The rest of my heart postcards
Ahh yes, these are my last seven out of ten postcards, if you include the post below. I wasn't able to upload all seven photos in one post, so this is a "split post", so to speak. I've had hearts on my mind and brain for well over a month now, while making all these postcards. It was a fun swap and I love the heart theme. However, at this point I'm glad all my postcards are made and in the mail.
I won't go into detail on how I made these, for fairly obvious reasons. Suffice it to say I used a fabric background on all of them, which was my goal. On some the fabric is glued to frozen pizza cardboard (FPC), on the others I used the Mod Podge technic (explained in a previous post). They are all different, which was my plan.
Soon I'll be starting another collaborative effort with another online artist. Something I look forward to. And also working on my own fabric book, the first time ever. That is if I can get over my fear and intimidation of my new electronic Brother sewing machine. I totally love it, but am not familiar or comfortable with it yet.

WOW your post cards went in all kinds of wondrous directions. It looks like we each got our own special card. How awesome!
Love Love Love your heart postcards, Valerie.
very very beautiful, especially like the 1st one, the black and white!!!
I love fabic postcards and was involved in groups for quite a while, yours are very different and unique. Can they be mailed? Are they all postcard size? I haven't done any for a couple of years but yours are inspiring.
You are one SWEET HEART MAKER VAL! Hugs, Sanna

I was at Darlene's studio and saw your wonderful postcard you sent her. She said you used paper bags, you would never know.
I don't know what it is about your use of seed but I'm always instantly drawn to the pieces with them. These heart post cards are fabulous...each so unique and exquisite. Bravo, my friend!!
