Travelling Art Book
I've just made this little art book with 12 blank pages inside. It's going to be sent from artist to artist and each person will decorate a page. It might be a while before it comes back, if it ever does!

Master-board Designs
I have been using the master-board technique for a while to make postcards and ATCs but I only recently discovered what it's called!
The series of cards is all made from one master-board design that has been cut into pieces.
Here I started with some fabric scraps and Gelli printed them with acrylics before adding lino prints.
Next I used free machine embroidery to outline and define the shapes.
I then cut them to the right sizes and satin stitched the edges.
ATCs
Dressmakers house ATC |
Village general store |
Milliners |
This ATC is for an Alice in Wonderland swap. I think she is one of the most ugly things I have made. Hopefully she'll give my partner a laugh!
