Green is Great

I am pretty fond of decorating for St. Patricks Day.  A recent swap with my Yahoo Group - called PostCardMailArt - recently had the theme of "Green is Great".

The fabric postcards I made, were pretty basic... only because I procrastinated until the last minute to make them.

I decided to play around with the embellishment.  You can witness the many attempts to make a Shamrock from ribbon.

The shiny embellishment you see is a plastic bead - from a Dollar Store bracelet, which I cut apart.  I simply glued them into place once the postcard was completed.

I'll share what I receive, at the end. ~ Sheree

Wonky Chic Coops

The idea was to make Wonky Houses.  It isn't that easy for me to purposely lay out a fabric "home" - all crooked and crazy!  I kept finding myself trying to straighten every piece of fabric. I guess it's like coloring outside the lines, and that drives me crazy!

At least I made the windows odd, and a few slight roof oddities.  But basically, I failed at this Wonky House swap.  

I found some novelty chicken and birdhouse fabrics in my stash, fused it, fussy-cut the small images, and added them into the project.  

In the end, these postcards turned into somewhat wonky chicken coops.
