PROMPT - #14 – Use markers.
 |
| Poinsettia Post Cards |
I
tried playing with markers and alcohol on cotton but didn't care for
what I was getting.
Then
I thought maybe silk would be the way to go.
I
drew a poinsettia on the silk and liked just the way it was without
adding the alcohol. The ink spread just a little adding some
interest.
I
embossed the Christmas wishes, embroidered french knots in the centres and did a little straight line
quilting.

I needed more post cards for a coming sale, I now have five more.

ART PROMPT - #15 – Use Lutradur
HERE'S
MY “ART PROMPT” PLAN
One
prompt, one project (taking as long as required to finish the
project)
It's
OK to finish or use a previously started project (UFO) as a starting
point.
Make
something creative.
Use
any Media.
Blog
about the project.
Pick
another prompt once the project is done.
ohhhhhh these are so quaint and pretty
ReplyDeleteSo neat Terry. I am giving a mini workshop on postcards for our guild's christmas workshops. Can I try this and then show it to my guild? Did you take a piece of 4 X 6 silk and draw your poinsetta? I love postcards! I'm not good with drawing by I can always stamp!
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with that. And yes I drew the poinsettia on a piece of silk and then trimmed it to size. I like making postcards too, it's fast and a lot of fun. Enjoy your workshop.
Deletethose are really pretty! I like your prompt project
