The ATC 's are finally finished and I had a small swap on Saturday at the Fibre Arts group meeting.
I applied some net and machine couched some shiny gold thread (looks black in these pics) I then couched on some knitting yarns using a rough herringbone stitch by hand.
At this point I cut the shapes out into ATC size (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Once they are cut you can see what each needs to complete the designs. I decided to do some hand embroidering in a bright Orange as a complimentary colour to the blue-violets I had already used.
French knots I love doing and a couple of star bursts made just the difference. I even got fancy with a feather stitch and french knot flower.
I like them and I think the swapees liked them too.
I got 2 lovely cards in exchange - both very different from each other and from mine. Ain't variety great!!
