Here are my ATCs, I finished them on Friday and then Dave and Fiona drove them to the post office in a frenzy. I remembered to scan them at the last possible minute. It was so much fun making these little cards {2.5 x 3.5}, I was inspired by primitive quilts, those you find at junk shops, those made with fabric scraps from clothes that were too worn, a little torn and very loved.
I used some new, some vintage and some japanese fabric. The birds are made with the same paper as that card, from a very old encyclopedia page about ornithology {the study of birds} and I stitched it by hand.
Thank you Kristin for organizing this! There is a flickr group of these ATCs here.
Thank you for your sweet comments about mother's day! You are so kind!
Aca estan mis ATCs, las termine el viernes y despues Dave y Fiona las llevaron al correo en el auto, pero casi volando. Por suerte, me acorde a ultimo momento de escanearlas. Me encanto hacer estas tarjetitas {el taman~o es aproximadamente 6.30cm x 9cm}. Mi inspiracion fueron esas mantas o 'quilts' primitivas, que se hacian con retazos de ropa que ya no se usaba, un poco rotitas, pero muy queridas. Use telas nuevas, vintage y japonesas. Los pajaritos estan hechos con el mismo papel de aquella tarjeta, de una enciclopedia viejisima, use la pagina de ornitologia {el estudio de los pajaros} y los borde a mano. Gracias Kristin por organizar este intercambio tan lindo! Hay un grupo en Flickr de estas tarjetitas aca.
Muchisimas gracias por los comentarios tan dulces acerca del dia de la madre! Besos!
