Barb's Spring Mega Swap Goodies :)

Jules, I have been thinking about this same thing for the last few days...where are all the goodies, swappers?

[Lin Neiswender]

Camille, can you repost in this forum...

[Camille]

Duh! Why did I not think of that, Lin??? : )

[Camille]

OMG! Extremely Cool treasures, Barb! You sure did get a lot of butterflies! How cool!

All those materials and techniques and wonderful imagery to inspire and delight!

[Lin Neiswender]

Very nice display Barb. Did you notice the poem on the green leaf of Cherry's ATC?

[Camille]

Cat, those textural triangles...are they all stitched to?

[cat stone]

Camille, the triangles are made out of Angelina fibres. These are heat-bondable polyester fibres that you can iron together to make a 'metallic-looking' fabric out of. I cut the triangles out of the fabric and attached them with a dab of glue stick, then stitched around the edges with gold thread.

Cat, I am so impressed with all the stitched art from you. It is all so beautiful and exquisitely finished. Kudos!

Thanks Lin, what a lovely thing to say!

[WildCherry]

I'm with Lin on that, Cat! Its something I could never imagine doing so I'm totally wowed that anyone else does!

[Camille]

Gosh Cat, The fabric world must be very exciting! This is another sublime ATC!

This cool fiber stuff looks like something that would really appeal to my sense of "stapling" textures and patterns...however, I fear breathing in fibers...so I don't know if this would be a way for me to go...You are blessed with a sacred talent!
Thank you for sharing the link! It must be so much fun to play with those fibers!

Barb, I love your treasures and really "get it" about how they make you smile.

Our "Swap Mom" did a wonderful job of blending colors together, didn't she? I see yours as having much more "white" yet still so much vivid colors that match. The way you've put them together also brings out all these similarities.

I wonder if we asked everyone in the swap what they thought of as "colors" when they thought of Spring, how many would be identical. Great minds think alike...
