This is the first time I have put a postcard through the post 'naked'. I hope they reach their destination with no mishaps.
The cards are my attempt at a technique perfected by Carol of Textile Tales. Carol is writing an article on this technique in the first issue of Fibre&Stitch, definitely not to be missed.
Unfortunately the camera hasn't caught the sheen on the cards.This is a close up where you can see the shine on the surface slightly better.

OOh they look gorgeous, love the close up texture
I love the strength of colour, they are fab. Well done.
These are great I love ths shine to this. It almost looks stitched.
Love this effect can't wait to see how it's done.
So wonderful!!!!
Gorgeous Lynda!
You really have excelled yourself here Lynda. I'm sure Carol loves it.
Lynda, these are just beautiful! I'd love to know more about how you did them - they are very elegant.
They're gorgeous Lynda...I can't wait to read that article and learn how this is done.
These are just wonderful. Love the warm, rich colors. Can't wait to learn the technique.
These are just stunning - can't wait for the article!
Beautiful!
The picture looks great - but the card in person is WONDERFUL!! It arrived safely and I'm very impressed with the colour, texture and the perfect hand stitched detail. Thank you :)
Did you make me curious about the article!! this looks great!!
Lovely colours Lynda.
Your cards will arrive safely. I have sent many many cards with no problems.
Those are lovely. When you say you posted them naked I guess that means without an envelope...how did you attach the stamp? ( or pay the postage? )
You are lucky that you have never lost anything in the post. I sent a collection of stuff in a poster bag to Perth -Australia and it never turned up...really disappointing. I resent another and that did arrive. Just bad luck I guess.
Just gorgeous Lynda - I reckon we will all be making postcards using this technique, come September!
These are gorgeous Lynda! I am the lucky person who received Carol's padfolio made with this technique and it's yummmmmmmmy!!!!
AWESOME!!! And colors are really gorgeous!
Beautiful! love the texture! So glad you found my blog so I could find yours :)!! namaste Elis.
