Toe in the fabric postcard water ...

Yea!!! Those are beautiful! I thought you said you made one. : ) They are addicting once you do one. Look forward to the next swap.

How lovely! If you're running short on indigo, one of those delightful postcards would do as well. :)

Tutu, I love your postcards. I've been in about five postcard exchanges so far. I love making them too.

I think you dived all the way in....not just sticking your toe in! They are wonderful! Thanks for posting the pictures. KJ

Tutu, they're *wonderful*! All of them. But I especially like Africa Blob -- it just sizzles. :)

Tutu, they are wonderful! I love them all, but Africa blob, proteas and fringe are just marvellous. . In message , Tutu Haynes-Smart writes

Oh, Tutu, I think you did more than get your toe wet - you're in up to your eyeballs! Those are wonderful. Absolutely terrific for a first try!

Gosh, those are wonderful. I think you have the technique down. Those are great!

Ooooh Tutu! They are gorgeous!!

You call that "to try"? - To try is making one! LOL They are gorgeous. Are you using the Bonnie McCaffery technique, tinsel (sp)? I remember seeing something to that effect on her Ipod video. Great Job, thanks for sharing.

Very, very nice!! I love those colors, and I think you should keep on making them. If the trials turned out this well, then you are on your way!

With the Africa ones and the Table Mountain ones, I created the fabric by sticking a whole lot of organza scraps on top of each other with a soldering iron and then cutting out the shape and fusing it onto the background. But I must admit that the actual making the postcard bit I haven't got down pat. I used the dreaded Heat & Bond on one and then had to bind the edges, coz you can't do satin stitch thru' H&B. Ask me how I know

Beautiful, as all your work. Proteas is my favourite one Heidi from Germany

Lovely, indeed, Tutu!

Ragmop/Sandy--leaving the indigo begging to KathyA ;-D

I love your Africa postcard with the stars on the top and bottom! I looks just like I was up in a satellite, looking down at the continent and seeing all the lights in those areas.

I also liked your photo of you and your grandson, Zach. :) It's old-fashioned looking -- Gramma with the wispy, curly hair, holding the little boy. The background is ruffled curtains over a bay window, maybe. The plant greenery. It looks like a photo that is in a silver frame, sitting on top of the old family piano. :)

Correction: the indigo was already a done baseball-swap-buddy deal. I'm begging for postcards here.

Just wanted to set the record straight. :)

Howdy!

ooo- pardon me! I thought you were begging for an indigo postcard, Tutu being so close to those indigos. There's always another indigo, right? And another 2 weeks to get those BBS squares sent. LOL
