Felted fabric postcard
This is my first ever attempt at a fabric postcard. I felted a background, added a fabric vintage image transfer, and then added some textured yarns. Now I must try one in fabric.
Bees wax and UTEE
Indian bees wax collage
The one above is a mix of collage, foil and UTEE
The one above has a faux solder around it of UTEE
I treated myself to a day workshop with Suze Weinberg. Although I had to drive all the way to Burnley in Lancashire it was well worth it. The first thing we made was the bees wax collage, which I loved doing, especially as there was a lovely picture of an Indian that I used. It measures 12" x 5 3/4"
After that we went through various ways of using UTEE. Some I liked, some I didn't, the results are on the green card.

Art quilts
I am in an art quilt swap, and as this was my first attempt at art quilts, I have gone overload and made several. There are several more in the making. The green one was the first one, so I try to keep my first attempts. The turquoise one is for Jean in the swap, and the orange one for a friends birthday which was yesterday
I made them on pelmet vilene, with the backgrounds made from baby wipes, not used on a baby, but to clean my ink pads. The other bits are made from various pieces of fabric paper that I had great fun making. My workroom has under floor heating, so the fabric paper dries very quickly spread out all over the floor.
