Received this latest piece of fabric ATC from Linda Higgins of the UK. She used a technique which she has not done before - ironing fresh flowers from her garden onto bondawebb and then ironing a sheer voil over the top and adding stitching. I must say the flowers turned up clearer in the photo, the sheer voil on top adds a mysterious, dreamy effect to the piece. A very co-ordinated felted butterfly is sewn on top with metallic thread!
I really love the reddish paper used for the qipao of the junk mail doll I made for Linda Marino, and hope to try to squeeze out enough of it to make another dress, but it was not quite sufficient, so I went into the red border, and voila, quite a nice effect too! I'll keep this one for myself!
These 2 pieces I took the longest to complete, had to keep repainting the fabric to get the colours I wanted, and black is really difficult to control! The effect of the sky at sunset, and the glowing river turned up lovely.
Now, the ATC On Parade exhibition. What we are exhibiting -
This is mine.
The top 3 with tatting, the middle row are dolls and the centre piece is my first button fairy, the last row are 3 of my embroidered flowerscape showing the progression from just French knot flowers to hills with cut flowers and the latest river banks. Joey's ones.
Kristine's ATCs.
And my name plate!

Fox : )
Thanks, Fox! Well, the girls spending time working on ATCs are better than playing on the computer! Another way to keep them occupied.
The ATC Exhibition looks like a wonderful one, and I love your sunset ATC's!
Yes, indeed, a very talented family. Love the photos of the exhibition too. Thanks!
