Last week I got a copy of Sarah Lawrence's new (and sadly last) book, '
Stitch, Cloth, Shimmer & Shine'. As a librarian I like to start a book at the beginning and read through to the end but with this one as I flipped through the pages I was immediately inspired by so many of the pictures that I jumped right in in the middle and made this fabric postcard using the ideas in the book. I punched and embossed the metal, coloured it with promarkers and made the red beads with wire all as described in the book. I used sprays and stencils to colour the black background and then added hand stitching. The book is wonderful and I highly recommend it.
