These are the next two postcards for members birthdays in my Broadstrokes textile art group.
This first one was the most recent for Jane. As the theme is travel, I sent her on a fantasy travel journey. The background fabric in a vintage style imaginary map. On top I have stitched small squares of fabric collected from various countries around the world.
The second one for Mel who developed a range of work titled Sunday Drives. She would go on day trips in the car around the Brisbane environs, taking photos , sketching and bring these back to her studio for further exploration. So my postcard to her has her figure in the centre surrounded by flowers, sketches, maps, phone camera, a car and a wee cat face as some of her explorations simply led to her backyard and neighbourhood with her Cat , Calico. The ‘compass’ in the top left corner is made from the inside of an envelop as Mel worked on a collage a day using envelops a few years ago as part of our group project.
