Do you know TAP? I’m sharing today’s post for my friend Lesley Riley who invented this amazing product to transfer artwork or photos onto multiple surfaces. She has a cool new online class about TAP that will bring your mixed media art into another dimension.
I can’t wait to mix my artwork with fabric and my free motion sewing. As shown in the top photo, you can even draw, marker, and PAINT on the TAP paper and transfer those images! I am having a ton of fun experimenting and made a print of my very favorite piece of art onto fabric and combined it with some of my favorite colorful designer fabrics.
You can learn more about this cool product in Lesley’s new class that is a true mixed media art adventure. You can even WIN a spot in Lesley’s class by leaving a comment here on my blog or the blogs of my other art friends listed below. Let’s get TAPPING!!

TAP would quickly be used in my art journals. I have heard of it and would love to learn more in a class!
I love printing on fabric and have used various things over the years but have never heard of TAP. It would be a great way to incorporate my art into a quilt. I'm currently working on making quilts for the grandchildren and would love to preserve their artwork in a quilt for them.
Ohhhh… This is sooo cool!!!! I would actually take my grandaughter's art and turn it into Totes! Wouldn't that be cute? Or maybe make them their own artful aprons using their own art for when they're Arting at Gramma's!
WOW!! this is almost as amazing as YOU! it sure does look like it would be fun and doing it with your art would be pure awesome. heres hoping i have some luck and win. thanks for the chance. love and miss you. xoxo
I have wondered about TAP for a long time. It would be so wonderful to participate in the class and learn first hand about the creative prices with it.
Your art and TAP are the PERFECT combination!
This is such a wonderful idea! Can't wait to try it. Just think about the amazing quilts, table cloths and tote bags we'll all make. Nice for a new baby with Grandmas art welcoming.

I would use TAP on fabric to create journal covers. What a great way to leverage your own art! Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot in Lesley's class.
So since you just taught me to draw, I would do a little girlie dress and then make a pillow for my granddaughters room! I still can't draw butterflies, but my little dresses are stinkin cute" that would be so cool! My granddaughter is Autistic and she loves cuddling with pillows. That's what I would do!

I would use it to transfer my art or writing to fabric, maybe canvas or burlap, and then use my new embroidery skills to embellish the art.
I'd use it to put altered photos on quilts.
