All the following postcards (August) were made to sell in a gorgeous shop in Midway, KY.The Damselfy had beautiful handmade items that put mine to shame -- but I had to start somewhere!
This fabric postcard is made from a scrap from my friend Janet's scrap bags (gratefully accepted by me). I mounted it on a green background and stitched around it. The cardstock sticker said it all -- but he/she looks more like a playful wild thing to me!
A mixed media, fabric based postcard. I used to think that the "whole image" had to show but as I looked at the artwork of others, realized that bits and pieces are just as effective, perhaps more so. I first pieced several green pieces and then overlaid the animal images piece and stitched around it and then added decorative stitches and the worded embellishment: We are family.
I love making fabric postcards and experimenting with the decorative stitches on my machines -- I was in a "cool" mood as I pulled scraps from the bag. The mountains are made from a piece of hand dyed fabric I bought at a quilt show in Berea last summer. I love mixing textures -- this piece lends a bit of roughness -- good for a mountain!
