postcard art : part 3

You can read part 1 here
and part 2 here

The other postcard swap group I belong to is the “PFA SWAP GROUP – Heart & Handmade Postcard Fabric Art Creations”.
PFA stands for Postcard Fabric Art.
It is a sister group to the one I spoke about here   Members of the main group are invited to join once they have completed at least 3 of the challenges.
There are monthly swaps, the  themes for 2019 are:
animals & pets, buttons, wheels, your favourite singer/band/orchestra, birds, black & white, your favourite season, flowers, things that buzz, your favourite artist, into the forest, love.
Here are the cards I have sent so far …

theme : Everything Japanese

 

theme : birdhouses, front of card

I sent this one “semi naked” which means that I put the address and stamp on the actual card, but I then put it in a cellophane cover, leaving a gap for the stamp to be franked by the Post Office.

theme : pets and animals
front of card

I sent this one “semi naked” but it arrived fully naked as the cellophane cover had disappeared! It also arrived despite the fact that I had only written half of the address by mistake, so hat’s off to the Portuguese Postal system .

theme : buttons

This one had to go fully clothed, in an envelope, because of the buttons.

Here are the cards I have received from members of the group …

Charmian McDermid

Cindy Vrtis

Brenda White, England

I  really enjoy these swaps and look forward to taking part in many more in the months to come.

  1. Fabulous as always Fran! Thank you for including my cars in your wonderful blog!

  2. I love doing postcard size pieces … and why have I never thought about sewing buttons on like that!

  3. Hi Fran,
    All your post cards are beautiful. I love them all, love the stitching and colours you have used too. Thanks for including the post card groups in your blog posts. Also thank you for including the beautiful post card that you made and sent to me when we were partners in the group.

  4. Fabulous article about all things Postcard Fabric Art related, Fran! Great info and beautiful display of fabric art from some of our PFA members! Kudos to YOU and your ability to help the WORLD know postcards and creating art with our fabric + and sewing machines!!! All sewists need to learn about this IMHO. And I’ll be sharing this on our Postcard Fabric Art . . . Facebook page! ***smiles***
