WIP - All Beaded Up

I started this piece about a year after mom passed away in 2005, it's cigarette papers layered atop digitally printed cotton fabric and interfacing.  Machine stitched, hand stitched, beaded.

I have a lovely greyish black glass bead that I'm using to outline her shirt and arm.

Bead detail.

Interestingly enough I didn't have any grey threads in my collection, and wanted some for working on this piece so ventured over to JoAnn's and found these lovely shades of grey, in both pearl cotton and cotton floss.

Epson NX415 All in One Printer

Just wanted to give y'all an update I purchased this all in one printer yesterday from Staples ($59) and have been putting it through the paces ever since, hope I'm not wearing out the scannner ;-)

Anyway... it prints fine on transparencies. In order to print on transparencies you need to go into prefernaces and click on glossy photo paper, I also backed mine with a piece of typing paper which may or may not have been overkill?

Just thought everyone would like to know, I'm off to print on tyvek now. The only thing I have against this machine is it doesn't have a rear feed as well, if it did it'd be perfect.
