Fabric 'n fiber Postcards: Day 21
Still following in Angelina mode,is this sunprinted fabric embellished with Angelina fibres and silver quilting.
The fabric was one of several sunprinted fabrics I did a while back using pebeo Setacolour Soleil transparent paints on a natural coloured Homespun.
Fronds of fern from the garden were used for the negative effect,and because the day was windy,the leaves were anchored with tulle ,which,in parts left a faint echo pattern.
One of my favourite(read very easy to use) metallic silver threads was used for the quilting,and to further secure the Angelina, before the card travelled overseas.
I also used the silver to stitch one quarter inch inside the raw edges,which I then neatened with a wavy-edged rotary cutter

I really like this one a lot. I like sunprints. Yesterday's was a good one, too.
Beautiful colours Maureen. Will definitely try anchoring with tulle next time I try - hopefully this weekend if the weather holds -autumn is fast approaching!!!!
Love this one Mauz :)
