I had a left over piece of my velvet embellished material so I made it into a small pouch. I made a button for the front and used a piece of embellished cord for the loop. It’s lined with the same material I used on the inside of the padfolio.

This photo shows it opened and is a little truer to the real color.

Here’s a close up of the material.

Here is the last postcard that I made for the Art2Mail #36 exchange group. I was going to embellish the silk squares (black and tan) to the red velvet. I started this process but didn’t like how it was turning out. Since I was running short of time, I fused the squares to the velvet and then stitched a grid with gold metallic thread. I then covered the whole piece with black netting and finished the edge. The close up below shows the true colors a bit better. Now I’ve got to get back to all the other projects on my list. Watch this space!

These two postcards were made from a piece of embellished red velvet. I added brown scrim on the front, then coppery/gold silk fibers embellished from the back. I then put a silk hankie dyed with tea over top and embellished it in. Once that was completed, I free motion stitched over the entire piece. After cutting out the postcards, I had leftover bits which I zigzagged on kind of like inchies. I still have some bits left over so perhaps I’ll add them to something later.

These photos look very blue. There isn’t any blue in them really.

Here’s a close up.
