Testing testing, ATC testing

After seeing the awesome artist trading cards that appeared a few months ago in the ATC Swap Group with veryberryhandmade, I really wanted to join in the second round!  Yay - I got in!!

I love mini art, always have, so this project was right up my street because these little textile cards are only 2.5" x 3.5".  Did I already mention that I love mini art? 


As luck would have it, I am attending a group of card makers/stampers tomorrow night and I was told that they would be trading ATC's.  So I got my thinking cap on and made these 'testers' which I will give out on Wednesday (if people want them that is - they may not like that they are fabric and not paper -- oh the worry!?).  Regardless, this was great practice for when I make my secret partner his/hers and eventually mail it to him/her in November.  Win win.


As you can see, I made three: two spools of thread and an acorn.  The acorn was a test run for the "Autumn" theme of the ATC Swap Group but I have since decided on another design.  I definitely need to improve my 'drawing in stitches' technique - it is fun to do!!  And of course you already know that I love raw edge applique.  As like many of the new things I try, making these little mini trading cards is quite addictive!!  Oh dear!!

P.S. If anyone still has a wonky house or wonky tree to send me for Wonkyville, please do so this week so you can be entered into the draw!!  

Here is a little wonky tree/bush from Sonia (Fabric and  Flowers) which will fit in the village of Wonkyville perfectly!  Thanks Sonia :)

    For almost 15yrs I worked in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It is a beautiful university town where the streets are lined with oak trees that are hundreds of years old. So you will understand when I tell you that I'm in love with your little acorn.
