FFAC Final Pieces

OK. I finally finished my pieces for Fiberart For A Cause hosted by Virginia Spiegel and coordinated by Karen Stiehl Osborn.

I mounted the postcards to heavy board backing that had been painted to extend the designs of the postcards. I am pretty happy with the results. The backgrounds were painted with acrylics and details were added with colored pencils and watercolor pencils to add fine details.

Another Poe Card

Here is the second piece I created for the Raven postcard challenge.




The raven is looking down at the man on the ground and the moon is casting a shadow. I used fabric paint for the background. The figure and the raven were FMQ and then painted with shiva paint sticks. The shadow was made with a dye pen. I have to mount to heavy board and send pics to Fiber Art For a Cause.

An Honorable Mention Award!

Cyber Fyber opened on January 8th. Ellen Kochansky juried the CYBER FYBER traded fiber ATCs and fiber Postcards and I received an honorable mention! I am so excited!

Cyber Fyber Round II

I saw a posting by Arlee Barr about Cyber Fyber on the Fiber Arts/Mixed Media website. So I decided to check it out.

Well it turns out that Susan Lenz is hosting an international postcard and ATC swap. You have to look through the postcards or ATC's posted and pick one out you love. Contact Susan by leaving a message on that postcard and send her an email. Once she responds, you get that postcard or ATC and info on sending her one in return. She then marks that postcard as Trade Being Arranged. I picked number 240 and received it yesterday!!


Here it is!

And in return, I sent my going green postcard challenge postcard. I finally finished it because my honey bought me a new sewing machine!!!



The best part is - she's going to exhibit all the postcards and ATC's together in January, 2009 at a gallery in South Carolina. Good luck Susan!!
