More postcards....

The other group I was in for this round of Postmark'd Art was Art Deco. I based mine on the lightshades in Unilever House in London. Looks simple but it took ages and ages to do them!

Not showing all 10 as thet are all similar just with a different placement of the colours. For the address side I used some vintage fabric (1970) which were based on Art Deco design.

I have sent off the Recycled group for Postmark'art. My view of recycling was to use waste. I needle felted silk throwsters(the ultimate waste) onto samples (bad ones) from a dye workshop about 4 years ago. Then I began running out of throwsters so used some wool left over from a scrumbling class, silk tops from a silk paper making workshop, plus the actual silk paper made of sari silk. Then I discovered the base fabric was twisting so needle felted them to old felt my mother used when she was crafting about 20years ago! Next came pelmet vilene left over from a vessel making class and the cardboard address side was cut offs from exhibition labels.(First time I've used cardboard as I usually use fabric for the address side). I used last years Christmas stamps which I got at a reduced price!!
