,

echoing from the bay below.

Catching smells of damp salty air,

I felt transported across the ages

to when Iona Abby was first used.

There’s a certain peace within

as if the prayers of so many, so long ago,

still reverberated, bound in its walls,

captured in stone for me and

anyone else who cares to listen.

 

Exhibit is March 18th to May 3rd, 2025 at the Yeiser Art Center, KY

 Online Workshop!  Fibre Arts Take Two  

 September 2025! Sign on your interest now and be alerted when it goes live!

 

Expand your vision of a digital print. This approach to digital printing has the capacity to produce unique and original results.

https://www.fibreartstaketwo.com/courses/wenredmond 

One of the most delightful aspects of digital printing is making your own surfaces to print with. We’ll create backgrounds, photographs for sneaky layering and printing surfaces, touch on simple transfers and collage.   

            Participants will learn to create distinctive and customized printing substrates using fabrics, art papers, interfacing, mediums and other created materials. The types of substrates that can be used are nearly limitless!

Participants will combine their photography with unusual substrates viva sneaky layering techniques and other photo blending app’s.

            Participants will be introduced to inkjet printing with digital grounds, ideas for mixing it up and a variety of ideas for presenting your work. Never before have there been so many opportunities to express yourself digitally! 

 

                

A wonderful Experience!

Featured on The Quilt Show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson 2025!

 

Excited to share I made an appearance on The Quilt Show, #3602, Jan 19 2025!

“On the next Quilt Show, Wen Redmond takes her art to the next level with her experimentation in fiber, mixed media, and photography—pushing creative boundaries in ways you've never seen before. 

 

 

Wen says, "I make art, but then my art makes me." You won’t want to miss this. She’s even discovered how to make her images holographic, and now she’s ready to show you how. Plus, see how We adds texture to her images using products like molding paste and Ink Aid—it's something we couldn't believe until we saw it ourselves!”
