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!!
