01/30/2006: "a postcard challenge"
i joined a fabric postcard challenge and just squeaked in my entry for january.
the project is called 6x4 Lives and is described as: "The idea is to use the fabric postcard format as a journal. The challenge is to produce a fiber postcard once a month that records what you have been exploring, doing, or thinking about. The format can be used to explore telling stories visually, experimenting with techniques or exploring new ones, or involve taking up design challenges such as experiments with colour and composition. This is not swap challenge, but a personal challenge to share with others. The postcard can be made using any textile technique and measure 6 x 4 inches." you can see the other entries at flickr - 6x4 Lives Group
"sat on by a gloomy" is my first fabric postcard and my entry for january. going back through my posts, this seemed like the perfect thing to sum up what january has been like. i used only scraps from the sewing room floor and gave myself only 15 minutes - another january theme of throwing things together from what you have and hoping that it works. collaging with fabric is actually a lot of fun....
