Bearry Fabric Postcard

Click on pic to view details.

I thread painted this one. I discovered that I could put 2 different colored threads onto the same needle. I have 2 spool holders, so that helps. Boy, does it ever "paint" fast and you can use 2 tones of color! Love it.

I added some scruptious 3 toned glass seed beeds (that I bought from Etsy) as berries. I also added bead buttons and eyes.

Purple Wallhanging

This is a wall hanging that I made for my daughter. She wanted a Barbie wall hanging, so this is what I came up with. It is paper pieced, my own pattern, from a picture in a Sears catalogue.

Her face is hand drawn and the skin is highlighted with pencil crayons. Her body and clothes are individually cut and machine appliqued. She has "real" hair and a jewel in her crown. Thread painting and extra glitter accentuate this piece of fiber art. It has a printed card stock backing.

As with all my postcard art, it only requires a basic postage stamp to be mailed.

Butterfly Postcard


I made this butterfly card for my aunt Gloria who is undergoing cancer treatment. Since she lives close by, I took a chance and glued some "jewels" on the butterfly. I used regular white glue, but I wonder if crazy glue would be better. I know that a glue gun doesn't work, since I received a postcard with parts missing due to this technique.

Anyone know what works best?

I also did a bit of thread painting on the butterfly's wing in dark blue. Fun!
