Textile Postcard Project Week # 29

April 15th - 21st 2018

 
Mauve, reds and blues used as theme colours


I acquired this very thick maroon coloured felt some years ago. It was hand made and dyed in the remote country of Kazakhstan. In my 'stash' of textiles, I found a few scraps left from other works. This has been embroidered with quite a heavy thread which I dyed myself...hence the variance in colour. Sadly the rich purple/maroon colour does not show clearly in my scan of the postcard.
The base fabric of each postcard varies due to different batches of hand dyeing. These last two postcards have been a rather dull brown in colour where as other cards are much brighter in colour.
