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.

Postcards

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!!

Atc's

Sitting at the computer looking for a particular photo.....and avoiding going and finishing 6 ATCs that need to be in the mail tomorrow!!! Can't remember if I showed you the recent ones I had done.

Window on White

My friends janet and Isbel are exhibiting these at a Window on White exhibition. This came about when they both attended a course by India Flint and all the participants decided to stage an exhibition. I am their resident geek which is why i get the photos on my computer. Janet's is "Cascade" and Isbel's is "Felted Frock for a Snow Goddess.

Quiltie 2

Picture of quiltie made for Bec. I know she liked lace so I decided to go for the 'pretty' look. Not sure if she is in to arty type things. I did use some Angelina under the lace - gives it a nice subtle sparkle, don't think it shows up in pic. Also used skeleton leaves on the back, misty fused on again with a little bit of Angelina. Anyway its off in the post this morning so will post a pic on my blog when she receives it.

Great stuff....

Love having the music on here....can I add to it too?

I haven't made my quiltie two sided. Not sure how they would be displayed and to be honest in a swap situation it makes a lot more work. Exceptions being when swapped with friends (thee & me springs to mind)!!

Had a great time in Napier. They are a lovely family unit and they always make me feel welcome. Leila has grown and now has a wee personality.

Now home to looming deadlines for ATC swaps and pc swaps!!!

Additions

I've added the Kemshalls website and also moved the playlist to the bottom of the page. It's not so intrusive as it was I think.
