THIRD FABRIC POSTCARD DONE...
I really didn't have any design in mind for the postcard so I began with my quilting meditation and created a four inch square design...
Not great but it did give me an idea which is exactly what this exercise is designed to do. So I began working on my fabric postcard.
First I fussy cut several fabric flowers and arranged them on the background. When I liked the design, I hand appliqued each flower unto the background using a gold metallic thread.
Here's a close-up...
Then I played with the beadwork. After trying several different ways to use beads, I decided that staying in the center of the flowers would work best. After I added the beads, I used the gold thread again to emphasize petals, etc. Here's the result...
And another close-up...
I like this one even better than the other two!
What do you think? Here are the others...
Well, each one has it's own unique design qualities: Landscape, Modern & Applique. Which do you like best?
That's all for today...
Talk with you tomorrow...
