Fabric Postcard

Fabric Postcard

I am quite enjoying this idea,as its a small project to work on ,similar to the quilt squares,but more useful to give as a prezzy or send to a friend,this ones not good enough to send through the post as it has embellishments on,would have to go into an envelope,I have to keep that in mind when i create my future ones,but the fabric would still get soiled through the post,I have seen in the US that they do sell plastic envies to send these,have to do a search to see if we do in the UK.

This is felt backed,with my own dye'd fabrics using cotton and Organza,the bird is a dye'd babywipe onto felt,stamped into with Tim Holtz Distress ink pad.Left hand corner is my attempt at a birds nest lol.
I have fixed it onto a normal postcard for backing.

I am completely addicted to working with fabrics,I cant seem to get off the merry go round lol,one thing leads to another !Do i want to get off ? Noooooooo I,m just loving it,I never thought in a million years i would be doing this sort of art,but always admired people who do.

I was inspired to create this postcard from some I saw in Craft Stamper,I,m not sure if they were fabric,dont think so,it just took me back to the days when I loved to collect the Victorian silk postcards,so heres my little effort !

The bird is my new stamp i bought in Blade Runner when we had our meetup,it was actually in a heart design,I cut it out for this,then sewed onto the fabric pieces,then glazed over to protect it.
I stamped the word Hope onto it,hoping my postcard gets to its destination in one piece lol,saying that i would proberly put in an envelope anyway !
