6x4 Postcard : January

I decided to get my act together and make a fabric postcard for this interesting journal type project that Sharon started: 6x4 lives. This piece was an accident and started out as an ATC, which you can see ended up cut into 3 pieces and stitched to this card. This month I think I was basically feeling cold (it's f-freaking f-freezing outside!), confused, and like I was going aroung in circles, which explains why this looks the way it does! I get cold just looking at this card... I tried out a little fabric foil on this, and am happy to say that the stuff works. The circle I attached with a bit of floss is cut from an old CD, and was going to be stitched on shi-sha style but I had to give up on that idea. It actually looks better this way I think. Check out the other 6x4's on Flickr. I am in awe of the dragonfly card that Sharon made!

Ooh! Cut up CD?! I love that idea. I have so many ideas for collage, but I'm one of those people that has to take a class first. I have plans to take a fabric collage class at a quilt shop, then a multi-media collage class (more like painting) as soon as their spring semester starts. I want to make some bookmarks for gifts. Like a personalized thing.
