Playing With (Not) a Full Deck

In my previous post, I showed some progress on Artist Trading Cards that I was making to exchange with fellow guild members at our annual picnic tonight. Here they are completed...



I cut Peltex into two 8 1/2 x 11 inch pieces and used them as a base for fusing some snippets of batik fabrics (all left over from my Jane Stickle quilt), and then I covered the whole thing with white tulle, and then couched fun yarns (some of which were given to me by friends) on top of the whole sheet. Here's what one of the sheets looked like before cutting down into the smaller ATC size...


I have a couple of strips left over, so I may steal an idea from my friend Susan's granddaughter and make them into bookmarks.


I can't wait to exchange my ATCs and see what the others look like!

Hittig the LIKE button- those are just a lot of fun, and a great home for all those yarns and things we have in the sewing room.
