 Wet felted and then machine stitched. Fabricated into a postcard with stiff interfacing and white muslin on the opposite side. The postcard was made for an exchange and was sent off in the US Mail. |

Cool  It looks shiny, is that an optical illusion? |

It does have silk on the top layer which may be the shiny part.

Very pretty and the colour combo works well.
I hope the postman is kind to your card and handles it carefully!

At one time I was sending lots of these cards. I usually pay more to have them handstamped so they don't go through the machines. I have even sent them overseas and none have been lost or damaged. These exchanges are great fun. You can work in a small size to try out different processes without having to do something big. Then you get a card from someone else for your efforts.

We could do a swap if anyone else is interested.

I could do a mini tutorial on how to make a felt postcard, post it on the blog and then we could see who wants to swap.

sounds great. I wanted to do artists cards at one time but post cards are more practical for sending.

I'll try to get a short tutorial done after I get back from my first Level II Hand and Machine stitch class that starts next Wednesday.

Lovely card. Look forward to the tutorial. I think the swap is a great idea.
