I finished the set of bird cards. I made five in total and each one is a little bit different. The drawings of chicks started as these sketeches and the taller bird came from an old drawing in my sketchbook. I used permanent black marker and water colors on white muslin and then cut them out and sewed them to little pieced squares. After a bit of embroidery I used this wonderful stuff – double sided interfacing – to iron them to rag paper. They stick really well and because they aren’t stitched to the card you can still write easily on the other side.
I also finished this little red wool polar bear as a final Valentine’s Day craft. He’s got a pink felt heart on his side and a sleepy expression.
OMG, those are beautiful!!! I had to go and buy them from your shop. I don’t think I can use them as postcards, though, I’m thinking of framing them instead.
Wonderful!
gone so fast 🙁 They are fabulous!
So sorry I missed the cards—beautiful work! They will look lovely framed I’m sure!
I love your cards – especially the watercolor on muslin. Wonderful!
Very lovely, no wonder they were snapped up !
The cards are darling!
Fabulous cards. They’re really great – I love the beautiful colour combinations you have chosen. And that little bear is too sweet!
Your birds are beautiful, it’s simple but yet very eye catching! Love them, specially the first one with long lets for walking in water.
