“Note for a Friend”
I recently made a fabric postcard, and really enjoyed it. Not only was it fast-ish, but I found that I needed to work slightly differently with the smaller size. Which made it challenging enough to be intriguing, even on such a small scale.
So, I started on a small 5 x 7 piece called “Note for a Friend.”

I tried mounting it on one of those floating frames. (The white textured mat/border is really crinkled paper underneath.) I messed it up, but I think something along these lines has merit. I’ll try again.
Working at such a small scale means that every fabric, shape, and color selection is very important. (Thus, requiring lots of trial and error!) A little hand stitching adds texture and dimension and doesn’t require a lot of time. I love the effect!
More to come, I think!

P.S. Once I get this properly mounted, it will be for sale.
