Even after working on the Art Journal, I still felt stuck in a creative canyon. Or a lack of creative canyon. I was sort of half heartedly working in my studio but not accomplishing much. Is "accomplishing something" one of the boxes that I stick myself into? Maybe. But anyway - I was wanting to do something different and not quite sure what that meant. My solution when I get in this situation is to make quilted postcards.
The postcards are made with paper, are regulation size 4" x 6", can definitely be mailed successfully, and are quilted. First I choose a little picture of some sort and then some words and shapes and glue them to an index card. Then I add another index card on the back and quilt through the two layers to secure the edges of the glued objects. Then I add another index card and a backing printed card with postcard information and sew around the edges. A tiny little one-of-a-kind quilt! Made of paper! Very fun.
These cards are still at the glue stage with no stitching but I thought it might be fun to look at them. They are mostly silly and rarely make any logical sense. Hope you enjoy them!
