Yellow Rolodex Swap

The Byhand Artists Group is having another of our Rolodex swaps and again Beth is our wonderful hostess. The theme this time is yellow and quotes. Well I came across these lovely lemon paper napkins right around the same time the swap was announced, so I just had to use them.



But wait, there's more. The forsythia was most co-operative and came into beautiful bloom, so I am sending these as well. The photo is cropped to fit and printed on watercolour paper. The quote on the front is printed on clear ink jet label and layered over torn vellum. The tag is torn watercolour paper, hand dyed mesh fabric and torn ink jet vellum stitched together. The ribbon on most is torn cotton fabric hand dyed in Making Memories craft acrylic Fresh Anthology Daffodil paint diluted in water. A few have lace edging for the ribbon. I hope all the swappers enjoy adding these to their Rolodex collection.

Pink Rolodex Swap 2008

Judy of the Byhand Artist's Yahoo group is hosting a Pink theme Altered Rolodex swap and this is a sample of my contribution. I started with a fan brush and painted the woven pattern with 2 shades of acrylic craft paint. I adden a small piece of weaving and the quote "friendship is woven of many threads" The back uses photos of some of my alrered heads and a piece of pink ribbon.
