Textile Postcard Series
October 2017
I really enjoy having a continuing project in my artistic life. I began by making a textile postcard each week. My theme was based on the 'stuff' that I have collected and stored for later use.
I was then inspired by Brenda Gael Smith's article in Down Under Textiles magazine, Issue 28 to record this series of work as a blog beginning in October 2017.
My plans are as follows:
*To complete a postcard from textiles each week
Size 4 X 6 inches (approx) or 10 X 15 cm (approx)
*Because I have so many small pieces of textiles hidden/stashed away after years of collecting fabric and making quilts I have decided to use some of these.
* The postcards will have fabric on the front and printed details about this particular card on the reverse side.
* I plan to create a postcard each week beginning this month, October 2017.
* My plan/aim does not reach out to a finishing date. Hopefully twelve months, but who knows when my enthusiasm and the scraps are depleted.
* Wish me well with this project, and the sorting through of scraps from over 30 years of Textile Art practice.
