Brynwood Needleworks - October 2024 ATC |
Well, it's already dark as I write this, so I won't go back and rephotograph this under artificial light, but...
I can see that I should have tidied up my background to remove the stray threads from my paisley board. sigh
I got to spend my entire day playing in the studio! This is the artist trading card design I came up with for the "Mixed Media" October challenge for my sister's group. If you're interesting in joining her Facebook group Handmade Treasures by Jan, you can click HERE to participate.
There are nine other participants this month, so I made one for each, plus one for my collection. The sun was shining, and I had so much fun making these. Each matching card features an acorn fairy image printed on silk fabric, part of an antique doily, and an acorn/oak leaf charm. The back of each one has a signature space so the recipient will know who created it, the ATC group, and how many were created (1/10, etc.) They'll all mail to their new homes today.
Love the Acorn Fairy! Great job.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteThanks, hon. I sure had fun!

Goodness, it would be so hard to narrow it down to one design... "mixed media"... that leaves the field wide open! 🤪 But, I guess there is always next month to express yourself another way 😄 Your cards are lovely, and it must be fun to see how each participant expresses their creativity!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteI agree! I just decided to "stay in my lane", and stick to what I know best. My sister and many of her followers are painters or work with paper. I've done some of that, but always return to my needlework. I'm looking forward to nest month's prompt.
