“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.
